Overview of Winslow Gardens

Winslow Gardens offers assisted living and independent living in East Providence, RI, in the Six Corners neighborhood. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident keeps an apartment, while independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care.

Having both care levels may make Winslow Gardens a good fit for a resident whose needs may grow over time, since a move between independent living and assisted living can occur within the same community. The community has 76 beds, giving families a clear sense of its overall size without indicating a specific room or apartment arrangement.

A Walk Score of 79 means the area is very walkable, with most errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives can still reach nearby shops and services independently. Pets are allowed, so a resident can keep a pet in the community.
