Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
This home is ranked 25th out of 56 homes in Rhode Island. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
| 28m per day | ▼ 39% State avg: 46m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
| 55m per day | ▲ 90% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 2h 26m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 2h 28m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 3h 28m per day | ▲ 5% State avg: 3h 18m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Weekend RN
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
| 16m per day | ▼ 53% State avg: 34m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on January 15, 2026, identified deficiencies related to professional standards of care, medication administration, central venous catheter care, and oral care, including medication error rates above 5%. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of similar issues with medication errors, quality of care, resident rights, and infection control, along with substantiated complaints about disrespectful staff behavior, delayed wound care, and inadequate supervision leading to harm. Complaint investigations confirmed problems such as medication errors causing harm, failure to honor resident rights, and insufficient staffing affecting call light response, but enforcement actions like fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility has submitted plans of correction addressing many cited deficiencies, and some follow-up surveys found prior issues corrected. While deficiencies persist, the record shows ongoing efforts to address problems with medication management, resident care, and staff conduct.
