About this facility
Kent County Memorial Hospital is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Warwick, Kent County, Rhode Island. IRFs provide intensive, hospital-level rehabilitation therapy — typically several hours a day — to help patients regain physical function and independence after a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home rather than remaining in a longer-term care setting like a nursing home. This facility has been Medicare-certified since October 1, 1996, and operates under for-profit ownership.
According to CMS Care Compare data, patients discharged from this facility return to the community at a rate that is 'No Different than the National Rate.' Readmission rates — both the rate of potentially preventable readmissions after discharge and during the rehab stay itself — are also reported as 'No Different than the National Rate.' The healthcare-associated infection measure for C. diff is reported as 'No Different than the National Benchmark.'
Overall, CMS rates this facility better than the national benchmark on 0 of 5 reported measures, and worse than the national benchmark on 0 of 5 reported measures — meaning its reported performance is generally in line with national norms rather than notably better or worse. Where a measure is not reported here, such as catheter-associated infections, CMS has not published that figure, which often reflects low case counts rather than a quality concern. This summary reflects CMS Care Compare data as made available for this facility.
