Each person admitted to Cedar Crest Subacute &
Rehabilitation Centre receives a clinical evaluation where any existing
medical, physical, cognitive or psychosocial problems are identified.
Under the direction of the patient’s physician and our Nurse
Practitioner, The Cedar Crest Team designs a tailor-made treatment
program. We firmly believe that the individuals in our care and
their families are the most important members of the team. We encourage
them to participate in the creation and implementation of the overall
treatment plan.
Cedar Crest is unique among other long-term care facilities by our
employment of full-time, in-house Nurse Practitioners who support
the medical team. Our Nurse Practitioners can assess ill patients,
conduct histories and physicals, review laboratory results, respond
to emergency situations, diagnose, prescribe and treat acute and
chronic conditions.

Cedar Crest has a competitive edge with the tremendous
advantage of an in-house, full-time team of licensed therapists
who offer physical, occupational and speech therapy six-days per
week. This means patients and staff get to know each other and patients
receive exactly the therapy they need to maximize outcomes.
Cedar Crest staff receives ongoing training and education, and are
actively involved in positive change through Quality Improvement
committees that review issues and recommend solutions in areas such
as fall prevention, pressure ulcer prevention, and pain management.
Finally, Cedar Crest also has the highest licensed staff to patient
ratio in Rhode Island.
All of this translates into a stable environment of well-trained
and well-educated professionals clearly providing Cedar Crest patients
with the best possible care available.
