Overview of Oakland Grove Health Care Center

Oakland Grove Health Care Center, in Woonsocket, RI, carries nursing home care and skilled nursing. Licensed nursing is on site for residents who need more than occasional help, and the residential track covers the ongoing care.

Plenty of those bookings come from a spouse who is willing and present but simply unable to manage a transfer from bed to chair without hurting somebody.

The Wellness Center supports on-site wellness activity. A salon means hair care gets arranged inside the building. Outdoor shaded seating is there for days with good weather.

There are 178 beds, and a resident’s day carries 3 hours and 51 minutes of nursing. Three payers are accepted here: Medicare handles a skilled stretch after a qualifying hospital stay; Medicaid takes over where personal funds run out first, and private payment covers a family paying directly. Brian McGuinness runs the building as administrator.
