Mansion Nursing & Rehabilitation Center sits in Pawtucket, RI, and folks might notice its historic setting right away, because it's been serving older adults for over 65 years, and inside, you'll find 62 certified beds-most days, about 51 residents live there, so it's not always full, but there's usually a good number of people around, and you see a wide range of services being offered. Skilled nursing gets provided around the clock, along with post-acute rehab services, and there are both short-term and long-term care options, so some people stay a little while after a hospital stay, while others live there because they need more help with chronic health needs.
Residents get personalized health plans that staff update regularly, and the place offers physical, occupational, and speech therapies, so if someone's got a movement disorder, orthopedic problem, or needs help talking or swallowing after a stroke, that's all handled on-site, and the rehabilitation services use current technology and methods. There's cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation for those who need help after major heart or lung problems, and wound care, IV therapy, and managed services for people needing a lot of help daily. The nursing staff provides an average of 3.19 hours of care per resident every day, and while that's close to state averages, the nurse turnover rate runs high at 56.3%, so faces might change more than some folks like.
Inspection reports show the facility has had 29 total deficiencies over time, including some important points like infection-related issues (two reported, one being the F0880 citation for not following infection control rules), a dietary deficiency for how food's handled or where it's from (F0812), and an environmental issue (F0921) about keeping things safe, clean, and comfortable for everyone. While the center's always working to improve, these are things to keep in mind.
Mansion provides a list of amenities and services like laundry, recreation, and transportation, and there are activities for socializing and keeping the mind active, along with a strong focus on holistic programs to enrich body and spirit. Residents have a say in care planning and menu choices, and dietary programs get monitored by a registered dietitian, aiming for both nutritious and tasty meals, and the facility offers flexibility for wake-up times and other normal routines.
People can get mental health help, wound management, hospice support, and even psychiatric care, plus podiatry, dental, and eye services, with on-site pharmacy, lab, and X-ray help, which means fewer trips out of the building for residents. There's Alzheimer's and dementia care, and a respite care program lets families get a break if they need it. Independent and assisted living are both available depending on what level of support someone needs.
The building usually keeps a community feel, using the latest tools, and maintains in-person visiting hours from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm, with virtual visits from 11:00 am to 4:30 pm, making it easier for families to stay connected. Mansion Nursing & Rehabilitation Center carries a history of strong service, having once been picked as one of the best nursing homes by U.S. News & World Report for 2017-2018, and current residents rate it about 3.7 out of 5, based on 17 reviews, so you'll see folks with mixed opinions.
When someone needs both skilled nursing and rehabilitation support, this place covers a broad spectrum, from daily assistance and comfort to specialty therapies and social activities, always aiming to restore each person's function and dignity for as long as they call it home.
