Data insights
Quality ratings
CMS's most recent Care Compare release (data as of April 2026) puts Harris Health Care Center North's overall quality rating at 5 out of 5 stars, a composite of three sub-ratings: health inspection (4/5), staffing (5/5), and quality measures (3/5).
What each sub-rating measures

The staffing rating compares case-mix-adjusted nurse hours per resident day to national benchmarks, and quality measures aggregate 15 clinical indicators including pressure ulcers, falls with injury, and long-stay antipsychotic use.
Size and setting
Located in Central Falls, Rhode Island, this facility operates 32 certified beds with an average daily census of roughly 29 residents - an occupancy rate of about 91%. The facility is classified under for profit - corporation ownership, a designation that can influence staffing patterns, reinvestment decisions, and admissions policy. With occupancy around 91%, bed usage here sits in the range typical of a stabilized facility.
Same-ownership peers
Within Rhode Island, Harris Health Care Center North is one of 33 for profit - corporation nursing homes CMS rates. Its 5-star overall rating sits above the for profit - corporation-segment average of 3.2 stars, ahead of roughly 70% of same-ownership peers in the state.

CMS has levied 1 enforcement penalty - civil money penalties or denials of payment, during the same window.

Where these figures come from
The figures above come directly from the U.S. Centers for Medicare \& Medicaid Services Nursing Home Compare dataset for federal quality ratings, combined with the CareScout 2025 Cost of Care Survey of more than 15,000 elder-care providers nationwide and U.S. Census American Community Survey income data. Cost figures are monthly medians, refreshed annually with each new CareScout release; quality ratings are refreshed quarterly from the CMS Provider Information File. Read these state and county medians as benchmarks, then verify current rates with individual providers and consult care managers before making placement decisions.
