Key Review Excerpts
“The activities that South Kingstown Rehab has for their residents are incredible! Fishing at the local pond, family celebrations, so many outdoor adventures to sunflower fields, campfires with s'mores, music on the lawn ..”
“The administrative staff lead by Cheryl has made us feel like this is a home. They answer our questions and update us on my stepfather's health, issues and direction of care whenever we ask.”
“The physical and speech therapy were good. However, the nursing staff was very poor, almost negligent. They did not answer the call light for over an hour.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
