The Rehabilitation and Nursing Center – Kentridge, formerly known as Rehabilitation and Nursing Center – Kalamazoo Avenue, is located on a 10 acre campus, our indoor and outdoor spaces are designed to provide opportunities for improving independences, strength, and confidence. Two main floor courtyards provide easy-to-access outdoor space for rest and renewal. Most patient rooms are private, and have an attached bathroom and shower, television with cable, phone, and a large window. Each unit has a large and accessible living and dining space, and a menu-based meal service is provided.

For over 30 years Corewell Health Rehabilitation and Nursing Center – Kentridge has provided a comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation program where a team of clinical professionals provide coordinated medical, nursing, clinical and therapy services for people who need to stay in the program 24 hours/day, until they are stronger and ready to return back to community based living. This 77 bed program is located on the first floor of a two story building, and is designed to meet the needs of people who would benefit from an integrated interdisciplinary approach to care, but do not meet the criteria for an ‘Acute Rehabilitation Program’, such as Corewell Health’s Inpatient Rehabilitation Center at Blodgett Hospital. “Subacute” rehabilitation programs are provided outside of the hospital, in skilled nursing facilities (SNF).

As specialists in rehabilitation, our program team members are passionately focused on helping every person who comes through our door to improve their overall function and abilities. The entire rehabilitation team works with the person served and their families or support systems to develop a treatment plan that addresses the goals and preferences of each person.

The program serves people with orthopedic and medical diagnoses, ortho-trauma, and neurologic conditions such as ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, rehabilitation following brain tumor , hypoxic and anoxic brain injury and traumatic brain injury. The average length of stay for all people served is 21 days, however length of stay may be shorter or longer, depending on each person’s diagnosis and rate of progress. We are able to safely manage medically complex issues such as:

• Tracheotomy care and weaning
• Enteral feeding (‘tube feeding’)
• Wound care, including management of vac dressings
• IV medications
• TPN
