Scalabrini Villa in North Kingstown operates as a skilled nursing home, providing round-the-clock clinical oversight and support for residents with complex or chronic health conditions. Licensed nurses are on duty 24 hours a day to handle medication administration, wound care, IV therapy, and the monitoring of vital signs. Short-term respite stays are available, giving family caregivers temporary relief while ensuring that the individual receives the same level of professional nursing attention as long-term residents.
Beyond daily medical management, the facility offers on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapies ordered by a physician, as well as coordinated care with outside specialists and hospitals when required. A medical director oversees each resident’s care plan, which is reviewed regularly by an interdisciplinary team that includes nurses, therapists, dietitians, and social workers. Emergency response systems are in place, and the staff is trained to recognize early signs of health changes to reduce avoidable hospital readmissions.
Resident rooms come in a range of layouts, and not all accommodations include every feature. Some rooms look out onto landscaped grounds, while others are closer to indoor common areas. Outdoor patios and walking paths give residents access to fresh air and seasonal activities, and maintenance staff keeps the surroundings safe and tidy.
Three nutritionally balanced meals are provided each day, prepared under the guidance of a registered dietitian who adapts menus for specialized diets such as low-sodium or diabetic plans. Meals are typically served in a communal dining room to encourage social interaction, though tray service to a resident’s room can be arranged when health needs make that preferable.
Residents can spend free time in the facility’s activity center, browse books or use computers in the library and computer lounge, and join organized clubs and community groups that match their interests. Regular programming is scheduled to promote engagement and help residents stay mentally and socially active.
