About this facility
Rehabilitation Hospital Of Rhode Island is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in North Smithfield, Providence County, Rhode Island. It has been Medicare-certified since January 4, 1994, and operates as a for-profit facility. Inpatient rehabilitation facilities provide intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically several hours a day of physical, occupational, and other rehabilitative services — to help patients regain function after a stroke, surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home. This differs from a nursing home, which generally offers a lower intensity of daily therapy over a longer stay.

Readmission measures, both during the rehab stay and after discharge, 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 measures — meaning its reported results are generally in line with national performance across the board. Some measures, such as catheter-associated infection rates, are not included in the provided data; when a measure is not reported, CMS has not published a figure for it, often due to low case counts, and this should not be read as an indicator of poor quality.
