Anchor Bay at East Providence sits near One Hundred Acre Cove and serves as a Continuing Care Retirement Community that welcomes older adults with different needs, and the staff always stays on site around the clock if residents need help. The community provides independent living for active seniors, assisted living for those needing some gentle support, memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, and short-term nursing services for health concerns, so you'll see a lot of different people here, all getting the care they need without having to move away. Every apartment-whether studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom-has emergency alert systems and a daily check-in, and some layouts offer more space or special features. Staff help with things like medication, dressing, personal care, meals, and even weight checks if a doctor orders them.
The campus has a friendly feel, and there's a resident-run general store where folks buy essentials, a greenhouse for those who like plants, and a four seasons patio that looks out at the changing weather. The common areas include a library, a great room for events, a computer café, and a chapel for quiet time or spiritual services, not to mention a recreation room that gets a lot of use during the 150 scheduled activities each month, which range from happy hours and painting to chair exercises and games. There's a beauty salon and a barbershop on site, so you don't have to go far for a haircut, and everyone gets weekly housekeeping plus linen services. Dining happens in a bistro-style setting, with chefs preparing nutritious meals that change with the seasons, and staff can help during mealtimes if needed.
Anchor Bay also features strong safety services like secure memory care areas that prevent wandering, as well as emergency support and monitoring for those who need extra attention. Residents can bring their pets, and the grounds are easy to walk, with indoor and outdoor spaces set up for accessibility. Transportation gets scheduled for appointments or errands, so you don't need to worry about getting out when needed.
The staff, who stay day and night, make a point to know residents and keep the atmosphere both welcoming and safe, including a tenured team that's gotten recognition, like a Best of Senior Living award and high review scores from families, and the facility itself has regular checks for its license and care standards. Residents here get to enjoy a good mix of independence, structure, and company, with support that adjusts if needs change. The community is designed to balance convenience, safety, and a range of activities so older adults can continue to live life their way, with help close by if they ever need it.
