Scalabrini Villa

Rhode Island · United States · Hospital

The older of the two buildings was a children's facility belonging to the state hospital.

This nursing home at North Kingstown, Rhode Island is made up of two buildings. The newer one went up in 1995. The older one, of uncertain date, was originally a children's facility run by Rhode Island Hospital.

The children who died there are who is reported.

A children's hospital of that era was a place where families left a child and went home, because visiting was restricted and infection control meant keeping parents out. Children with tuberculosis, polio and rheumatic fever spent months or years in such places.

A building that held sick children and now holds the very old is a whole human span in one address, and both groups arrived because there was nowhere else.

The home is private and residents should not be disturbed.
