Wingate Residences on the East Side in Providence, RI, is built around assisted living, independent living, and memory care. Assisted living refers to having one’s own apartment along with staff available to help with bathing, medication, and dressing. The independent side maintains personal living and the community’s services, but no daily assistance. Memory care supervises residents whose wandering poses a risk, within a secured area.
Since all three are part of the same community, increasing needs don’t necessarily require a relocation. Across its 101 beds, the community runs respite care for temporary support and short-term rehabilitation for a recovery that has a clear end.
Vincent Messina serves as the executive director. A swimming pool is available, and concierge services are listed.
At 83 on Walk Score, the area is very walkable, meaning most errands can be done without a car.
