Overview of Anchor Bay at East Providence

Anchor Bay at East Providence offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care in East Providence, RI. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks while the resident keeps a private room. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, and respite care offers a short stay for a family caregiver who needs time to travel or recover.

All three care types are available on one campus, so a resident whose needs grow over time may be able to remain there rather than move to another community. Anchor Bay has 115 beds in the Riverside neighborhood. Pets are allowed, and David Pendleton serves as administrator, so a resident can keep a pet during their stay.

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.

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.
