Tamarisk Assisted Living in Warwick, Rhode Island, provides two principal levels of care: assisted living for residents who need help with daily tasks and a dedicated memory care program for those living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Short-term respite stays are available, and the community is equipped to manage diabetes through monitoring and medication support. Residents benefit from on-site speech therapy and receive full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating and toileting when needed. Because the campus is designed to accommodate memory loss, residents with advanced dementia can remain in place as their needs increase, and a one-person transfer protocol is in place to help individuals move safely.

Clinical resources are reinforced by a registered nurse or licensed practical nurse on staff, routine background checks for all employees, and an awake overnight team for continuous monitoring. On-site services extend to hospice care, incontinence management, ambulatory care, massage therapy, occupational and physical therapy, medication management, and visiting podiatry. The community operates as a memory-care-only environment, which means programming, layouts and security are tailored exclusively to cognitive support. An activity director develops structured engagement throughout the day, and consistent nurse oversight ensures changes in condition are identified quickly.

Accommodation options include suites that may feature private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, cable service and the option for residents to paint or decorate their rooms. Housekeeping is provided, and rooms are wheelchair accessible. Because floor plans vary, not every unit contains every feature, so families are encouraged to confirm specific amenities during a tour.

Daily dining follows a set menu prepared to accommodate individual dietary requirements, with three meals served in the common dining room and snacks available between meals. A private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings or special occasions.

Amenities and services round out the experience with resident parking, scheduled transportation, an exercise room, wellness center, barber and beauty shop, movie room, library, internet access, concierge assistance, on-site religious services and various special-interest clubs. Pets are allowed. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
