Cherry Hill Manor

2 Cherry Hill Road, Johnston, RI 02919

Cherry Hill Manor earned the highest possible marks on health inspections and quality measures, meaning inspectors found a clean operation and residents see good outcomes, and staff here tend to stay put with low turnover. They also use antipsychotics at a rate far lower than the national average, a testament to hands-on care over medication.
