Delaware average: 64 deficiencies
Inspection Report Summary for Kentmere Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center
The most recent inspection on November 22, 2024, identified deficiencies related to residents’ rights, abuse and neglect, medication administration, care planning, pharmacy services, food safety, and equipment safety. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues including staffing shortages, failure to provide timely emergency care, infection control lapses, and deficiencies in resident care and documentation. Complaint investigations substantiated abuse, neglect, and misappropriation of property, with staff disciplinary actions noted, but no fines or license actions were listed in the available reports.
