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 6 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
1.0 deficiencies per inspection
The most recent inspection on April 24, 2025, identified deficiencies related to management of services, resident records, wound care, and notification of responsible parties about incidents such as falls and injuries. Earlier inspections showed a mixed pattern, with some reports noting medication storage and documentation issues, while others found no deficiencies. The main themes across deficiencies involved care and service management, timely physician orders, wound care documentation, and communication with responsible parties. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated except for the latest substantiated complaint involving deficient care and documentation. The trend suggests ongoing challenges with documentation and care coordination despite periods without deficiencies.
