Key information about the people who lead and staff this community.
In Rhode Island, the Department of Health, Center for Health Facilities Regulation is the primary authority for inspecting, licensing, and reporting on all long-term care facilities.
The data displayed corresponds to the last 5 years.
Inspections are mandatory, regular evaluations conducted by state health departments or regulatory agencies. They ensure the community provides safe, compliant care, covering areas like resident health, staff and management.
Deficiencies indicate regulatory issues. A higher number implies the facility had several areas requiring improvement.
Rhode Island average: 34 deficiencies
The most recent inspection on June 17, 2024, found multiple deficiencies including issues with resident supervision, care planning, medication management, infection control, and life safety code compliance. Earlier inspections also cited deficiencies primarily related to quality of care and infection prevention, with prior plans of correction accepted and deficiencies corrected at follow-up reviews. Inspectors noted recurring themes around professional standards in care plans, infection control practices, and supervision during meals for residents at risk. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports, and no complaint investigations were substantiated. The pattern suggests ongoing challenges with care and safety protocols, with some previous deficiencies addressed but new issues identified in the latest survey.
