The data for West Shore Health Center Inc shows high health inspection scores but below-average staffing hours and quality measure ratings compared to Rhode Island state benchmarks.
West Shore Health Center Inc presents a data profile characterized by strong health inspection results but significant challenges in staffing levels and clinical quality outcomes. Records indicate the facility maintains a health inspection rating of 4 out of 5 stars, which is higher than the Rhode Island state average of 2.9. However, the most recent inspection cycle documented six findings, an increase from four in the previous year. These findings included issues regarding the use of unnecessary psychotropic medications and laboratory service delays.
Staffing data reveals that residents receive approximately 3.08 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is roughly 17% lower than the state average of 3.72 hours. While the facility shows stability in leadership with zero administrator departures, there is a notable decrease in staffing during weekends, where total nursing care drops to 2.76 hours per resident per day. Furthermore, while the overall nursing turnover rate of 36% is lower than the state average, the registered nurse turnover rate of 47.6% indicates higher instability among the most highly trained bedside staff. Contract labor usage remains relatively low for certified nursing assistants at 6.5%, but over 20% of registered nurse hours are provided by external agency staff, which can impact continuity of care. Quality measures for both short-stay and long-stay residents remain at the bottom of the scale, contributing to the facility's overall 3-star rating.
Nursing staff turnover is 36%, which is lower than the Rhode Island state average of 40.4%, though registered nurse turnover is higher at 47.6%.
The facility provides 3.08 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which falls below the state average of 3.72 hours.
Short-stay and long-stay quality measures both received the lowest possible rating (1 and 2 stars respectively).
This shows how the facility's federal ratings have changed over the past 24 months. Consistent high ratings suggest stable quality, while declining trends may warrant further investigation.

Staffing depth is the strongest predictor of care quality. Facilities routinely cut staff on evenings and weekends — the shifts when falls happen and call lights go unanswered.
