All 6 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Warwick,
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.
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.
Avalon Nursing Home is a small for-profit operation in Warwick, just 31 beds, and its staffing rating sits at the bottom of the federal scale, which tells you the people working there are stretched thin relative to what CMS expects. The inspection record backs that up: 27 deficiencies, including one at the level where a resident was actually harmed or put in immediate jeopardy, plus four tied to abuse. The last full inspection was in May 2025, so the picture is fairly current. Quality measures land below average too. For a family weighing this home, the staffing number and those abuse-related findings are the two things worth asking administrators about directly before making any decision.
West Shore Health Center runs on thin nurse staffing for a 145-bed building, 3.07 hours per resident day, roughly 20 percent under the national average, and weekends drop another 11 percent below its own weekday levels. That's the number I'd ask about first, because it's the one residents feel. The good news sits in retention: 29.4 percent turnover is well below the 45.8 percent national figure, so the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. Its last inspection was June 2025 and turned up 13 deficiencies, none at the harm level, though one was abuse-related. Corporate-owned and for-profit, with steady survey results but staffing that never quite reaches average.
Brentwood Health Center runs 96 certified beds in Warwick under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 3.52 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday staffing, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. On inspections, the record shows 35 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating and a 2-out-of-5 quality measure rating. The last inspection was July 25, 2025, so the findings are recent rather than stale. Ask about the abuse citation and weekend coverage before deciding.
Sunny View runs a 57-bed for-profit home in Warwick, and the numbers worth your attention are the staffing and the inspection record. Nurse coverage sits at 3.66 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 6% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bigger signal: 69.9% of staff leaving annually against a national 45.8% means caregivers rarely stay long enough to know your relative.
The current record carries 30 deficiencies, five serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy and one tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $90,716. The last inspection was April 30, 2026. Ask what's changed since.
Greenwood Center is a 130-bed for-profit home in Warwick, and the numbers that stand out are the inspection ones. It has 41 deficiencies on its current record, seven of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and two tied to abuse. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of poor inspections, and the fines total $225,416 across four penalties. Nurse staffing runs 3.34 hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average, with weekends about 4% thinner than weekdays. Turnover at 42.4% is slightly better than average, but that's the one bright spot in an otherwise difficult record.
