KENSINGTON HEALTH AND REHABILITATION

Kensington Health and Rehabilitation holds a 5-star overall rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score and reflects genuinely strong performance across the board. The health inspection rating, also 5 stars, is a particularly meaningful signal for families - it means state inspectors found very few, if any, serious problems during their visits, which speaks to how consistently the facility is run day to day. The staffing rating comes in at 4 stars, meaning nurses and aides are spending more time with residents than most comparable facilities, so your loved one is less likely to wait long when they need help or attention. The quality measures rating sits at 3 stars, which is right at average - this score reflects clinical outcomes like how often residents experience falls, pressure wounds, or declines in mobility, so there is some room for improvement there compared to top-performing facilities. The overall 5-star rating is a composite that weighs all three areas together, with health inspections carrying the heaviest influence. In Kensington's case, the excellent inspection and strong staffing scores are clearly driving that top-tier overall rating, even with the average quality measures score pulling slightly against it. For families, that combination suggests a well-managed, adequately staffed facility with a clean track record with regulators - though it is worth asking the staff directly about how they monitor and address the kinds of clinical outcomes that feed into that quality measures score.
