Anchor Bay at East Providence offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care. Care plans accommodate residents with moderate dementia, including those who wander during the day or night, present elopement risk, or stay up all night. The team also supports residents under 60, individuals on special diets, and diabetics who use either oral medications or insulin injections. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on staff, and a nurse is on call around the clock to handle urgent medical issues.
Care delivery is reinforced by background-checked, awake night staff and 24-hour on-site security. Apartments are equipped with pull cords that alert staff, and exterior doors are alarmed; a fenced rear area provides an additional safety layer. On-site podiatry, audiology, and a dedicated therapy room reduce the need for outside appointments. Residents can receive partial assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, and standby supervision at meals. Transfer help ranges from walker and wheelchair support to one-person assists.
Apartments feature private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, cable, housekeeping, and scheduled laundry; some suites allow residents to paint or decorate. Not every unit includes every feature, so it is advisable to verify specific details during a tour. Independent Living residents, when applicable, can add medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, laundry service, and a monthly meal plan.
Dining options include a set menu at each meal, an on-order alternative, snacks throughout the day, and a private dining room for family visits. The culinary staff manages special diets such as gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chop, puréed, and thickened-liquid plans, helping residents meet physician-ordered nutrition goals.
Community amenities include resident parking, outside smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, a barber and beauty shop, exercise and movie rooms, a wellness center, high-speed internet, communal gardens, on-site religious services, concierge assistance, a library, special-interest clubs, scheduled transportation, and proximity to public transit. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
