Every Medicare-certified nursing home in Rhode Island, graded on inspections, staffing, turnover
and enforcement history.
6 homes in the state sit in the federal Special Focus programme.
Elmhurst Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center runs 206 beds in Providence under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers show strain. Nurse staffing sits at 3.59 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record carries 51 deficiencies, including 7 at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with four fines totaling $167,593; the most recent look came in January 2026, and CMS rated all three of its star categories at 2 out of 5. Staff turnover, at 42.8%, is actually slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, one of the few spots where this home doesn't lag.
The Friendly Home runs 126 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.66 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running roughly 12% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover is 51.9% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing that care are cycling through faster than usual. The inspection record is the harder part: 38 deficiencies, six of them at harm or jeopardy level, four fines totaling $107,709, and a one-star health inspection rating from CMS. No abuse citations appear on the current record, and the most recent inspection was December 2025.
Cedar Haven's Valley View in Woonsocket has one star for health inspections and sits in CMS's Special Focus Facility program, the short list of homes the government watches most closely. The record backs that up: 64 deficiencies, 13 of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, five tied to abuse, and six fines adding up to roughly $84,000. Staffing is thinner than most homes, at 2.82 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 17% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover actually looks better than average, 36.4% versus 45.8% nationally, so the problem isn't churn, it's simply not enough hands on the floor.
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.
Adviniacare Orchard in East Providence runs 166 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing picture is genuinely mixed. Total nurse hours come to 4.20 per resident day, about 9% above the national average, yet weekends drop roughly 16% below the home's own weekday coverage, and CMS rates staffing at just one star. Turnover sits at 20.2%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people who are there tend to stay. The trouble is compliance: 58 deficiencies on the current record, 11 of them at harm or jeopardy level, two abuse-related, and $103,744 in fines across five penalties. CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, and the most recent inspection was June 26, 2025.
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.
Greenville Operations runs 131 beds as a for-profit LLC, and its inspection record is the thing that stands out: 51 deficiencies, seven of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, and seven tied to abuse. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, and four fines total $336,776. Staffing is a mixed picture, 3.62 nurse hours per resident day trails the national average, weekends run thinner than weekdays, but turnover at 34.9% is actually better than the 45.8% typical elsewhere. The most recent inspection was March 2026, so the record is current. When a home's inspection rating sits at the bottom while its staffing holds up, the problem usually isn't how many people are on the floor, it's what happens when they're there.
Adviniacare Oakland Grove runs 178 beds in Woonsocket under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits about 10% under the national average at 3.49 nurse hours per resident day, with weekends dipping roughly 8% below its own weekday levels. Turnover is where it beats the pack, 36.5% against a national 45.8%, which matters, since consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines.
The inspection record is the harder read. Forty-three deficiencies are on file, six of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, seven tied to abuse. Four fines total $111,098, and the most recent inspection was November 25, 2025.
If you're considering this home, ask about weekend coverage and how they've addressed those harm-level findings.
Berkshire Place runs 220 certified beds in Providence under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing. At 3.47 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 10% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover runs 47%, slightly above the national figure, which means less continuity for residents who need consistent caregivers. The inspection record is heavier: 38 deficiencies, six at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and 11 fines totaling just under $60,000. Its last inspection was September 2025. All three CMS star categories land at 2 out of 5.
Adviniacare Summit Commons is a for-profit LLC with 165 certified beds, and its record shows why CMS placed it in the Special Focus Facility program. Inspectors have logged 63 deficiencies, ten of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, with five tied to abuse, plus eight fines totaling $395,990. The health inspection and quality measure ratings both sit at one star, though staffing earns four, and turnover at 33.6% actually beats the national 45.8%. Still, 3.46 nurse hours per resident day runs about 11% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 9% below the home's own weekday coverage. The most recent inspection was March 13, 2025.
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.
