Rome nursing home names new assistant administrator

Daniel S. Kemp has been named assistant administrator of Rome Health’s top ranked nursing home.

The 80-bed residential health care facility (RHCF) provides short-term rehabilitation, long-term care and respite care.

Kemp graduated from Utica College with a Bachelor of Science degree in health studies and earned his doctorate in physical therapy from Utica College. He advanced his education with a Master of Healthcare Administration from Utica University.

For the last six years, Kemp has been employed as a physical therapist at Rome Health

RHCF Administrator Charlie Lewis will serve as Kemp’s mentor for the state’s administrator-in-training program as he prepares to sit for his nursing home administrator licensing examination. Lewis has been a licensed nursing home administrator for more than 20 years and plans on retiring later this year.

“Rome Health has been a large part of my professional career,” said Kemp. “I have been very fortunate to have been able to collaborate with many amazing healthcare professionals to provide great care for our patients and residents,” Kemp said.
