Mount St. Rita Health Centre

Mount St. Rita Health Centre sits on over 50 acres in Cumberland, Rhode Island, and has served seniors since 1971, providing many types of care like short-term rehab, long-term care, respite care, hospice, and palliative care, plus skilled nursing after surgery or illness, all as a nonprofit sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy. The facility has 98 licensed skilled nursing beds, with 21 certified beds as of June 2025, and it accepts Medicaid and Medicare, offering private and semi-private rooms with bathrooms, air conditioning, cable TV, furnished rooms, and Wi-Fi. Residents will find daily housekeeping, laundry service, transportation and parking, plus move-in help, and enjoy a restaurant-style dining room with professional meal prep, offering options for allergies, diabetes, and other special diets. There's always something going on, with a monthly newsletter and master calendar, daily scheduled activities like bingo, crafts, ceramics, exercise, and movie and music programs, and some activities are resident-run, while there are outdoor programs and community outreach projects like the "Lend a Hand-Receive a Hand" effort where sandwiches go to the homeless. People living here have access to a fitness room, art room, movie theater, library, garden, and outdoor walking paths, and for staying well-groomed, there are beauty and barber services. Skilled care includes medication management, help with bathing and dressing, non-ambulatory care, post-hospital rehab, tracheostomy care, Wound Vac therapy, psychological services, and therapies like physical, speech, and occupational, plus a 12-16 hour nursing shift and staff supervision around the clock, with a 24-hour call system always available. There's devoted pastoral support offering mass, rosary, and counseling, and the staff help with all daily living needs, including transferring or getting ready each day. The facility connects with church life and hosts special events for residents, families, and staff, and residents often participate in outreach and volunteer work. Mount St. Rita stays open daily from 8:00 to 18:00, including weekends, and its main website is mountstrita.org. The place aims to give compassionate care rooted in long-term nursing experience, and the focus stays on a warm, supportive setting with both health care and community at its heart.
