All 3 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Coventry,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Alpine Nursing Home runs about 60 beds in Coventry under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits right around the national mark, 3.80 nurse hours per resident day versus 3.86 nationally, though weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover lands at 42.9%, a touch better than the 45.8% national average. The inspection record shows 12 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with no abuse citations, and the most recent survey came in March 2025. A four-star inspection rating alongside that harm-level finding is worth asking about directly, since one deficiency at that severity matters more than the raw count suggests.
Riverview Healthcare Community runs 190 beds in Coventry under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.57 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop another 7% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 40.1%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, but the inspection record is where things get serious: 31 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, and one abuse-related, with $63,518 in fines across two penalties. The most recent inspection was April 2, 2026, and CMS rated health inspections and staffing 2 out of 5.
The nurse staffing number at this Coventry home looks fine on paper, 4.09 hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, but that average hides a weekend drop of roughly 9% from weekday levels, and it sits alongside a 71.8% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is the harder read: 69 deficiencies on file, 17 of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus two tied to abuse, and eight CMS fines totaling $370,011. Federal regulators have placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of poor care.
