St Antoine Residence sits on a peaceful 30-acre wooded property in North Smithfield, Rhode Island, and has served people since 1966 as a non-profit corporation, typically caring for about 170 residents each day, and though it has a total of 260 certified beds, it usually keeps a steady resident population, and the facility offers several care options like long-term care in The Residence, assisted living in The Villa, memory care in the secure Primrose Lane unit, and short-term rehab through Easy Street. The place reports 3.73 nurse hours per resident each day and a nurse turnover rate of 32.7%, and while the staff provide 24-hour skilled nursing care, rehabilitation, personal care like bathing and grooming, medication support, and health monitoring for physical, cognitive, and emotional needs, there've been some state inspection concerns, including 28 total deficiencies, issues with pharmacy services like missed monthly drug reviews, two infection-related deficiencies, and problems related to protecting residents from abuse, neglect, and exploitation.
Therapeutic programs, daily activities, and amenities are available for residents, especially those with memory loss or dementia, with specially trained staff in dedicated spaces meant to keep residents safe and comfortable, and there are walking paths through the grounds, three formal dining rooms, private rooms with bathrooms, safety grab bars, and emergency call lights. The facility has Wi-Fi, high ceilings, wall-to-wall carpeting, resident-controlled thermostats, window drapery, and private bathrooms with emergency pull cords, aiming to keep daily life as comfortable as possible, and pets aren't allowed. There's a dedicated Hospice Suite to serve people at the end of life, with a homelike feel, and residents needing spiritual support get help from pastoral care, daily Eucharist, and quiet time in the chapels-spaces made for reflection and all faiths. St Antoine Residence hosts fundraising and community events, keeps gardens and walking areas nice for fresh air, and aims to offer caring support, but it's important to know the facility has documented inspection problems, and some details about apartment layouts, parking, utilities, and fees aren't published.
