Elmhurst Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center

50 Maude Street, Providence, RI 02908

Elmhurst Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center is rated 2 out of 5 overall by CMS, matching that low score across health inspections, staffing, and quality measures.

Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

100 Borden Street, Providence, RI 02903

4.0Concerns

Bethany Home of Rhode Island

111 South Angell Street, Providence, RI 02906

Bethany Home of Rhode Island shows a staffing paradox: Registered Nurse hours are more than double the national average, yet the facility loses all its nursing staff every year. However, residents are receiving sedative and sleep medications at a rate significantly above national averages, while their antipsychotic use is low, meaning residents may be medicated more heavily with drugs not tracked by federal ratings.
