The Preserve at Briarcliffe

Overview of The Preserve at Briarcliffe

The Preserve at Briarcliffe is an assisted living community in Johnston, RI. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while allowing a resident to maintain their own living space.

The community has 72 beds. It may be a good fit for someone who needs this level of daily support or for a family seeking respite care during a short term caregiver absence.

Supportive independent living, skilled nursing, memory care, and short term rehabilitation are also offered. Skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care, while short term rehabilitation and other rehabilitation services support residents during a recovery period rather than a permanent stay.

Respite care provides a temporary stay for a resident while a usual caregiver travels or recovers. The area has a Walk Score of 38 out of 100, making it car dependent, so most errands require a car or a ride.

Nisha Talwar operates the community.
