East Providence Nursing Homes

East Providence has eight skilled nursing homes. Medicare rates seven of them, with an average score of 3.6 stars out of five. The best-rated home here has five stars, and five others score four stars or higher. Two homes have ratings of two stars or lower. This mix means families should check specific facilities' scores carefully, as quality varies significantly within the city.

Staffing averages 4.1 hours per resident daily, but only 0.9 hours come from a registered nurse. Annual nursing staff turnover is 30%, meaning nurses change jobs frequently. These numbers suggest care may be inconsistent, especially during shifts with less experienced staff. Low RN hours and high turnover often correlate with higher resident concerns in federal data.

Rhode Island's statewide average annual cost for a shared room is $91,250. East Providence homes average 83% occupancy. While most facilities here rate four stars or better, the two lower-rated homes indicate some need improvement. Families should compare individual facility scores and consider neighboring towns if seeking consistently higher-rated care.
