Nursing homes in Pawtucket, Rhode Island

What the local CMS data shows

Overall ratings among the listed facilities range from 1 to 5. The local median overall rating is 2.0 of 5, compared with 3.0 of 5 statewide. Median staffing is 4.0 of 5 locally versus 3.0 of 5 statewide, while the median health-inspection rating is 3.0 of 5 locally versus 3.0 of 5 statewide.

2 of 3 facilities have fines in the supplied enforcement data, and 2 have at least one citation classified by this site as severity G–L. These measures provide context but do not establish whether a facility is appropriate for a particular resident.

Ratings are out of five. Fines reflect records in the supplied CMS dataset, not a lifetime total.

Straight-line distance is not driving time. Confirm emergency capabilities and transportation arrangements directly.

How to choose a nursing home here

1. Open the full facility profiles. Review individual F-tags, survey dates, severity levels and correction information rather than relying on the overall rating alone.
2. Compare staffing in context. Look at nursing hours and turnover against Rhode Island and county medians.
3. Ask about current conditions. CMS data can lag changes in leadership, staffing, ownership and resident availability.
4. Visit more than once. Observe different shifts, meals, call-light response, cleanliness and resident interaction.
5. Plan for medical access. Ask how the facility handles urgent transfers, transportation and communication with nearby hospitals.
