What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)

Health inspection rating: ★★☆☆☆2/5 · CMS overall rating: 2/5

The health inspection star above is graded on a curve within each state — a set share of each state's facilities gets each star level — so a facility can have few citations and still rate 2–3 stars if others in its state did even better. The overall rating combines that inspection score with staffing and self-reported quality measures.

Most serious findings (actual harm or immediate jeopardy)

▲ Actual harm, one-off · Oct 21, 2024 · F-0600 · triggered by a complaint

The facility did not protect residents from abuse or neglect. This covers physical, mental, and sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect, by anyone — staff, other residents, or visitors.

Why it matters: Abuse and neglect cause direct physical and emotional harm and are among the most serious failures a nursing home can have.

Severity (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.

Corrected: Nov 13, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

▲ Actual harm, one-off · Nov 22, 2023 · F-0760 · triggered by a complaint

The facility did not keep residents free from significant medication errors — such as giving the wrong drug, the wrong dose, or missing a critical medication.

Why it matters: A serious medication error can cause real harm, hospitalization, or worse.

Severity (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.

Nurse staffing (from payroll records, adjusted for how much care residents need)

Measure	This facility	Rhode Island avg	U.S. avg	Where it stands
Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day)	2.37	3.88	3.95	bottom 1% in Rhode Island; bottom 2% in the U.S.
Registered Nurse hours	0.37	0.80	0.69	bottom 4% in Rhode Island; bottom 18% in the U.S.
Weekend total nurse staffing	2.15	3.48	3.50	bottom 1% in Rhode Island; bottom 3% in the U.S.
Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted)	0.37	0.55	0.48	bottom 25% in Rhode Island; bottom 46% in the U.S.
Total nursing staff turnover (%)	22.8	40.6	45.8	top 5% in Rhode Island; top 5% in the U.S.
RN turnover (%)	33.3	37.9	42.9	top 40% in Rhode Island; top 33% in the U.S.

Hours are per resident per day, case-mix adjusted by CMS so facilities caring for sicker residents can be compared fairly (same basis as the CMS staffing star). "Top X%" means better than most facilities: more staffing hours, or lower turnover. Raw (unadjusted) reported hours: total 3.06, RN 0.48, weekend 2.77. Staffing rating: 2/5.

Self-reported quality measures

Note: these ratings are based on data the facility reports about itself to CMS. They are not independently verified by inspectors, and can look better than inspection findings. Give more weight to the inspection results above.
