These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
Medicare Special Focus status indicates a history of serious quality problems and heightened oversight. Review the latest inspection records, ask what corrective actions remain open, and visit in person before deciding.
Respiratory and Rehabilitation Center of Rhode Island receives high praise for its dedicated nursing and therapy staff, particularly for their compassionate care during the pandemic and successful rehabilitation outcomes. However, a significant number of recent reviews highlight recurring issues with chronic understaffing, poor food quality, and inconsistent cleanliness. Families should be aware that while many report excellent experiences, others express frustration with response times and basic care standards.

Key Review Excerpts
“The entire staff at this facility was always very helpful and understanding. The CNAs, nurses, doctors and therapists work extremely hard to help all patients while many times being short staffed.”
“The facility was horribly short staffed, so the nurses and CNA's work very hard and it is often a long wait to get care such as an answer to a cell light. I was there for 8 days and my bathroom was only cleaned once.”
Total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark, though RN coverage meets its reference level. Ask how aides are staffed for daily tasks such as bathing and mobility.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

Original nursing home datasets
EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
