Overview of Elmwood Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

On Elmwood Avenue in Providence’s West End, 1.5 miles from the city center, Elmwood Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a 70-bed facility that covers nursing home, hospice, memory, and palliative care on one campus. The neighborhood is genuinely walkable, with a Walk Score of 80. Ninety percent of beds are currently occupied, and the average resident stay runs 102 days, a number that reflects a population mixing longer-term care with some shorter clinical stays.

Erica Lewis administers the facility. The community accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, covering the full range of standard coverage pathways.

An Alzheimer’s care unit is part of the campus structure, alongside the nursing home. For families managing a cognitive diagnosis alongside other care needs, having both under one roof simplifies placement decisions. CMS-confirmed programs include an Active Resident Council, a Residents Group, and a state-approved nurse aide training program that runs on-site.

Staffing figures from CMS put total nursing hours at 4 hours 15 minutes per resident per day. RN coverage runs at 40 minutes daily, and nurse aide hours at 2 hours 22 minutes. State inspections have historically focused on medication management, infection prevention and control, and resident rights. These are common regulatory areas across long-term care, and their appearance here should be read as context rather than a signal.

Elmwood Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a small, fully occupied, urban nursing facility that accepts all three major payer types and serves residents across nursing care, memory care, hospice, and palliative care in a walkable Providence neighborhood.
