John Clarke Retirement Center in Middletown, RI delivers three levels of care—Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Residential Care Home. Residents who benefit from daily oversight can move into assisted living, while those who prefer a lighter touch may choose independent living. The residential care home option supports individuals who need a homelike setting but with additional structure. The community also accepts residents under 60 years old and is equipped to manage moderate dementia conditions.
Around-the-clock clinical oversight drives the center’s care model. Registered and licensed nurses are on staff, with a nurse on call at all hours, and awake night-shift coverage ensures continuous monitoring. Security is provided 24/7, and in-room pull cords link directly to staff. On-site medical services include incontinence and ambulatory care, vision and podiatry visits, dental appointments, speech and occupational therapy, nursing care, and resident or family counseling. Staff can assist with bathing and toileting when some physical help is needed, and they provide standby supervision for eating and dressing. Mobility supports cover walkers, wheelchairs, and one-person transfers.
Residences are designed for function. Units are wired for cable service, and layouts vary, so not every apartment contains identical features. Prospective residents should confirm room details during a tour to ensure the space meets specific preferences.
Dining options accommodate different routines. The kitchen prepares a daily set menu, but on-order meals are also available for residents who want something else. This flexibility helps address dietary restrictions or simply individual taste without sacrificing nutritional balance.
Common-area amenities include wheelchair-accessible pathways, an exercise room, a wellness center, and communal gardens that can be used for casual walks or organized programs.
