Overview of Royal of Westerly Nursing Center

Located on Beach Street in Westerly, Rhode Island, Royal of Westerly Nursing Center is a skilled nursing home owned by Susan Misto. The 66-bed facility has been operating for 9 years. It serves residents needing short-term rehabilitation as well as longer-term nursing care.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families several options for covering care costs. The home has an occupancy rate of 89%. Residents stay an average of 120 days, including a mix of post-acute recovery stays and ongoing residential care.

Daily nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 26 minutes per resident. Registered nurses provide 52 minutes of direct care each day, while nurse aides contribute 1 hour and 44 minutes. With this level of staffing, the facility can work on its rehabilitation focus and provide care for residents with higher-acuity needs. Short-term rehabilitation, respite care, and 24-hour staffing are all part of the care program.

Specialized services include Alzheimer’s care, cardiac care, nutritional support, and activity enrichment programs. The facility also offers the Russian “Sunrise” Immersion Program and the Royal at Home program. These programs support cultural connection and continuity of care while adding to the daily experience of residents and families.

The facility is located in a car-dependent area with a Walk Score of 19. Most errands and outings require transportation. Its beachside community setting is close to the ocean. Families can expect a quieter pace in a New England coastal town.

State inspections identified concerns related to medication administration and quality procedures. The facility responded with corrective plans, and a later review confirmed that compliance had been restored.

Quality ratings

Measured by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)

Overall rating Info The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Health Inspection Info Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Staffing Info Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Quality Measures Info Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

vs avg

2 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric LPN / LVN is +29% above state avg
Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info 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. 52m per day ▲ 14% State avg: 46m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info 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. 38m per day ▲ 29% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info 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. 1h 44m per day ▼ 30% State avg: 2h 28m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info 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. 2h 50m per day ▼ 14% State avg: 3h 18m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation. 3m per day ▲ 14% State avg: 3m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Info 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. 35m per day ▲ 3% State avg: 34m per day · National avg: 28m per day
