Assisted Living Communities in Providence, RI

"I visited Anchor Bay at East Providence. The layout of the building, the rooms, the setup of the dining rooms, and the halls seemed very, very appropriate, and I liked that very much. I realized they have a lot of people to take care of, but it's very good. It was just about what I would expect for a place like that. It was very nice and very clean. They have a game room. At the time we went in, there was a whole room of people in chairs doing chair exercises and a room where they were sitting down, talking, and stuff of that nature. They had the regular dining. It was a combination of a place where they could eat if they wanted to, or they'd spend the day there just sitting at tables in groups. There were two to three at a table. They had a beauty parlor. The dining area had a setup to prepare meals, to warm them up, and stuff like that, so you could be guaranteed that you'd have a nice warm meal if it required it. They've brought them from the kitchen up there, and then they serve them to the people. The staff was very, very knowledgeable about the place and very accommodating. He didn't go much into the details of the finances, which I was interested in, but everything else, he was perfect. The facility was very good, very clean, and very nice."

"I toured Atria Bay Spring Village and liked everything, like the dining hall. I liked the fact that there were other amenities inside the building. They had exercise classes close to the bike path. It's very clean. The floorplans were very nice. They're roomy enough, and the bathrooms were very good."

"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."

"I visited Smithfield Woods Senior Living and toured their assisted living facility for my friend. I like the sense of community and friendliness there. The staff members were extremely knowledgeable and very patient in answering my multitude of questions. The rooms, even though my friend will be having the smaller-sized room, are adequate. It's enough to fit a little seating area plus the bed, has a kitchenette, and the bathroom is a nice big size. I'm very pleased with it."

"I visited Halcyon at West Bay and toured their assisted living for my husband. The people were very nice, kind, and polite. They gave me a complete tour and answered any questions I had. I like the facility. It was very clean and well taken care of. It was just a pleasant experience. I looked at a 1-bedroom, and it looked like there was enough space. It didn't feel crowded and cramped."

"Apartments are oversized. Decorated nicely. Food is delicious."

"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."

"The tour I had at Brookdale Attleboro was great. The staff was really friendly. We met someone at reception. She met us right away then she introduced us to Karen, the director of admissions. We got a tour of the common areas and I thought they were beautiful. I was very, very impressed with everything, including the landscaping outside the building and when you first walked into the entrance (the reception area). I thought the dining room was beautiful. They showed us another room where families could kind of gather and everything about it was very nice. If that was within our budget, I would have been very happy to send my dad there. I think that would have been my first choice. We talked to Karen for about 45 minutes and even after she found out that that was not going to be an option for us, she still just gave us so much more information to help us make a good decision for my dad that was so helpful. We got a lot of invaluable information from her. So I appreciated that. They offered coffee and water when we walked in, which I thought was very nice, but we declined."

"The staff at Brookdale Centre of New England was empathic, very nice, very professional, and very friendly. The rooms were simple and adequate. It had everything that you would pretty much need. There's absolutely a nice courtyard view. The grounds were fantastic. The courtyard was nice and seemed very open. They allow birds, and they have birdfeeders out. It was wonderful. There were grills out there and tables with umbrellas. Everything was nice. The dining area looked like a beautiful lodge. The food is homemade for the most part. The residents were socializing. I saw them with their class. They have a kitchen where they have cooking courses. I saw people getting their hair done in their private little spa."

"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 into All American Assisted Living at Wrentham. I chose it because it was like the first one I went to, it was close to my house, and it was very clean. Everybody there is awesome. My mother has not complained about the food. She eats every meal. There's a lot of activities. They give a flier every day and they do them all day long. They do exercises, bingo, bowling, arts and crafts, and puzzles. They play games, like a Jeopardy type thing."

"I toured Brookdale Sakonnet Bay. It was very clean. The people were very friendly. They had lots of activities. The surrounding area was beautiful. They had two large views from the back, like big decks overlooking the bay. It was gorgeous. I did see the dining room, and it was beautiful."

"I went to see the assisted living facility of All American Assisted Living at Raynham. The residents were all very mobile, except for the people who were all asleep on the front porch in the rocking chair, which was absolutely awesome. They were out there enjoying the sun, and it was one of those nice warm days in October, so most of them were asleep. Everybody was taken care of, and everything just looked perfect. The decor was wonderful. I'm sure they hired somebody really wonderful to do the matching of the decor, because it works. They had everything you'd ever want. They had rooms for physical fitness, art, playing games, reading, and just about anything you could think of, and they had a place for it."

"I visited the Blaire House of Milford Assisted Living, and it was very good. Everything was perfect, and I enjoyed the place. The staff members were excellent. They showed me everything, and they were very good and very open. The rooms were excellent and were a good size. They weren't too small or too big. Everything was clean. I saw their dining area, and the food and everything there looked good. There's no problem with parking, either."
