Cherry Hill Manor in Johnston runs on 4.07 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, though weekends dip roughly 12% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 37.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The inspection record is clean where it counts: 13 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, no abuse citations, and one fine of $6,201. Its last inspection was January 2026, so the picture is current, and CMS rates it 5 stars for both health inspections and quality measures. Corporate for-profit ownership is the one thing to keep an eye on.

Evergreen House runs 160 certified beds in East Providence under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.92 hours per resident day, slightly above the national figure of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops roughly 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so families should ask how that gap gets managed. Annual turnover is 24.5%, well under the national 45.8%, which suggests less churn than most places. Inspectors were last on site in July 2025 and logged 21 deficiencies, none causing harm or jeopardy; two were abuse-related. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, come in at 4 out of 5.

Adviniacare Newport runs 114 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.35 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8 percent below its own weekday staffing, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. The tradeoff is retention: 26 percent annual turnover beats the 45.8 percent national figure, meaning the aides you meet are more likely to still be there next year. What pulls the record down is the inspection side, 41 deficiencies on file, including two at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $16,801 fine. The most recent inspection was December 19, 2025, so that picture is current. Quality measures score well; the compliance history is the concern.

Jeanne Jugan Residence runs on 5.93 nurse hours per resident per day, well above the 3.86 national average, and weekends barely dip from weekday coverage, about 5%. Its last inspection, in April 2026, turned up three deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, and the health inspection rating sits at the top of the scale. The quality measure rating is where it thins out, landing at 2 of 5, so the clinical numbers families often weigh don't match the staffing strength. As a nonprofit with 49 beds, it's small enough that nurse coverage translates directly to the floor. Ask what's driving the quality measures before you decide.

Grandview Center in Cumberland runs 72 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing picture is mixed. Total nurse coverage sits at 3.68 hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average, and weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday level, so care thins out when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 30% against a national average near 46%, meaning aides and nurses here stick around longer than at most homes. The inspection record shows 24 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in August 2025. Quality measures score well and inspections are solid; staffing is the number pulling the overall picture down.

Kent Regency Center runs 153 certified beds in Warwick under corporate ownership, and the numbers suggest a home that inspects well but runs lean on the floor. State surveyors gave it four stars for health inspections and quality measures, with 20 deficiencies on record and none rising to harm or jeopardy. Staffing tells a different story: 3.55 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average, and weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday pace. The encouraging piece is turnover at 28.8%, well under the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people who are there tend to stay. Its last inspection was September 2025.

Mount St Rita Health Centre runs about 3.99 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and its weekend staffing holds within roughly 8% of weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 39%, lower than the 45.8% national figure. The trouble is the inspection record: 27 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with five fines totaling $274,749. The most recent inspection was December 2025, so the findings are current. Stronger staffing and steadier retention are real positives here, but the harm-level citations and the fine total are what pull the overall picture down to a middling grade. Ask about the abuse-related deficiency and the plan to fix it.

Pawtucket Falls Healthcare Center runs 154 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its current inspection record carries 45 deficiencies, four at the harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, along with $241,130 in CMS fines across two actions. That inspection history is the sharpest fact here, and the most recent survey, from December 2024, is recent enough to treat as current. Staffing sits at 3.82 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 4% lighter than weekdays; turnover of 30.1% is notably better than the 45.8% national figure. Quality measures score well, but the abuse and harm findings are what a family should ask about directly.

Stillwater runs 3.45 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday staffing. That's the pattern worth asking about: coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit and when backup is hardest to arrange. Turnover sits at 36.9%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. The inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse. A March 2025 inspection is recent, and the 4-star health inspection rating with 3 stars each for staffing and quality measures reflects a home that's generally sound but not generously staffed.

Heritage Hills is a 100-bed for-profit home in Smithfield, and the split in its federal ratings tells the story. The quality measures look strong, but the health inspection side sits at the bottom of the scale, with 70 deficiencies on record, three of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and three tied to abuse. Nurse staffing runs slightly under the national average at 3.74 hours per resident day, thinner on weekends, though turnover at 39.8% is actually better than the 45.8% norm. A single fine of $8,827 and a September 2025 inspection round out the picture. The quality numbers and the inspection numbers don't agree, and you should ask which one matches what you see on a visit.

Elderwood of Scallop Shell runs 80 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.58 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86. That gap widens on weekends, when coverage drops about 13% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover of 55.9% means more than half the nursing staff leaves each year, against a national rate of 45.8%. The inspection record is where the real concern sits: 25 deficiencies, six of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and two fines totaling $89,882. The most recent inspection was November 2025, so that record is current.

Lakeside Nursing in North Kingstown runs a for-profit operation under a limited liability company, and the numbers show a home that inspects well but staffs thin. Nurse coverage sits at 3.20 hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 12 percent below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover at 40.8 percent is actually better than the 45.8 percent national figure, which matters for consistency of care. Inspections are recent, April 2025, with a 4-star health inspection rating, but the record carries 18 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $14,433 fine.

Adviniacare Waterview Villas runs 132 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.14 hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the 3.86 national average. Weekends drop about 6% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 38.4%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the problem isn't retention so much as raw hours on the floor. The inspection record is where it gets harder to ignore: 25 deficiencies, 5 serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and two fines totaling $99,003. A 2-out-of-5 inspection rating with a March 2026 survey date tells you regulators have found real problems here.

Morgan Health Center runs 120 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble shows up first. Nurses provide 3.75 hours of care per resident per day, a bit under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 17% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families are most likely to visit. Turnover sits at 43.8%, slightly better than the national figure, which is one small bright spot. The bigger concerns are 27 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $61,780. The most recent inspection was May 2025, so that record is current, not stale.

Westerly Health Center runs lean on nursing hours, 3.05 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends are thinner still, about 19% below its own weekday coverage. That gap is the main reason its staffing score sits low even though inspections and quality measures both come back strong. Turnover at 42.9% is slightly better than the national 45.8%, and the last inspection in April 2025 is recent. The record isn't spotless: 21 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a single $8,278 fine. For-profit LLC ownership. If your family member needs steady hands on weekends especially, ask how they cover those shifts.

Adviniacare Pawtucket Pleasant Rehab Center runs 129 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers are the main thing to know: 3.41 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, with weekends running about 9% thinner than weekdays. That thin weekend coverage matters because the current inspection record carries 36 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus two fines totaling $21,964. Turnover sits at 40.2%, actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the problem isn't retention so much as how many hands are scheduled. Its last inspection was August 2025, and the quality measure rating is stronger than the staffing picture.

Overlook Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 100 certified beds in Pascoag under for-profit LLC ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.71 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, worth knowing if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover of 40.7% actually beats the national rate, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around longer than at the typical home. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record: 23 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $10,358 fine, with the most recent inspection in May 2025.

Grand Islander Center runs 146 beds in Middletown under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are where I'd start. At 3.37 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 13% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 6% below its own weekday level, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 49.5% tops the national figure of 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses caring for your relative are cycling out at a faster clip than usual. The inspection record backs that up: 40 deficiencies on file, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and $33,150 in fines across two penalties. The last inspection was May 2025, so the picture is current.

Royal Of Westerly runs about 3.21 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 14% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 46.9%, right about where the national rate is, so that's not the story here, the thin weekday coverage is. The 4/5 inspection rating looks strong, but 19 deficiencies sit on the current record, one of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with a single fine of $8,647. Last inspection was February 2026. For a 66-bed for-profit partnership, the pattern is decent state survey results propped up by staffing hours that trail what most homes deliver.

Corporate-owned and for-profit, the home earns mid-range marks on health inspections and quality measures, while its staffing score is comparatively stronger despite the below-average hours.
