The organization provides skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, palliative care, Alzheimer's and memory care, and specialized hospice services.

Ryan and Michael A. Bigney, who shared the vision of providing multiple facets of health care for Rhode Islanders. The corporate compliance officer is Susan Bettencourt, RN, and the organization maintains a Corporate Compliance Plan to uphold high standards of ethics and integrity in all business conduct and care delivery.
Health Concepts LTD serves the Pawtucket area from its location on Pawtucket Ave. The facility is part of a broader network of six centers across Rhode Island, offering residents and their families access to a wide range of specialized services.
