Safe Haven Gardens offers the right balance between a small “homey environment” and one that promotes security, freedom, contentment and independence. The 16-bed unit has single and double rooms with a kitchen, a dining room, small and large areas for activities and socializing, and a beautiful courtyard for gardening and enjoying the outdoors without unnecessary restrictions. Our staff is trained for dementia care and our nursing team ratios are among the highest in Rhode Island as well as the country. Personal belongings, plants, pleasant smells from the kitchen, music and familiar objects provide positive sensory stimulation, rekindle fond memories, and minimize disorientation and anxiety. Residents from the Safe Haven Gardens unit are also assured priority placement in the 41-bed Advanced Care unit if they require more advanced care.
