Rhode Island Senior Housing

Rhode Island - Housing Resources

An aging senior may reach a point where living alone is no longer a safe or viable option. When this happens (or ideally before), investigating the many senior housing options that exist can help a family narrow down the best choices for an elderly loved one. Many quality facilities offer different options based on level of care needed, cost, and location.

Housing Options

In Rhode Island, seniors have a range of options to choose from when looking for the ideal living arrangement.

Assisted Living Residences: Assisted living communities are designed to provide residents with basic day-to-day activities assistance, but they don't offer complex medical services. 

Assisted Living Resources

Rhode Island Assisted Living Association: Helps families with their search for an assisted living facility and provides them with information.

Assisted Living Federation of America: Assisted Living Federation of America home page for all states.

Nursing Homes: Nursing home care is typically provided for people who need long-term care, rehabilitation after surgery, or are recovering from a more severe medical condition. Nursing homes provide 24-hour nursing care and basic activities care such as bathing, grooming, dressing, and more. Our article Home Care vs. Nursing Home Care discusses the differences between two options.

Medicare Nursing Home Information: A great resource to help families during their search for a suitable nursing home.

Home Care: Generally, home works whenever a person prefers to stay at home but still needs ongoing care that cannot easily or effectively be provided solely by family and friends. Home Care includes benefits like health care, personal care (dressing, bathing), homemaking (cleaning, yard work, laundry), and cooking or meal delivery. You can find a home care aide for your loved one through Care.com's Senior Care Page.
