Our read on Saint Elizabeth Home East Greenwich

Saint Elizabeth Home in East Greenwich runs a nonprofit operation with 168 beds, and its nurse staffing is genuinely strong, 4.92 hours per resident day, about 27% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips roughly 9% below its own weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. Turnover sits at 37.8%, better than the 45.8% national figure. The trouble is the inspection record: 22 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 5 abuse-related, with two fines totaling $64,230. That combination, good staffing, weak inspection history, is worth asking the administrator about directly before you decide.
