The Best Assisted Living Communities in Newport County, RI

"I visited Clifton Assisted Living last week to look at their assisted living. The tour was fine. It was a nice, small community that was very well-kept. I can't comment on the type of care the residents receive, but the place looks very appealing. It was very clean and organized. The staff I met was also fine."

"My mom moved to All American Assisted Living at Warwick, and it's nice that everything is planned for memory care. We're having good feedback from the staff. They were very attentive and didn't have a large turnaround of staff. It's the same people staying there. My mom said the food was very good. They do all sorts of in-house activities and also go out. The rooms are very good size."

"My father-in-law is now at Atria Bay Spring Village. The place is well taken care of and easy to maneuver. The staff members all seem very nice. The dining area is clean, and the food is delicious. There are lots of different games, they play bingo, they have different exercise classes, and they do the rosary. They do a good job with the activities."

"Everything is definitely focused towards the residents at Greenwich Farms at Warwick. I'm very satisfied with this place. The facility and rooms are nice. The people are excellent. She actually decided on a double room because she likes someone to be there to talk to. It was quiet and peaceful and has a nice wooded view. There's wellness activities like exercise groups and arts and crafts. It's enough of a variety that I don't think the residents will get bored. I've eaten there, the food is wonderful. It seemed like they really took that extra staff to take care of her. "

"I visited The Phyllis Siperstein Tamarisk RI Assisted Living Residence. I chose it for myself and my wife because it's closer to where I live. Also, I know people who have gone there. It's a beautiful place. The entire place is beautiful. It's clean and has no old person smell. The food is good. They have a gym and a library, but I haven't visited all the areas yet. The staff has been excellent. The building itself is spectacular, and it is organized."

"They did everything they could to get my mother in there. Unfortunately, she deteriorated and was not able to go. I visited on three occasions. Everyone was very nice, very accommodating, and very friendly. It's a lovely facility, and the accommodations were very nice. Literally from walking into the lobby and sitting and waiting for my appointment, everyone was just friendly, kind, and welcoming -- from the people who lived there, to the people who were visiting, to the staff. They had a little café where people can get donuts, coffee, and pastries and play on the computers. It was just a nice atmosphere. The people were more than willing to answer questions and do anything they could to try and make this work. My mother needed a first floor apartment -- they had one left, and they were more than willing to reserve it for me until she was ready. Everybody from the director down to the sales person to the nurses was very nice. The rooms were small, but more than sufficient for what someone in that situation would need. It was comfortable and homey -- a nice personal place for someone -- but with plenty of outside areas where they can go to activities, socialize with people, and not feel that they have to be trapped in a room. There's enough room for them to move around and have their own space if they need to stay in their room for whatever reason. There is a variety of sizes of rooms as well -- everything from a studio up to two bedrooms. There's nothing I can complain about Brookdale Centre of New England (Formerly New England Bay Retirement Living). "

"We chose Anchor Bay at East Providence for my dad because it is twenty minutes away from my house. Before, he was three-and-a-half hours away, and we're the closest relatives, so it was hard going down there, especially during COVID when we couldn't see him for the whole year. It's assisted living, and then they also have memory care, but he is in assisted living right now at level three. I just moved him in there yesterday, but overall, I'm happy with it right now. During my in-person visit, they were very good, and they were very nice. I talked to the sales and marketing rep there. I met a lot of people as we went through but because of COVID, not a lot of people were out in the halls. It seems like a nice place, and the rooms are bigger. My dad is in a studio apartment. The staff seems fine, and they all seem very nice. They are eating in the dining room but only one person to a table. The place is very clean, nice, and open, and I think it is better than where he came from. Now that his physical body has declined a lot, he is better on the ground floor. We actually picked this place because the studio was on the ground floor, and he could get to places easier and not be out of the way."

"Thank you to the Cottages for making my mother feel welcome.It has been hatd for everyone with the pandemic. The staff is wonderful and caring.There is always activities going on now.My mother seems to be adjusting.The staff works well with families. Thank you so much Leslie Stykowski "

"My sister was there a few weeks recuperating from a fall at home. Everyone there were so passionate and caring. She had a beautiful room , she enjoyed all the meals that were served and had many social activities to join in if she was interested. She was very happy there and we were so relieved to have her being taken care of until she felt better to return home. "

"We chose Whalers Cove because of proximity, cost, and everything in it. My mother loves the food and she's got a very nice apartment. The place is huge. There are different areas where she can go without even having to leave the building, like a little garden and a good view inside. She's very pleased there. At this point, she's been very well taken care of and they've been great to the family, so I can't really complain about anything. "

"Someone gave me a call and set up an appointment to Atria for me to go there and tour the place. The staff was very cordial, good and inviting. The rooms weren't bad at all. It seemed more like a hotel/motel type building. I saw the list of activities that they had and they kept the residents occupied with activities. "

"I went to see Wingate Residences on Blackstone Boulevard. It was a big high-rise building, so it was tough to get from place to place in the building. It was very big but it had everything. My biggest problem with this place was that it was pricey. The staff was great, they were wonderful. They had everything you can imagine there and more, they had a salon, they had a gym, they had massages, and they had all kinds of stuff. In terms of location, everything is there."

"Mom had her respite care at Capitol Ridge, and it was very nice. I liked it because everyone was very friendly, and it was beautiful. The staff was also very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The room that she was in was very nice. It had its own bathroom and kitchenette. I ate there and the food was great. They had activities like knitting, shopping, and they had a piano player that came in. It was in a nice neighborhood. It really was a nice place. "

"My brother-in-law has moved into The Highlands on the East Side. It's very good. We liked it because it was the most affordable. We also liked it because it was nice and small. He has trouble walking, so it was nice and easy for him to navigate. Upkeep and maintenance seem fine so far. The staff has been very good. They have community areas and a dining area. It's not as fancy as the others, but perfectly adequate for his needs. He participates in the activities. He's very social, so that works out well. He's been doing Jeopardy, some of the game shows, bingo, and things like that, nothing very strenuous. It's not the highest-end place ever, but it fits his needs. We're happy with that. The food is OK."
