South Kingstown Nursing & Rehab sits on South County Trail in West Kingston and has 112 beds, including 96 beds for skilled nursing and rehabilitation, a secure 36-bed Alzheimer's and dementia care unit, and a newer 16-bed sub-acute unit, offering a range of care for those dealing with chronic illnesses or needing help with daily activities, and you'll find the building is fully handicap accessible so moving about is easier for people using wheelchairs or walkers. Respite care is available around the clock, and the facility's licensed staff provide long-term care, subacute care, and short-term rehab services for people recovering from hospital stays or who need extra help for awhile, plus there's specialized hospice services and palliative care when needed. The nursing home accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and most major insurances, and a licensed physician works with the nurses to keep an eye on the changing health needs of the residents, which gives families some peace of mind while knowing their loved ones are cared for by skilled clinicians, including nurses, physical and occupational therapists, dietitians, social workers, administrative staff, and activities personnel all working together.
There's an emphasis on personal care and support for seniors who can't stay safely at home anymore, and individualized care plans help meet each person's needs, whether that means help with walking, strengthening exercises, pain management, or social activities, all organized by a restorative team in partnership with the rehabilitation department. The dementia and Alzheimer's unit is fully secured for safety, providing memory support, while the meals are planned by chefs and dietitians for good nutrition. This family-owned and operated community is recognized for skilled nursing, assisted living, and rehabilitation, and has merged with Home Health and Hospice Care of Nursing Placement, which helps offer a full spectrum of care as health needs change over time. Besides medical care, the staff aims to support the social, emotional, and spiritual well-being of the residents through group activities and supportive programs, and the community tries to keep care compassionate and person-centered. Reviews give the place a rating of 3.0, and photos and other information about rooms and amenities are available for people who want to see what to expect before making a decision.
