Berkshire Place
Inspection Results
Berkshire Place has been cited for a total of 142 deficiencies since we began saving each survey. We believe it is worthwhile to show how things are and were. Some improve and some get worse. Rather than a snapshot, we take s longer view than most. A longer view, we believe, paints a better and more worthwhile picture. We start from them most recent and go back as you scroll down.
Tip: Surveys happen throughout the year and you may want to check with the location or here to see if more recent data is available for Berkshire Place.
Since we bagan longer term (multi year tracking, numbers will naturally be higher than 3 (or so surverys).
There are 75 nursing homes in Rhode Island with a total of 3,769 deficiencies resulting in an average of 50.25 deficiencies per nursing home.
