What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★☆☆☆☆1/5 · CMS overall rating: 1/5
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)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Aug 5, 2025 · 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 (J): Inspectors found a situation that put a resident's life or safety in immediate danger, affecting one or a few residents. The facility must fix it immediately — these citations often come with large fines.
Corrected: Aug 6, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, repeated · Mar 3, 2025 · F-0584 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not provide a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment, including safe support for residents' daily living needs.
Why it matters: An unsafe or unclean environment affects residents' health, comfort, and dignity every single day.
Severity (K): A life-threatening or extremely dangerous situation affected several residents. Among the most serious findings an inspection can produce.
Corrected: Apr 2, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Nov 20, 2024 · F-0689 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not keep the environment free of accident hazards, or did not provide enough supervision to prevent accidents like falls.
Why it matters: This is one of the most common citations and directly relates to falls and injuries, which can be devastating for older adults.
Severity (J): Inspectors found a situation that put a resident's life or safety in immediate danger, affecting one or a few residents. The facility must fix it immediately — these citations often come with large fines.
Corrected: Nov 29, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Dec 26, 2023 · F-0689 · triggered by a complaint

Why it matters: This is one of the most common citations and directly relates to falls and injuries, which can be devastating for older adults.
Severity (J): Inspectors found a situation that put a resident's life or safety in immediate danger, affecting one or a few residents. The facility must fix it immediately — these citations often come with large fines.
Corrected: Jan 9, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Mar 15, 2024 · F-0686 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not provide proper care for pressure ulcers (bedsores) or did not do enough to prevent new ones from forming. Bedsores develop when residents stay in one position too long without help moving.
Why it matters: Bedsores are painful, can become deeply infected, and in serious cases can be life-threatening.
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: Apr 14, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Mar 15, 2024 · F-0692 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not provide enough food and fluids to keep residents healthy, such as preventing unplanned weight loss or dehydration.
Why it matters: Malnutrition and dehydration can quickly weaken a resident and lead to serious complications.
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: Apr 14, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Mar 15, 2024 · F-0697
The facility did not provide safe and appropriate pain management for a resident who needed it.
Why it matters: Untreated pain causes needless suffering and can lead to depression, poor sleep, and declining health.
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: Apr 14, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

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) | 3.53 | 3.88 | 3.95 | bottom 41% in Rhode Island; bottom 38% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.57 | 0.80 | 0.69 | bottom 22% in Rhode Island; bottom 48% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 2.92 | 3.48 | 3.50 | bottom 20% in Rhode Island; bottom 27% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.32 | 0.55 | 0.48 | bottom 13% in Rhode Island; bottom 37% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 36.4 | 40.6 | 45.8 | top 34% in Rhode Island; top 27% 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 2.82, RN 0.45, weekend 2.33. Staffing rating: 3/5.
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.
