Throughout his life, Fred finds that he has always held compassion for the seniors in our communities...

Fred grew up in Glocester, RI and graduated from Ponaganset High School in North Scituate, RI. Shortly after, he joined the United States Air Force and served between 1991 and 1995. Fred spent those years posted at Rammstein Air Base in Germany; serving dutifully and enjoying travels through Europe when he had time off-base. After returning home, Fred earned an Associate Degree in criminal justice and initially intended to pursue a career in law enforcement. His first position in such a role came with his hiring as a security guard at the Omni Hotel in Providence, RI. He then made a lateral move within the hotel organization for a job in their accounting department and worked his way up to the title of Assistant Controller. After a few years in this role, Fred changed careers once more—but this time for his ultimate passion as a healthcare provider. He trained as soon as possible to become a Certified Nursing Assistant; studying simultaneously to satisfy the prerequisites for nursing school while working as a CNA.

There is also a family legacy that Fred tributes through his career in nursing. His mother worked as a Nurse, and he appreciates being able to carry on the caregiving tradition as her son. Fred achieved his goals and his degree as a Registered Nurse in 2010 from the Community College of Rhode Island. Beyond this achievement, he worked in various rehabilitation centers (including hospital and acute care settings) in Rhode Island and in Florida, but in all of these medical destinations, he maintained the greatest appreciation for providing skilled care in nursing homes. His current role as the Assistant Nursing Supervisor of Westview Commons integrates the best qualities of all the skills that Fred possesses. With his strong understanding of military responsibility, corporate hospitality, and nursing proficiency, Fred is celebrated by colleagues and clients alike at Westview Commons.

As the son of Fred Inman III and Carolyn Inman, and as the father to his son Fred Inman V and daughter Briana, Fred values family time together whenever possible. Although he hung up his own hockey skates a while ago, he remains on the active roster of devoted Boston Bruins fans. Fred is an avid golfer and makes an effort to hit the links wherever and whenever he can. Traveling is another engaging pastime for Fred; this interest beginning through his excursions to other European locations while stationed in Germany with the United States Air Force. He enjoys his adventures in the mountainous regions of Maine and New Hampshire for whitewater rafting, and he has his sights set on traveling to a few key destinations in the domestic United States in the future such as the Alaskan wilderness and California coastline.

It's clear that Fred loves his daily mix of responsibilities at Westview Commons. He feels right at home helping the assisted living residents with any of their clinical needs and also maintaining his necessary documentation, office responsibilities, and lifestyle accommodations for residents at every moment in-between. In the best of ways, Fred was surprised to be awarded the Employee of the Month distinction from Westview Commons. “It’s humbling! I benefit as much from the enjoyment working with the older population as they benefit from my help.” Fred further detailed: “I can build a lot of personal connections with our residents here, and that’s what draws me to this type of environment. I love getting to know all of the people and personalities at Westview Commons!”

The dedication that Fred displays in his position at Westview Commons is noticeable to the residence’s Executive Vice President David T. Panteleakos.
