This home is ranked 21st out of 53 homes in Rhode Island.| Staff type | Hours / day | 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.
| 34m per day | ▼ 26% 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.
| 40m per day | ▲ 38% 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 15m per day | ▼ 9% State avg: 2h 28m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day |
|
Total Nursing (Weekend)
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 18m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 3h 18m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
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.
| 6m per day | ▲ 100% State avg: 3m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
RN (Weekend)
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.
| 23m per day | ▼ 32% State avg: 34m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

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 December 12, 2025, identified deficiencies related to residents’ rights to refuse medications, inadequate weight monitoring, and lack of qualified dietitian services. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues including infection control lapses, medication errors, inadequate supervision, environmental hazards, and care planning deficiencies. Complaint investigations substantiated concerns about Legionella infection, medication administration errors, resident falls, pest infestations, and elopement, but enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The main themes across deficiencies involved resident care practices, medication management, infection prevention, and environmental safety. While deficiencies have persisted over time, some inspections noted corrective actions, but recent findings suggest ongoing challenges in fully addressing these areas.
