Overview of Adviniacare Pawtucket Pleasant Rehab LLC

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.
