Our read on Bethany Home Of Rhode Island

Bethany Home of Rhode Island runs a 33-bed nonprofit operation in Providence, and the staffing numbers are genuinely better than most: 4.84 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average. But two things undercut that. Weekend staffing drops about 16% below its own weekday level, so the care you'd get on a Saturday isn't the care described in the average. And turnover sits at 100%, every position turns over in a year, against a national rate near 46%. That churn, plus 19 deficiencies on the current record (one at harm level) and a $12,735 fine, explains why the inspection and quality ratings land mid-range despite the healthy staffing figure.
