Long associated with any kind of senior community, the term “nursing home” is now antiquated, especially as more seniors seek care and a more individualized experience has become the expectation. A nursing home, or what is now referred to as a “skilled nursing community,” requires a higher level of care services, such as around-the-clock monitoring and expanded rehabilitation.

Assisted living, primarily, assists with Activities of Daily Living, such as bathing, dressing, and grooming, in addition to medication management. Assisted living residents receive daily activity programming and dining services.

Specialized memory care has become an important option for families of someone with Alzheimer’s or another type of dementia. As we work within the framework of each resident’s condition, today’s memory care communities are both active and lively.

Our community provides a comprehensive continuum of support right here in Rhode Island. We offer assisted living and specialized memory care, alongside short-term respite care services for older adults recovering from a medical procedure or those looking to experience community life before moving in.

Affording senior living depends heavily on individual situations. Sometimes, narrowing in on expenses can give you insight into how much is being spent and how much it would cost to bring in care from a third-party provider.

How much is being spent on food, utilities, home health services, and even the cost of family members missing work to provide transportation to doctor appointments? Visit our Financing Care page for more information or contact our team for assistance with understanding what is affordable.

We use a Resident Life Story to understand habits, joys, and preferences before someone even moves in. From a favorite beverage to lifelong passions, we build the day around the individual.

We customize a care plan by working with families, residents, and providers to support daily needs. We also encourage residents to get involved in community life with opportunities to lead clubs and make suggestions to the culinary team.

The Dining Experience is a signature program that celebrates great food and togetherness. Included in rent are three chef-prepared meals a day.

Enjoy restaurant-style meals that celebrate comforting flavors. We offer flexible dining options and host special monthly culinary events that inspire our dining services team to whip up something special for residents.

We encourage family engagement through social gatherings, educational workshops, and regular communication.

Family is always a vital part of community life, and we always welcome visits. Our community also welcomes volunteers to lead an activity or share a passion with our residents.
