CMS (the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) is the federal agency that rates nursing home quality. Its Overall Rating runs from 1 to 5 stars, combining health inspections, staffing, and quality measures, with inspections weighted most heavily.
CMS (the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) is the federal agency that rates nursing home quality. Its Overall Rating runs from 1 to 5 stars, combining health inspections, staffing, and quality measures, with inspections weighted most heavily.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

This home is ranked 16th out of 56 homes in Rhode Island for nurse hours. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| 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 |
