AdviniaCare Waterview Villa

My Father was admitted here for some rehab, unfortunately my Dad was terminally ill with not alot of strength left to help himself. His time here was good. The Nurses and the staff was always trying to get my Dad motivated. They met almost every request we had for him and with the help of the Nurses was able to learn how to help my Dad at home. My only discourage thing was at times they did not have the help they needed to assist with the care of these residents. The ones who showed up and cared for these residents were Excellent and tried their Hardest to work with what they had. A Big Thank You to the staff on unit 2 for always trying to be intentive for my Dad. Thank you for caring for him as if he was one of your family members. That will always be with me. Thank you 💖

The nursing staff was exceptionally patient and compassionate with my Mother during her rehab stay. I’m so thankful for each and every person on the second floor who cared for her. So kind to answer all my concerns without hesitation although they were extremely busy. I will always be so grateful for them during this serious transition. True earth angels, thank you!

My husband went to Waterview Villa after being at Roger Williams Hospital for three days for a blocked bladder and a UTI. There he was given oral antibiotics. He had a Foleycatheter. He does have Alzheimer's and is not able to advocate for himself. During one visit, I noticed his clothes and the bed were quite wet. It turned out that the Foley had not been connected to The urine bag. So all the urine just covered the bed and his clothing. At one point, they started an IV because he was showing signs of dehydration. During anothervisit it appeared to me that the IV was not even running. I called a nurse and when she came after a long while she also realized the IV was not running. These were just two of several difficulties. On the third or fourth day, I got a call early in the morning that his heart rate was very high, and his breathing was very labored. They were sending him by ambulance to Rhode Island Hospital. They found him critically dehydrated and that the infection had moved into his kidneys and lungs. they started to prepare us for his expected death. Meanwhile, they did the tests necessary. To provide the appropriate treatment. He did pull through and is now at a nursing home that is giving him the kind of care everyone should have Regardless of age and ability.
