Nursing homes across Kent County, Rhode Island, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The staffing numbers at West View look decent on paper, 3.94 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, but that average hides a problem: weekend coverage drops roughly 9% below weekday levels, and annual turnover runs 59% against a national 45.8%. Consistent hands matter more than the headline figure, and here they aren't staying. The inspection record is the harder read: 26 deficiencies, 8 of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus 2 abuse-related findings and $130,764 in fines across 5 penalties. A 1-star health inspection and 1-star quality measure rating, with the most recent inspection just weeks old, tells you regulators keep finding the same problems in a for-profit limited liability operation.
