Overview of Blenheim-Newport

Blenheim-Newport offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Middletown, RI.

A studio offers one private living space, while a two bedroom layout can work for a couple moving together or for someone who wants a companion.

Overview of Forest Farm Assisted Living

Five care types belong to Forest Farm Assisted Living in Middletown, RI. They are nursing home care, skilled nursing, memory care, hospice care, and palliative care. 24-Hour Skilled Nursing Care is the wording on the service list, and it means what it says.

Fifty-five beds put this at the smaller end, where staff and residents come to know one another, and a resident whose needs grow finds the next level already here. Physical, occupational, and speech and hearing therapy programs handle the rehabilitation side.

Jennifer Mello is the administrator. Walk Score comes to 34, which is car-dependent, so most errands need a car or a driver.
