Overview of Harris Health Care Center North

Harris Health Care Center North is a skilled nursing home in Central Falls, Rhode Island, on Eben Brown Lane in a really walkable neighborhood (Walk Score 84). Operated by owner Chad Harris, the facility maintains a small, focused community of 32 beds typically at about 94 percent occupancy.

The center is equipped for post-acute rehabilitation and longer-term nursing care, with specific programs in medical care, inhalation therapy, post-surgical rehabilitation, and restorative services. With a doctor on staff, the facility provides 24-hour nursing care, averaging 4 hours 8 minutes of total nursing care per resident day, including registered nurses, nurse aides, and other clinical support. Medicare and Medicaid are welcome, creating payment pathways for families with different coverage situations. Dining is handled formally with table service, full menu choices, tablecloths, and fresh flowers daily, mirroring a more home-like dining experience. Occupants can access recreational activities, religious services, and practical amenities like cable television, telephone service in each room, and a handicapped-accessible van for transportation. The very walkable neighborhood location makes it convenient for family visits on foot, and the small 32-bed size can offer residents a more intimate setting than larger communities.

Deficiencies across physician oversight, medication management practices, resident medical record completeness, privacy safeguards, infection control, and life safety compliance have been documented by state inspections. Such findings represent ongoing concerns that families should explore carefully during tours and discussions with staff to learn how the facility is addressing these zones.

Quality ratings

Measured by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)

Overall rating Info The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Health Inspection Info Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Staffing Info Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Quality Measures Info Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

vs avg

3 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric Weekend RN is +36% above state avg
Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info 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. 56m per day ▲ 23% State avg: 46m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info 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. 0m per day ▼ 100% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info 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. 1h 46m per day ▼ 28% State avg: 2h 28m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info 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. 2h 21m per day ▼ 29% State avg: 3h 18m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Info 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. 4m per day ▲ 33% State avg: 3m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Info 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. 46m per day ▲ 36% State avg: 34m per day · National avg: 28m per day
