Overview of The Phyllis Siperstein Tamarisk Assisted Living Residence

The Phyllis Siperstein Tamarisk Assisted Living Residence provides assisted living and memory care in Warwick, RI. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks while a resident maintains their own living space, while memory care provides a supervised setting for someone who may be at risk of wandering. Having both care levels on site may suit a resident whose needs grow over time and who may be able to remain in the community as care requirements change.

The residence has 81 beds. A Walk Score of 53 means some errands can be done on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may be able to handle certain nearby errands independently.
