The 10 Best Nursing Homes in Warwick, RI for 2024

Warwick, the third-largest city in the small state of Rhode Island, lies approximately 12 miles south of the state capital Providence. Warwick is home to 83,011 people as of the 2020 U.S. Census. Just over one-fifth of that population is 65 years of age or older. Two respected medical facilities, Miriam Hospital and Rhode Island Hospital, are located roughly 20 minutes away in Providence; Miriam is ranked as the top hospital in Rhode Island by U.S. News and World Report with RIH taking second place.

Nursing home care is primarily intended for older seniors who need regular medical attention and consistent health monitoring. Since this requires 24/7 support from a team of medical professionals, it’s almost always more expensive than other types of long-term care. In Warwick, a semiprivate room in a nursing home costs $10,190 per month, which is over a thousand dollars more expensive than the U.S. average for such care. If feasible, choosing home health care or assisted living instead can provide significant savings.

This guide compares the costs of nursing homes and other types of long-term care in Warwick and nearby New England cities in addition to highlighting some local resources that support Warwick’s senior population.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Warwick, RI

Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.

  • Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
  • Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
  • Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including skilled nursing care.

If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
