Overview of Mount St Rita Health Centre

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.

vs avg

3 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric LPN / LVN is +50% 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.	44m per day	▼ 5% 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.	44m per day	▲ 50% 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.	2h 29m per day	■ Avg 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 30m per day	▲ 6% 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.	1m per day	▼ 79% 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.	27m per day	▼ 22% State avg: 34m per day · National avg: 28m per day
