Charlesgate South in Providence, RI, is a senior living community built in 1981 and has 100 units, including one-bedroom and two-bedroom configurations, along with some studio units, all designed for affordable and independent living for very low-income elderly residents through the Section 8 (202) program, with rent often set by income or offered at rates below the area's standard prices, and at least one unit available for people with mobility needs. The community provides independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing care, respite care, memory care, care homes, long-term and rehab care, home care, hospice care, and continuing care retirement living, so residents can get help with different levels of care as their needs change; staff are available 24 hours a day to support emergencies, help with moving from beds to wheelchairs, monitor diabetes and insulin, and provide non-ambulatory and incontinence care, and there are also experienced interdisciplinary professionals to support residents with dignity, respect, and compassion.
Residents can join in devotional and offsite activities, enjoy nutritious chef-prepared meals, and gather in the common indoor spaces designed to promote socialization and movement throughout the day, plus elevators on multi-floor buildings make moving about easier for everyone, and on-site mail delivery is provided as well. The property is non-smoking and has safety features like fire alarms and smoke detectors, utilities metering, and accessible features for mobility support, along with community amenities, apartment amenities, and a focus on supporting successful outcomes that help residents regain independence.
Charlesgate South lists all services and amenities clearly, has features and amenities for both independent and assisted living, and offers estimated pricing for studio, one-bedroom, semi-private, and two-bedroom assisted living rooms, including information about fees for different care levels, respite stays, and extra person occupancy, with payment options including private pay, commercial insurance, veterans benefits, and social security.
The facility keeps a photo gallery online, lets you print a brochure, and provides detailed ownership, management, lease terms, rent, sales, occupancy, and loan information, with more than 30 customizable property reports for people looking into specific site or management details. Management is associated directly with the community and a management system allows updates to their listing and information.
