Overview of Commonwealth House Assisted Living

Facebook

Commonwealth House Assisted Living provides assisted living and residential care in Warwick, RI. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while allowing a resident to remain in their own living space. Residential care is available alongside assisted living, so a resident whose support needs grow may be able to change care levels without leaving the community.

With 10 beds, the home may also suit someone who prefers a smaller setting where staff and residents can get to know each other. Commonwealth House opened in 2016 and is family owned and operated by Amanda Willoughby. Medicaid is accepted, giving families a payment option when personal savings may not cover a long stay.

Private and shared rooms are available, and pets are allowed, so a resident may continue living with a pet. Private bedrooms and bathrooms are available, while wheelchair accessibility supports residents who use wheelchairs in moving through the community. A salon, hairdresser services, podiatry, rehabilitation services, and a doctor on staff provide access to grooming, foot care, rehabilitation, and medical support.

Meals are home cooked with fresh ingredients. Assistance with dietary restrictions and special diets supports residents who need adjustments at mealtimes. Religious services, transportation, and social activities and events are also available.
