Kenwood Terrace Healthcare Center has a middle-range Medicare overall rating. Strengths include professional and caring physical therapy team. Some reviewers note concerns about chronic understaffing and slow response to call lights (mentioned by 7 reviewers). Review the health-inspection, staffing, and quality-measure components separately, then visit in person.
Kenwood Terrace Healthcare Center presents a highly polarized experience for families, with significant concerns regarding chronic understaffing, medication errors, and poor communication. While some reviewers praise the physical therapy department and the appearance of certain units, many report neglect, unresponsiveness to call lights, and substandard food quality. Families should be aware that experiences appear to vary drastically depending on the specific wing or the level of care required.

Key Review Excerpts
“The skilled rehab team was knowledgeable and compassionate, and the respite stay options were clearly designed with comfort and dignity in mind.”
“My wife was here for acute rehab following abdominal surgery. Some of the nurses, aides, and PTs were, individually, caring and professional, but were overwhelmed by the structural issues that now plague the facility.”
“The staff is rude and inattentive. The call light can be on for hours with no responses. Meanwhile staff is either no where to be found or congregating in plain sight for hours.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
