Overview of Brightview Commons in Wakefield

Brightview Commons in Wakefield offers assisted living, independent living, and memory care in South Kingstown, Rhode Island. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks while a resident keeps an apartment; Independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care; and memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Having these care levels in one community can suit a resident whose needs grow over time without requiring a move elsewhere.

Respite care is available for a short stay, which may help when a family caregiver needs to travel or recover. Housing includes studios, one-bedroom residences, and two-bedroom residences. A studio provides one private living space, while a two-bedroom layout can accommodate a couple moving together, and pets are allowed when a resident moves in.

The community has 88 beds. Residents can spend time in an outdoor courtyard with walking paths, watch films in the movie theater, use the game room and billiards area, or read in the library. Chef-prepared meals are served daily in a dining room with an extensive menu and daily specials. A Walk Score of 33 places the area in a car-dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride; Darlene Lepore operates the community.
