Kenilworth Care & Rehab Center gets top rating from federal regulators
Sebring, Fla. (August 21, 2012) — Kenilworth Care & Rehabilitation Center is proud to announce that it has received a five-star quality rating, the highest overall score, from the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
Kenilworth is a 104-bed nursing community located at 3011 Kenilworth Blvd. in Sebring. It is one of 72 nursing facilities operated by Louisville, Ky.-based Signature HealthCARE LLC.
Under the five-star rating system, nursing homes are assessed in three main categories: health inspections, quality measures and staffing. The overall rating combines scores received in each of the three categories.
The system is intended to help consumers, families and caregivers compare nursing homes more easily and identify areas about which they would like to learn more. The building received especially high marks based in the Quality Measures. The Quality Measures is an important indicator that we are glad we have done well in. The Quality Measures assesses how well we are taking care of our residents.
It is an Honor to represent this facility and be part of improving the lives of our residents every day.
The Adopt-a-Friend Program here in Sebring continues to blossom.
A recent surprise visit by our community’s Girl Scout Troop 252 and recently-crowned sisters, 13 year-old Jr. Miss Avon Park, Kelli, and 16 year-old First Runner-Up, Cassandra. Cassandra gave a lesson on how to make friendship bracelets and Kelli shared some time painting with James.

China Doll Farms recently visited Kenilworth Care & Rehab to set up a petting zoo. Farm animals were shared with our precious elders and busy kids as a intergenerational event (Pet Day). Residents were able to spend time with the animals in the outdoors courtyard area, as well as during one-on-one room visits.
Among the animals were miniature goats and hogs, chickens, a goose, ducks, a calf, alpacas, rabbits and dogs. Lots of excitment took place as many went down memory lane, exchanging good old memories. The group sang songs, from ‘Old McDonald’ to ‘Amazing Grace,’ and more.
China Doll Farms is owned and operated by Rick and Rosa Haberman and has been in business for over 20 years.
“It was our pleasure to make a difference for you all,” Rick stated.
Kenilworth Care & Rehab Center would like to thank Rick and Rosa for making it happen. To visit the China Doll Farms website, click HERE.

Kenilworth Care & Rehab’s Employee Engagement Committee sponsored a Mardi Gras-themed fundraising during the month of March.
The committee sold beads for 50 cents a necklace, to be given to our administrator, Michael Rivera, or Director of Nursing Cathy Ayers. The recipient with the fewest beads – Michael – got to kiss ‘Baby Diva,’ a pig that is part of our TLC Pet Therapy program.
A total of 262 necklaces were sold to staff as well as some doctors and family members. Proceeds will help fund future events and activities at Kenilworth Care & Rehab.
Mrs. Harrington was unable to don her back brace after surgery and was weak and unable to live alone. Within a few weeks, she was able to care for herself, able to climb stairs to get back into her home and ambulated with a four-wheeled walker around the facility.
**Mrs. Harrington chose KC&RC because of our FIVE star rating. Upon her discharge, she reports that therapy dept. stood up to its well-deserved FIVE star rating.
When Mrs. Manar arrived to KC&RC, she was unable to dress or even stand by herself. Upon receiving occupational therapy, the patient now not only to dress herself but stand for a period of 40 minutes at a time. The patient is also able to bathe herself independently and utilize all safety precautions as needed. Upon discharge from KC&RC, the patient was able to resume her normal home activities and did not need to use any adaptive equipment to do so.
** Mrs. Manar has really come a long way since therapy started. She was not even able to stand up in the beginning but now she is ambulating in the building with a four-wheeled wheelchair. She is getting ready to go back to her ALF soon.
Mr. Williams came in with significant balance difficulties and needed somebody to assist him to get up and stabilize him. He was actually planning on going home in a wheel chair since he is afraid of falling. Through extensive balance and restibular training, he was able to ambulate independently using a four-wheeled walker and he wouldn’t believe how his balance and equilibrium had improved through therapy sessions.
Mrs. Ferguson had a TKR and she came in this facility for rehab. She was not impressed at first and wanted to go home the very next day. However therapy advised her to stay and try it for a few days and she agreed. Mrs. Ferguson decided to stay for the duration of 30 days and completed her therapy to have her knee function as close to what it was prior to being admitted. She was completely satisfied and even bragged to her surgeon about how good the care and therapy she received was while at KC&RC. She was discharged home with her independency restored.
Here we have additional testimonials of how great our Therapy Team has become united as 1 and carry out their duties to treat our residents and place them back where they are more conferrable and gain back the independency they once had before coming to our facility.
Patient was afraid of falling or fainting, but was very cooperative in an attempt to get better. Patient worked on increasing balance through line dancing, waltz, and swing music to achieve the established goal. Patient had berg balance test score of 51 / 56 at time of discharge.
