Located in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, Adviniacare Pawtucket Pleasant Rehab LLC, previously known as Oak Hill Health & Rehabilitation Center, is a skilled nursing community that offers skilled nursing care and rehabilitation services. Owned and operated by Deanna Paul, the community serves older adults in a centrally located urban setting with convenient access to nearby amenities and services. It also maintains strong occupancy levels and accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private-pay residents.
Since 2022, state surveys and complaint investigations have documented a high volume of deficiencies involving infection prevention, medication administration, nursing competencies, fire and life safety systems, resident rights, staff training, pressure ulcer management, and assistance with activities of daily living. Regulatory findings also identified failures to maintain required registered nurse coverage, gaps in behavioral health services, and deficiencies related to financial management and communication of Medicare and Medicaid coverage information.
Specifically, more recent inspections conducted in 2025 identified additional concerns involving skin care quality, resident supervision for elopement risk, maintenance of fire protection systems, and infection prevention measures. However, a follow-up survey completed in September 2025 confirmed that corrective actions had been implemented. This repeated pattern of deficiencies over multiple inspection cycles suggests ongoing operational and compliance challenges, particularly in areas involving medication safety, infection prevention, staffing practices, and life safety standards.
Adviniacare Pawtucket Pleasant Rehab LLC is best suited for older adults requiring skilled nursing or rehabilitation services in a Pawtucket community that has shown recent progress in corrective action compliance while continuing to work through long-term operational and quality improvement challenges.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Pawtucket, RI
What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Rhode Island?
Assisted living in Rhode Island supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.
What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Rhode Island?
Assisted living in Rhode Island is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.
Does Rhode Island Medicaid cover assisted living?
Rhode Island Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Rhode Island) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
What is assisted living?
Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.
How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?
This page features 4 assisted living facilities in Pawtucket, RI. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.
How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Pawtucket, RI?
Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Pawtucket, RI, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.
What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Pawtucket, RI?
Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
