Ledgecrest Health Care Center sits in Kensington, Connecticut, and has 60 certified beds, usually about 46 residents each day, and people call it a nursing and rehab center since it covers skilled nursing, short-term rehab, subacute care, and long-term care, and they've got programs for memory care too, like for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia, and they even remind you in their materials that Alzheimer's care often costs three times more than regular senior health care, which is something to think about. The place has been managed by Ryan Vess since March 2013 and Brian Foley owns the whole thing. It's for-profit and runs as part of Apple Rehab, with a pretty high nurse turnover rate-about 52.8%-and that's above the Connecticut average, and on top of that, Ledgecrest provides 3.49 nurse hours per resident per day, a bit less than the state average, which is 3.8.
They've got some history of violations covering incontinence and catheter care, pressure sore prevention, and they got cited for things like protecting folks from neglect, abuse, or exploitation, but the records say no actual harm to residents, just the chance for more than minimal harm, and on their most recent standard inspection August 14, 2024, they had five deficiencies, with two related to infection control, and in total, the inspection records show 25 deficiencies. Ledgecrest offers basic things people expect, like laundry, housekeeping, and one or two prepared meals per day for independent living, and the independent apartments or condos are for active seniors who can take care of themselves, but they also help with assisted living tasks like dressing or bathing if you need it, and they've got general healthcare too.
There are therapy services-occupational and physical-available, probably during certain hours if you get a referral, and they've got outpatient therapy, IV services, and supports for folks on Medicaid and Medicare or those with disabilities, and you can find them at 154 Kensington Rd, not far from the center of town. The place is known for a warm, homelike feel, if you talk to residents, and they offer recreational and social programs that keep people busy, with the aim to help everyone reach their best physical and social potential, whether they're staying short term or long term. Ledgecrest is listed with the Connecticut Association of Health Care Facilities, and it's got a website and Facebook page where you can look up their detailed description, see a map, and update community info, and there's an online claim feature too, though finding many unique details about the facility isn't easy. The center's last known rating came in at 4.6 from 12 reviews, and many use it for long-term care guidance, family caregiving, and insurance resources, but the facts show it's like most other facilities, giving practical services but with some areas to improve.
