Dawn Hill Home, also known as Dawn Hill Home Rehab & Healthcare Center and formerly called Saint Elizabeth, sits in Bristol, Rhode Island, near Colt State Park, and has been serving people in the Eastbay RI area and parts of Massachusetts for over 20 years as a nursing home and rehab center, and a few still know the place for its ties to the East Bay Chamber of Commerce since 1979 and its recent purchase by GreenTree Healthcare Management. This facility is a for-profit limited liability company, and it's got 133 certified beds, usually caring for about 122 residents each day, but out of those, it only has a secure memory unit with space for 10 beds, which some folks might find a bit puzzling. The place focuses most on skilled nursing, clinical rehab services-including care for orthopedic issues like hips and knees-weekly wound care, and offers Trilogy Vents service, and even though they say they deliver exceptional care, there isn't much information about extra amenities or special programs beyond the basics of rehab and healthcare. People who stay there can expect the facility to take most insurances and offer both rehab and healthcare services, plus skilled nursing and respite care, so it's set up for short- and long-term needs.
Dawn Hill Home has seen its share of troubles, with three inspection reports in recent years showing a total of 38 deficiencies, and the nurse turnover rate is 50.4%, which is above the state average of 43.7%, even though the nurses who do stay provide 4.02 hours of care per resident each day, which is a bit more than the state average of 3.8. Some of the cited problems include not always protecting resident information and keeping medical records up to date, mishandling pharmacy services leading to medication errors, and not always giving safe and proper pain management according to regulations. Infections have also been an issue, with one deficiency related to not doing enough to stop the spread of infections. Dawn Hill Home got a complaint report on March 13, 2025, that highlighted three deficiencies, so it's a good idea for families to look at inspection records and ask questions about how the facility handles these concerns. There's no mention of unique amenities or specialized care programs, but Dawn Hill Home does accept most insurances and seems to serve a steady population, focusing on rehab and healthcare for local residents.
