Briarcliffe Manor in Johnston, RI, operates as a nursing-home level community and is equipped to deliver focused medical support. On-site physical therapy is provided by licensed therapists who work with residents to maintain or regain mobility after illness, injury, or surgery. The community also offers both short-term and longer respite stays, giving family caregivers a break while ensuring the resident has access to continuous nursing oversight, rehabilitation services, and medication monitoring.

Beyond the core medical programs, residents receive help with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and grooming. Skilled nursing staff are present around the clock, and care plans are updated in consultation with physicians and therapists to reflect changing health needs. Scheduled transportation to outside medical appointments, regular health assessments, and coordination with specialists are part of the routine so that residents have a consistent continuum of care.

Private and semi-private rooms are available, and some feature central air conditioning, cable TV hookups, and views of the landscaped grounds. Select rooms are positioned close to outdoor areas, walking paths, or the library and computer lounge for easy access, while others offer proximity to parking for visiting family members. Because layouts vary, not every accommodation includes every listed feature, so prospective residents should confirm which amenities are included in the specific room they are considering.

Meals are prepared on site and served three times daily in a communal dining room, with staff available to assist residents who need help with seating or eating. Menus are designed to meet nutritional guidelines and can be adapted to medical or cultural dietary requirements when requested. Snacks and beverages are accessible between meals, and clinical staff monitor dietary intake for residents with specialized nutrition plans.

For daily engagement, Briarcliffe Manor maintains an activity schedule that includes organized sessions in the activity center, TV and movie nights, yoga classes adapted for varying mobility levels, and arts and crafts workshops. These programs are intended to support social interaction, cognitive stimulation, and light physical exercise, adding structure and routine to each resident’s day.
