Eleanor Slater Hospital provides long-term acute and post-acute hospital level of care to patients with complex medical and psychiatric needs.

Gov. Gina M. Raimondo ordered a thorough review of the hospital in February 2015 amid allegations of abuse of three patients with profound disabilities. In October 2015, she appointed an interim management team to run the hospital amid a national search for new leadership.
