Memory Care Communities in Providence, RI

"I am very pleased with everybody and with everything at Greenwich Farms. There are so many activities like bingo and exercise classes, and there is something going on every hour. They take them out to shopping if they want to, as well as to dinner and lunch. They take them to church on Sundays too. This was the one that suited us the best, and it was convenient to where my cousin and I live. It’s very pleasant, and he seems to like it there. "

"Anchor Bay at East Providence is a little more modern than where Mom is. One of the drawbacks for me is that, depending on the time of day, it's going to be a half hour and 45 minutes to get there. The staff was great, particularly the people showing me around and talking about all the things that they provide. The facilities were very nice and new. I would have chosen this one if it was the closest one to me. They were just a little bit more expensive, maybe $1500 a month more expensive."

"Our experience with Atria Bay Spring Village has been very good. It's beautiful and very clean, and the people are very friendly. They have physical therapy, a hairdresser, a movie room, an activities room, a courtyard, cleaning service, three meals a day, and nursing staff. My mother is very happy with the food. She's only gone to one activity so far, but she's happy with it."

"The Phyllis Siperstein Tamarisk RI Assisted Living Residence wasn't as new as the other place. The dining area was very nice. They showed us empty rooms and it's hard to figure out how you're going to put furniture in it. Everybody was very nice. The staff was pleasant. I just found out that everybody was so old. I didn't feel comfortable. I didn't feel like I belonged there. They gave us menus to look at, to take home if we wanted, which we did, and everything looked good. They have tours and all kinds of things to do in different places."

"My parents moved in a week ago and have had a wonderful experience. The staff is so friendly and caring, the facility and grounds are beautiful, and there are so many activities! I highly recommend this Senior Living facility."

"It is closer to my house. It is very elegant, clean, and they have a lot of activities. The staff is great. Actually, my father fell the day before yesterday, and they called me right away. His room is very nice, and just big enough for him. They provide a small refrigerator, and I wish it could have been a little bigger or taller because he has to bend down to go in and out of it, but I ended up bringing some milk crates to set the refrigerator up on, because it is just too short, and my dad is a tall guy. He loves the food, and every month they have a different theme. One month, they had Cuba, and I think last month they had Italy. "

"I toured Chapel Hill Senior Living. I only met two people, but they were very accommodating. The place was well-kept. They seemed to have a lot of activities. They had a plate to show visitors what the people were eating, and if they didn't like that particular dish, they had an alternate dish, so I thought that was very nice."

"All American Assisted Living at Warwick was close to where we are. My father moved into assisted living. It's good. The staff was very good; they were helpful and friendly. From what I understand, the food is good. At first it was delivered to his room. Delivery was a little slower, and the food was a little colder, but he's fine now that he's going down to the dining room. The facility is very nice looking."

"The staff at Brookdale Attleboro is great. The rooms are very nice and very spacious. The bathrooms are very accessible and large. The food is good. My relative is very much contented in this facility. It is very clean and well maintained. "

"The staff at Brookdale Centre of New England was professional. It seemed very cost effective in terms of reasonably good accommodations at a low price. They definitely had activities. The rooms in comparison to the other facilities that I went to were slightly smaller, but they were a little bit less money. I have really nothing negative to say. The staff answered all my questions. They were very polite to me and tried to walk me through the process. They were very good."

"My parents are staying at All American Assisted Living at Wrentham. It's brand new, so it's excellent. The staff has generally been attentive. The food is topnotch. They do religious services, game watching, musicians come in, exercise classes, social hour with drinks in the evening, and arts and crafts."

"The community, the director, and the people at Brookdale Sakonnet Bay were very nice. They seemed to be more caring for the family as well as their residents. Mom, at the time, was moved into a furnished apartment and it was lovely. It was just perfect for her and I would highly recommend it. They had a very nice meal selection. You can have as much as you want and you're able to have guests. So, everything was good. They had so many different clubs and activities available. They had crocheting, a reading/book club, trivia, bingo, word games, and cocktail hours on Friday afternoons. They also had an indoor pool and exercise room. It's a lot more bang for your money."

"My mother was at the All American. She was only there for about a month though. The food was very good. They had two separate bedrooms to a unit, and the people could have a TV or a phone. If you walked in the door to these two bedrooms, there was a little sitting area first of all, to the left of that was the bathroom and a shower, and then the two bedrooms -- each with their own door and separated by a wall -- and they were very clean. They did laundry every week for everybody, they had nursing and activities going on, people coming in for the activities, and three meals a day. This was the memory care, but the whole thing was assisted living with not more than 16 people in it, so it was a nice, hands-on type of thing. It was a very good place. My mom had her 101st birthday over there, and they gave her a wonderful party. They were fine. Everything was a five. "

"I toured Blaire House of Milford Assisted Living and got some information. I was very happy. The woman was on time, explained things, and answered a lot of questions. I actually had someone else with me, so it was nice. She took her time to answer the questions from the other person as well. She gave us this nice hard covered book when we left. It was just a nice, extra thoughtful gift, and something that wasn't related to the nursing home. It was just something they found inspirational for this time, as we are trying to figure out how to help a family member and loved one. I appreciated that. We weren't rushed. We took our time. It's a very nice facility and very clean. It's a little above my price range for my dad, but definitely one that I'm considering. I just did the memory care there."
