Nursing Homes & Senior Care in Rhode Island
Rhode Island is home to 73 nursing homes certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and listed in the Care Compare directory. Each facility receives an official Five-Star Quality rating from CMS. Across the state, the average overall rating stands at 2.96 out of 5 stars.
The Five-Star rating system is a relative quality measure with recognized limitations. The ratings reflected here represent data current as of May 2026 and should not be construed as a recommendation or guarantee of care quality. The system provides one metric among many factors that merit consideration when evaluating a nursing home. Location, the specific type and level of care required, an in-person visit, and direct conversations with facility staff and clinical leadership all play important 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 decisions based on this data.
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.
