Mary's Meadow At Providence

Mary's Meadow At Providence has a small-house environment with four separate houses, and in each you'll find shared living rooms, dining rooms, dens, and kitchens, and every resident gets a private room with a full bath, so things can feel much more like home than in a big place, and there's even a central chapel open to everyone for prayer or quiet time. The facility holds 40 certified beds and provides both long-term skilled nursing care and short-term rehabilitation services, with trained staff offering both clinical and personal care, working from care plans with set goals and actions that they check as things move along. Residents can self-administer drugs if that's safe for them, and there's an ongoing Quality Assessment and Assurance group, so they're looking at health and safety almost all the time. There are programs that focus on daily help and social activities, and staff follow clear rules for infection control. Mary's Meadow keeps track of hospital-related safety issues like blood clots, MRSA, catheter infections, and C. diff, and they also collect ratings from patients about nurses, doctors, response times, and how staff talk about medicines. Rooms and bathrooms get cleaned often, and things stay pretty quiet, helping folks rest and recover. The care model here focuses on a small-home approach and uses end of life care, rehabilitation, and extended care, with attention to comfort through features designed for ease and accessibility, and there's licensed nursing care on site. Staff also work on ongoing programs like Falls Prevention, Sepsis Smart, and other wellness efforts. Mary's Meadow is active in advocacy, paying attention to caregiver wages, and supports the MA Career Ladder Program and activities professionals through MassCAP. The facility runs committees for rules and quality and offers education and support to staff. Mary's Meadow At Providence focuses on making care personal and homelike, and was the first to bring this small-home model to Massachusetts for this kind of care.
