Nursing Home Information for Consumers

Residents and their families using health care facilities in Rhode Island can be assured that the Department of Health has established the highest quality of care standards to ensure that facilities provide health care services in a clean and safe environment. The Office of Facilities Regulation operates a resident focused, responsive, uniform enforcement program in accordance with state licensing and federal certification standards.

Here you will find nursing home information for consumers. The Office's reports are technical in nature, therefore, they are sometimes difficult for consumers to interpret. In an effort to make survey results more available and understandable, the Office is using a new tool called the "Survey Performance Tool for Nursing Homes".

You can also find information on choosing a nursing home and a resource list for nursing home consumers.

The Office of Facilities Regulation wishes to thank the Massachusetts Department of Public Health for their help in developing the "Survey Performance Tool for Nursing Homes".
