    Caring staff but unsafe care

    I found the therapists, nurses, CNAs and support staff caring and the facility exceptionally clean and home-like - rehab and therapy were often top-notch. However, I experienced serious failures: poor communication about coverage that triggered an abrupt discharge, delayed or incorrect medical care and transfers, occasional neglect (missed showers/soiled clothing, bruising), unhelpful leadership, missing personal items and billing/therapy-time issues. Because of those safety and communication problems, I cannot recommend this facility despite the excellent frontline staff.

    Summary review

    The reviews for Roberts Health Center Inc are strongly polarized, showing a clear split between numerous reports of high-quality, compassionate care and a significant number of serious negative experiences. Positive reviewers repeatedly praise the therapy teams (OT/PT), describing the rehab program as top-notch and instrumental in recovery. Many families and residents highlight kind, family-like CNAs and support staff, an overall clean facility, small/home-like atmosphere, attentive local ownership, pleasant outdoor space, and occasions of very good food and service. These accounts emphasize individualized attention, responsive staff, and pride in the building and management.

    Conversely, negative reviews raise multiple, recurring and serious concerns. The most frequent complaints involve nursing staff behavior and reliability: reviewers report rude, uncaring, or unresponsive nurses and aides, and instances where staff allegedly made uncalled-for remarks or ignored reports of abuse. Several reviews describe lapses in basic personal care and hygiene — residents going without showers for up to two weeks, soiled clothing, dirty hair and odors — which contrasts sharply with other accounts of exceptional cleanliness. Safety and clinical competence are also prominent issues: reports include alleged medication mismanagement (leading to abnormal weight gain or other complications), misdiagnosis (e.g., pneumonia), unnecessary or repeated hospital transfers, delays in urgent care that led to calling 911, documented bruises and head injuries from care incidents, and at least one account of a patient falling at home after an abrupt discharge with insufficient at-home assistance.

    Administration, communication, and discharge practices are another area of concern. Multiple reviewers describe poor communication both internally between staff and externally with families — unclear information about in-house resources (such as dental services), miscommunication about health coverage causing unexpected discharges, and billing errors (for example, incorrect cable charges). Several accounts single out the director of nursing or other managers as unhelpful, lacking empathy, or failing to rectify errors. There are also allegations of profit-driven attitudes and unprofessional management behaviors that contributed to family distress. Conversely, some reviews specifically praise local ownership and management for being meticulous and resident-focused, highlighting inconsistent experiences across different encounters or time periods.

    Rehab and therapy receive consistent praise even among mixed reviews, but there are complaints about the delivery model in some cases — notably very short therapy sessions (e.g., reported 30 minutes/day), long transport times from rooms to therapy areas, and patients being confined to rooms when more active engagement was expected. Dining receives mixed feedback as well: some reviewers applaud the kitchen staff and good meals, while others describe horrible food and poor dining service.

    Taken together, the pattern is one of uneven quality with strong positives in rehabilitation, some support roles, and facility cleanliness (per many reviewers), but persistent and serious negatives relating to nursing care, clinical safety, personal hygiene assistance, administrative competence, and family communication. For prospective residents or family members, these reviews suggest it would be important to: observe nursing interactions and staffing during a visit, ask specifically about medication management and clinical escalation procedures, review discharge policies and aftercare planning, inquire about therapy session lengths and transport logistics, confirm billing practices, and seek references about consistency across shifts. The presence of both highly laudatory and highly critical reports indicates that experiences may depend heavily on particular staff members, shifts, or management responsiveness, so due diligence and ongoing monitoring are advisable.

    About Roberts Health Center Inc

    Roberts Health Center Inc sits over at 25 Roberts Way in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, and has been family owned and operated since 1982, holding 66 certified beds, with 33 on each of the two floors, and it offers 24-hour skilled rehabilitation and nursing care for both short-term and long-term stays, now, with a nurse turnover rate at 45.1% and an average of 4.71 nurse hours per resident per day, residents get steady, though not perfect, care, and you'll find both private and semi-private rooms, plus private rehabilitation rooms folks can book after surgical procedures. The facility's got standard and complaint inspection reports from 2022 that add up to four noted deficiencies-one related to Pharmacy Service and medication error prevention at a severity level D, and another, more serious, under Freedom from Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation marked as severity level G, and with these inspections, it's clear the center tracks areas needing improvement. The center offers daily nursing care, rehabilitation, incontinence and high acuity care, diabetic and non-ambulatory services, plus individual rehabilitation programs and both short-term and long-term care, and folks can count on simple in-room amenities like cable TV and a phone, though there's a monthly fee of fifty dollars for these extras. Roberts Health Center Inc provides spaces for community gathering, devotional and on-site activities, plus restrooms and accepts credit cards, with the whole place managed by Richard Catallozzi since June 2016, who's also the sole owner. The center takes a range of insurance plans like Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealth Group, Elevance Health, Centene Corp, Kaiser Permanente, Humana, Aetna, Health Care Services Corporation, Cigna, Molina Healthcare, Highmark, and CareSource, which takes a bit of the hassle out of paying for care. For addiction care and mental health support, Roberts Health Center Inc stands out by offering long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab, supporting dual diagnoses like depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and conduct disorder, and it'll treat a big list of substance issues ranging from alcohol to meth, heroin, cocaine, and prescription drugs, using options like methadone, Suboxone, Naltrexone, and acamprosate among others, all tailored for men, women, teens, veterans, seniors, LGBTQ+ folks, and even faith-based and luxury options. Specialty therapy programs include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, individual and group work, experiential and equine therapy, relapse prevention skills, and wilderness therapy, on top of intervention, detox, inpatient, partial hospital, intensive outpatient, outpatient, aftercare, and sober living programs for ongoing support. So, Roberts Health Center Inc mostly focuses on providing consistent rehabilitation and nursing care in a family-like setting, while also giving extra support through programs you don't always see at every skilled nursing or senior community, and if you want a better look, there's a virtual tour available for visitors and prospective residents.
