6 homes in the state sit in the federal Special Focus programme.
Overlook Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 100 certified beds in Pascoag under for-profit LLC ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.71 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, worth knowing if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover of 40.7% actually beats the national rate, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around longer than at the typical home. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record: 23 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $10,358 fine, with the most recent inspection in May 2025.
The Scandinavian Home in Cranston runs on a curious split: inspectors found no harm-level problems across 13 deficiencies at its most recent survey in November 2024, and the government's inspection rating comes in at the top of the scale. But staffing sits at the bottom, 1 out of 5 stars, which tells you the building isn't putting enough direct care hours per resident relative to what CMS expects. The deficiencies are mostly paperwork and process issues, not residents getting hurt, that matters. Still, low staffing in a 74-bed nonprofit means call bells get answered slower and hands are stretched thinner, especially on nights and weekends. Ask about actual aide-to-resident ratios by shift before you decide.
Kingston Center earned top marks on its last health inspection, which happened in January 2025, inspectors found nine deficiencies, none of them serious enough to cause harm, though one was abuse-related. The bigger issue is staffing, where it lands at the bottom of the federal scale. That gap matters more than it sounds: a home can pass inspection on any given day and still struggle to keep enough hands on deck night after night, which is when problems tend to surface. With 55 beds and corporate ownership, this is a small for-profit where the clinical record looks better than the day-to-day coverage does. Ask pointed questions about nurse aide turnover and weekend staffing before deciding.
Grand Islander Center runs 146 beds in Middletown under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are where I'd start. At 3.37 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 13% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 6% below its own weekday level, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 49.5% tops the national figure of 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses caring for your relative are cycling out at a faster clip than usual.
The inspection record backs that up: 40 deficiencies on file, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and $33,150 in fines across two penalties. The last inspection was May 2025, so the picture is current.
Royal Of Westerly runs about 3.21 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 14% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 46.9%, right about where the national rate is, so that's not the story here, the thin weekday coverage is. The 4/5 inspection rating looks strong, but 19 deficiencies sit on the current record, one of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with a single fine of $8,647. Last inspection was February 2026. For a 66-bed for-profit partnership, the pattern is decent state survey results propped up by staffing hours that trail what most homes deliver.
Cedar Haven Operations runs Lake Forrest Health in Smithfield as a for-profit, individually owned home with 133 certified beds. The staffing numbers look decent on paper, 3.26 nurse hours per resident day, but that's still about 16% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 9% thinner than weekdays. The real problem sits in the inspection record: 44 deficiencies, six of them serious enough to put residents at harm or jeopardy, and three tied to abuse. Three fines total $112,473. Turnover runs 46.9%, slightly worse than the already-high national rate. With the most recent inspection in January 2026, families should ask hard questions about what's changed since.
Apple Rehab Clipper runs 60 beds in Westerly, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.16 hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 8% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover runs 42%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure, but the inspection record carries 25 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, along with two fines totaling $238,831. The most recent inspection was in May 2025. Corporate-owned and for-profit, the home earns mid-range marks on health inspections and quality measures, while its staffing score is comparatively stronger despite the below-average hours.
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.
Lincolnwood Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center is a for-profit, LLC-owned home with 200 beds in North Providence. Its staffing sits around 3.39 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent under the national average, and weekends run about 11 percent thinner than its own weekdays, so coverage dips exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the harder problem: 52 deficiencies, eight of them at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, and six fines totaling $70,731. Turnover at 35.1 percent actually beats the national 45.8 percent, so the issue isn't retention so much as raw hours on the floor and a survey history that keeps repeating.
Mansion Nursing and Rehab Center runs on 3.06 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 21% under the national average of 3.86, that gap is the main thing to weigh here. Weekend coverage slips about 4% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts land when oversight is lightest. Turnover sits at 43.6%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, and a July 2025 inspection found 27 deficiencies with none at harm level, though one is abuse-related. The four-star inspection rating reflects a recent, mostly clean survey; the two-star quality measure rating is the weaker signal on resident outcomes.
Silver Creek runs 128 certified beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.39 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86, with weekend coverage dropping about 9% below its own weekday level, so care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the heavier problem: 29 deficiencies, 8 of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy and 3 tied to abuse, plus five fines totaling $216,258. Turnover at 39.3% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, but that's the lone bright spot. The most recent inspection was January 23, 2026.
Dawn Hill runs 133 certified beds in Bristol under for-profit limited liability ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing. At 3.70 nurse hours per resident day, it sits just under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 17% below its own weekday coverage, meaning the stretches with the least supervision are also the thinnest. Annual turnover hits 50%, above the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing that care keep changing.
The inspection record carries 32 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $33,765. The most recent inspection was December 19, 2024, so the picture is current. Ask about weekend staffing and how abuse-related findings were resolved.
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.
Adviniacare Providence Dodge runs 161 beds and gives each resident about 3.06 nursing hours a day, roughly a fifth below the national average, with weekends staffed about 9% thinner than weekdays. That thin coverage sits alongside 33 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm level and four tied to abuse, plus $58,559 in fines from two cases. What keeps the picture from being uniformly grim is a 22.8% turnover rate, half the national figure, and a 4/5 quality measure score, suggesting the staff who stay do good work. The last inspection was August 2025.
South Kingstown Nursing & Rehab Center runs 112 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.58 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 9% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 12 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, two tied to abuse, plus one fine of $14,069. That current record earned a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating from CMS, with quality measures also at 2. Last inspection was February 2025. Staff turnover, at 43.2%, actually runs slightly below the national rate.
Bayview Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center runs 120 beds in North Kingstown under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.29 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 50.5%, above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is where things get serious: 32 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $52,785. A recent September 2025 inspection means the findings are current, not stale. Quality measures score well, but staffing and inspection history carry more weight when you're choosing care for someone you love.
Bayberry Commons runs 110 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.49 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends run about 12% thinner than weekdays, so coverage dips when families tend to visit. The current inspection record carries 20 deficiencies, three serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus $51,948 in fines across three penalties. Staff turnover, at 45.6%, is essentially the national norm, and the last inspection was July 2025. Quality measures score 1 out of 5 stars.
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.
Crystal Lake Rehabilitation And Care Center runs 71 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers around it deserve a close look. Nurse staffing sits at 3.58 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13% below the home's own weekday levels, meaning care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 57.6% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents are cycling through fast. The inspection record is the hardest part: 60 deficiencies, 8 at harm or jeopardy level, 2 abuse-related, and 15 fines totaling $306,656, with the most recent inspection in April 2025.
Nurse staffing at Royal Middletown runs 3.21 hours per resident day, about 17% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 8% below the home's own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 62.5% against a national average of 45.8%, so the people providing care change often. The current inspection record carries 26 deficiencies, four tied to abuse and two serious enough to put residents in harm's way, along with one fine of $30,590. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, land at 2 out of 5. This for-profit partnership was last inspected on April 30, 2026, and its record is thin where it matters most.
