The facility is recognized for its quality care and has received multiple awards from the American Health Care Association.
Grace Barker Nursing Center has served seniors in the East Bay communities of Rhode Island since 1966. It provides services such as short- and long-term care, respite care, and adult day care. The facility offers a comprehensive menu of elder services and living accommodations to meet a broad range of needs.
Apple Rehab Clipper is a rehabilitation facility that offers a variety of services including short-term rehab, long-term care, and memory care. The facility is dedicated to providing comprehensive rehabilitation programs tailored to individual needs. It aims to help residents regain independence and improve their quality of life.
Harris Health Care North is a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility located in East Providence, Rhode Island. It offers a full range of services including occupational, physical, and speech therapy, as well as daily social and recreational activities. The facility is known for its personalized care and commitment to quality healthcare.
Elderwood of Scallop Shell at Wakefield is a cozy community located in the Wakefield-Peace Dale area. It offers subacute rehabilitation, skilled nursing, and memory care services. The facility is nationally recognized for quality short-term rehabilitation services and provides a friendly, home-like atmosphere.
Mount St. Rita Health Centre is a 98-bed nonprofit nursing home in Cumberland, Rhode Island, providing long-term care, short-term rehabilitation, memory care, respite, palliative care, and hospice services to residents covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. The facility is operated by William Fleming and has served the Providence County area since 1971.
The facility holds a 3-star CMS overall rating. Quality Measures — tracking outcomes such as hospital readmissions, falls, and pressure ulcers — are 35.9% below the Rhode Island average and account for the facility’s overall standing. Staffing is a relative strength: total nurse staffing averages 4 hours and 33 minutes per resident per day, placing the facility 16th of 56 Rhode Island skilled nursing facilities.
The inspection record shows a meaningful volume of deficiencies. Over the four-year window covered by available reports, the facility averages 8.3 deficiencies per year — 144% above the Rhode Island average of 3.4. A 2021 complaint investigation substantiated an Immediate Jeopardy finding tied to inadequate supervision of a resident with suicidal ideation; the facility resolved the IJ within the same survey period, and no enforcement actions were recorded.
A 14-deficiency inspection in October 2023 included life safety code violations across multiple building systems; a follow-up in December 2023 confirmed full correction. The most recent standard inspection, in September 2024, cited 5 deficiencies covering wound care, medication management, and infection control; a November 2024 desk audit confirmed all corrections were in place.
Programs include Spiritual Care, Family Resources, and Activities and Events. The facility was recognized as the Best Nursing Home in Northern Rhode Island.
Mount St. Rita fits residents seeking long-term care, hospice, or palliative placement in a nonprofit community with an established clinical and chaplaincy infrastructure in Cumberland. However, families should review the facility’s history of higher deficiencies and prior Immediate Jeopardy findings before making a placement decision.
John Clarke Senior Living is a 60-bed nonprofit nursing home in Middletown, Rhode Island, operated by Joan Woods. Located half a mile from the city center in Newport County, the facility serves long-term residents and short-term patients through its Nursing Center, with memory care and respite care available.
Across inspections over the past several years, John Clarke has recorded 1.3 deficiencies per year — 62% below the Rhode Island average of 3.4. The most recent annual inspection in March 2024 cited two deficiencies related to catheter care and ice machine sanitation; both were corrected within weeks.
A 2022 complaint investigation was substantiated, with findings around care planning and pressure ulcer prevention for specific residents. No fines, Immediate Jeopardy findings, or license actions appear in the record. The facility holds a 4-star overall CMS rating, driven in part by a Health Inspection score nearly 50% above the Rhode Island average.
Nursing staffing averages 3 hours and 40 minutes per resident per day, modestly above the state average, with CNA staffing at 2 hours and 31 minutes — above both state and national benchmarks. The facility’s occupancy rate is 92%, meaningfully higher than Rhode Island’s average of 83.7%, indicating consistent demand and limited availability. The facility accepts Medicare and offers on-site rehabilitation services.
Amenities include an outdoor covered patio, bocce court, putting green, and on-site hair salon — supported by chaplain services and volunteer programming. The campus houses both a traditional Nursing Center and Senior Living Apartments, giving residents options across care levels.
John Clarke Senior Living fits older adults seeking long-term skilled nursing or memory care in a small, nonprofit-run community with a consistent compliance record and stable residential population in Middletown.
Briarcliffe Manor is a skilled nursing facility in Johnston, Rhode Island, offering short-term rehabilitation, memory care, and supportive independent living as part of the Briarcliffe Campus. The 122-bed facility is privately owned and operated by Geriatric Centers of North America Inc.
Across inspections since 2021, Briarcliffe Manor recorded 18 total deficiencies, 47% fewer than the Rhode Island average of 34. There were no fines, Immediate Jeopardy findings, or license actions. The most recent annual survey, conducted in February 2025, found no health deficiencies. Earlier substantiated complaints involved MRSA infection-control failures and food-service issues; both were corrected and confirmed during follow-up.
The facility holds a 5-star CMS overall rating, driven in large part by its Health Inspection score, which ranks 87.3% above the Rhode Island average. Total nurse staffing averages 5 hours and 6 minutes per resident per day, 25% above the Rhode Island mean of 4 hours and 6 minutes, placing Briarcliffe 5th among 56 Rhode Island skilled nursing facilities. Physical therapist staffing is double the state average, reflecting the facility’s rehabilitation orientation.
The facility provides occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, respiratory therapy, and dedicated dietary support.
The occupancy rate is 91%, above the Rhode Island average of 83.7%, and it accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. For short-stay residents, 75.6% leave at or above the expected level of self-care, which is 41% higher than the state figure. Rehospitalization rates are 19.3%, compared with a state rate of 25.1%.
The facility’s rehabilitation depth and memory care capacity fit residents pursuing post-acute recovery or those requiring structured dementia programming in Providence County.
The Dawn Hill Home for Rehab and Healthcare is located in the Colt State area of historic Bristol, RI. It has been caring for residents in the East Bay area for over 20 years. The facility offers a range of services including rehabilitative care, long-term care, and a secured dementia unit.
