About this facility
Southern New England Rehab Ctr is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in North Providence, Rhode Island, in Providence County. It has been Medicare-certified since October 1, 1989, and operates as a for-profit facility.

This differs from a nursing home, which generally provides longer-term, lower-intensity custodial or skilled care rather than intensive daily rehabilitation.
According to CMS Care Compare data, this facility's rate of discharging patients back to the community is Worse than the National Rate.

Its rate of Clostridium difficile (C. diff) healthcare-associated infections is No Different than the National Benchmark. Catheter-associated infection data was not included in the figures provided, and CMS may not publish measures when case counts are too low to report reliably; this does not indicate poor quality.
Overall, of the five measures CMS reports for comparison, this facility is rated worse than the national benchmark on 1 measure and better than the national benchmark on 0 measures, with the remainder showing no meaningful difference. Families are encouraged to review the full, current record on CMS Care Compare.
