Overview of St Clare – Newport

St. Clare, Newport operates out of Newport, RI, with adult day care, assisted living, memory care, nursing home care, and skilled nursing on the license. Daily tasks get help under assisted living, and a resident keeps their own living space. Memory care is offered as a secure program with supervision. Nothing about a Tuesday midnight changes who is on the floor.

Day care exists for the family where somebody still holds a job and can’t be home to help. Care is needed during working hours, and going home at the end of it is the whole point of the arrangement. That spread of options suits a person whose requirements change and start calling for a different level of support.

There are 62 beds inside. One resident’s day of care pulls 4 hours and 50 minutes of nursing. Payment runs through Medicare for eligible skilled weeks, Medicaid where a long stay outruns personal savings, or direct payment.

A salon, a swimming pool, religious services, rehabilitation services, and short-term rehabilitation are on the list here. The secure memory care program gives a supervised setting, and therapy is available inside the building. At a Walk Score of 68, an errand or two works on foot, which counts for more with a resident whose outings are optional. Laur Dos Santos is the operating organization.
