The Preserve at Briarcliffe
The Preserve at Briarcliffe
Located in Johnston, Rhode Island, The Preserve at Briarcliffe is an assisted living community that offers a continuum of care that includes assisted living, memory care, rehabilitation services, respite care, short-term rehabilitation, and skilled nursing. Along with its 72-bed capacity, this range of services can benefit older adults whose care needs may change over time by allowing access to multiple levels of support within one setting.
Memory care services provide structured support for residents living with cognitive impairment, along with licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants who are also available to oversee daily care and health monitoring. The community’s multi-service approach appeals to families seeking flexibility and continuity of care without the need for frequent relocations.
Located on Old Pocasset Road, the community is situated in a relatively walkable area, with a limited number of nearby amenities available within walking distance. However, most errands and outings typically require transportation by car.
Primarily, state inspections have focused on food service operations, including kitchen procedures and sanitation practices. In response, the community implemented corrective actions and additional staff training. Additionally, complaint investigations conducted during this period did not substantiate resident harm or negative resident outcomes.
For older adults seeking assisted living or memory care with access to additional healthcare and rehabilitation services, The Preserve at Briarcliffe is a good fit, especially due to the availability of multiple care options within a single community.
