We are proud of our uniqueness! We have a program for Alzheimer’s disease and other related dementias that provides care in our secure unit. Many staff at all levels and in all departments are certified Montessori Memory Care Providers who have received specialized training in this type of care.
We provide sub acute rehabilitation and nursing care for people who have recently left the hospital and need time to transition before returning to their homes. Our nurses are CPR certified, have had IV training, and are adept at monitoring their patients and responding to their medical needs quickly. Our interdisciplinary team meets to review the care of our sub acute patients very closely as they progress toward their goals. The team at Kentmere provides postsurgical care, orthopedic rehabilitation, wound care and care of chronic diseases like congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and Parkinson’s disease, to name a few.
Our rehab team of physical, speech and occupational therapists do a great job of interfacing with our nursing team and the patients’ families to create specific goals and optimize each person’s function. They communicate often with our families and educate them about how to care for a loved one as they return home, providing home evaluations where appropriate. They feature different modalities such as electric stimulation, ultrasound and diathermy in specific cases. Our spacious rehab gym even has a simulated home kitchen to practice in!
