Overview of Briarcliffe Manor

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.

vs avg

2 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric Physical Therapist is +103% above state avg

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.	43m per day	▼ 6% State avg: 46m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.	31m per day	▲ 8% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.	3h 11m per day	▲ 29% State avg: 2h 28m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	3h 57m per day	▲ 20% State avg: 3h 18m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	6m per day	▲ 103% State avg: 3m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.	33m per day	▼ 3% State avg: 34m per day · National avg: 28m per day
