Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Fall River
- Fall River is part of the larger metro area surrounding Providence, RI, and residents can take advantage of all the cultural and shopping opportunities in the capital city. Downtown Providence has been restored and is thriving, with a pleasant River Walk along the Providence River so seniors can enjoy a low-cost outing in a nearby city.
- Fall River has an array of community resources for seniors, including Bristol Elder Services, an organization that provides mobility assistance, counseling and other services, as well as four senior centers.

- Fall River shares its public transportation system, the Southeastern Regional Transit Authority, with nearby New Bedford, with buses connecting towns all along the South Coast of Massachusetts. Senior CharlieCards let those 65 and older take advantage of 70 cent fares.
