Wonderful caring community. We picked this community because of the location and size also staff to resident ratio and the comfortable home like setting with memory care options on same campus.

We're thrilledbwith the care at The Carriage House.
The Carriage House at The Elms has far exceeded our expectations. Although diagnosed with Alzheimer's, our mother is still fairly high functioning, so we worried that perhaps it was too soon for a memory care unit, and that she would be unhappy. Mom loves her new home! The care she is receiving is outstanding. For us, the peace of mind, knowing that she's safe and happy is priceless. We recommend The Elms to anyone who is looking for the highest level of care for thier loved one.

Safe and happy
My Mom is currently a resident at The Elms Retirement Residence and everything has been great. The staff is very very good. It's a small facility, so each person gets a lot of attention. They were great at helping my sister and I adjust, too. There is a lot of guilt that goes along with the move. They are always accommodating to me because I travel 5 hours to see Mom once a month and sometimes I get there early. The food is very good because my Mom was very thin when she got there, but she has a little belly now!

great staff
The Elms Retirement is in a great location for us, it is very close to where we live which makes visiting convenient. The meals and dining experience get 6 plus stars, we have had no complaints whatsoever with this community. The value for the money is a relative question but if you can afford it the value is great. We have already recommended this community to families and we will continue to do so

Community Tour
We had a pleasant tour experience at The Elms. We just felt the rooms were not as accommodating. They were more like hotel rooms, with no kitchens. And we didn't like the fact that our loved would have to go down to the dining room to eat all her meals, with no option to cook anything for herself if she wanted to.

caring involved staff
We really like the smaller scale of the community, it is a very quiet setting. It is very well decorated, nice contemporary and classy looking. The outside of the building is old Victorian styled, it really is a well cared for facility. The location is downtown which is nice. Our loved one was only there for a few months, and the day to day staff and administration was just wonderful. They helped us get our loved one into a hospice program at a very fast rate. It was a very emotional time for us and they were always very caring and attentive to our needs. We have nothing but good things to say.

The Elms is a great place for Mom and or Dad. The staff is accommodating to needs and wants. The food is excellent and always nicely served by a great group of people. Many activities for the residents. Always decorated for seasonal holidays. Bright with many common areas should your loved one be inclined to socialism.

The Elms was a lovely place. Luckily, they had the perfect room in the perfect location available. During our tour we witnessed many of the residents out and about and engaged in conversation with each other. It has a nice ‘homey’ feel to it.

Elms memory care assisted living for my mom.
I recently placed my mom in Chestnut Cottages. This is a memory care unit at the Elms. The Elms is a respected local business that has proven to be an excellent choice. The facility is beautiful and the staff does an amazing job. I am a retired senior citizen police advocate that assisted many families over the years. When it came to dealing with my own mom, all my experience "went out the window" due to my emotions. I appreciated the caliber of the Elms more than ever. This is a difficult decision for any family. Rest assured this is a great choice.

Wonderful Care for Seniors with Dementia
My father spent the last couple of months of his life in The Elms Carriage House which is for seniors with dementia. The care he received was wonderful - professional, friendly and very personal. The staff cared to know my father as a person and we're very engaged with all the patients. What impressed me even more though was the care shown for my mother as my father's daily visitor. The staff always made sure she was well fed, emotionally supported and frequently asked after her own well being. I highly recommend this program to families searching for care!

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Rhode Island regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Rhode Island regulations for Assisted Living.
