Overview of Grand Islander Center

Grand Islander Center is a 146-bed nursing home in Middletown, RI, offering hospice care, memory care, palliative care, respite care, and skilled nursing. Skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care around the clock, while memory care offers someone living with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia a secured, supervised setting. Nursing home care supports ongoing daily care, hospice and palliative care focus on comfort during serious illness, and respite care provides a short stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

Grand Islander Center may be a good fit for someone with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia who needs supervised care, or for a family seeking short-term respite care. Rehabilitation includes neurological and orthopedic therapy, so a resident can receive treatment at the community rather than arranging transportation elsewhere. The range of services also allows some residents to remain in one setting as their care needs change.

Gardens and courtyards provide places for outdoor time, while the fitness room and wellness programs support exercise activities. Restaurant-style dining, in-room dining options, and a café with always available menu choices give residents several ways to access meals. Coordinated transportation is also available.

Total nurse staffing is 3 hours and 19 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands-on nursing time allocated to each resident. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, and Lauren Ready serves as administrator. With a Walk Score of 34 out of 100, the area is car-dependent, so most errands require a car or a ride for residents who no longer drive.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in Rhode Island

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Rhode Island?

Assisted living in Rhode Island supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

Does Rhode Island Medicaid cover memory care?

Rhode Island Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including Rhode Island) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

How do I choose the right memory care community in Rhode Island?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing.
