Nursing Homes & Senior Care in Rhode Island
Rhode Island's Care Compare directory includes 73 CMS-certified nursing homes, each assigned an official Five-Star Quality rating by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The statewide average overall rating stands at 2.96 of 5 stars.
The directory provides a comprehensive view of facility quality across three dimensions: overall rating, health-inspection stars, and staffing stars. This multi-category breakdown allows for side-by-side comparison of Rhode Island's nursing homes.
The Five-Star rating system serves as a relative quality measure with recognized limitations. The ratings reflected here represent the May 2026 assessment and should not be interpreted as a recommendation or guarantee of care quality. These ratings function as one consideration among many factors that deserve evaluation when selecting a nursing home.
Location, the specific type of care required, an in-person visit, and direct conversations with facility staff and clinical personnel all play substantial roles in the decision-making process. Prospective residents and their families should verify each facility's current rating on its live Medicare Care Compare profile before making any decisions based on the data presented here.
How to read this. The star ratings here are official CMS Five-Star Quality figures, shown as the rating as of May2026 — a relative quality measure with documented limits, not a recommendation, guarantee, or medical/financial/legal advice. Always confirm the current rating and details on the facility’s live Medicare Care Compare profile, and involve the resident and their clinicians in any decision.

Informational only — not medical, financial, or legal advice. Senior Care by State reports official CMS Five-Star Quality data, which is a relative measure with documented limitations — not a recommendation or a guarantee that any facility is right for you. Choosing care is a personal medical and financial decision: confirm the current details with the facility directly, talk with the resident’s physician and care team, and verify ratings and coverage on Medicare.gov or with your state’s long-term-care or health agency before relying on anything here. For medical, financial, or legal questions, consult a qualified professional.
