Commonwealth House Assisted Living sits in a quiet residential neighborhood on a multi-acre campus, with home-like comfort that makes people feel safe, cared for, and at ease, and you'll find it's an actual house with just eight bedrooms and a friendly team who know everyone by name, which helps folks get individualized care and truly feel like part of a family, and the owners themselves are very hands-on, making sure no detail gets missed, from the fresh farm-to-table meals in the dining room to support with things like medication, bathing, and mobility, and they have staff-like nurses, caregivers, and medication techs-on-site or on-call round the clock, so help is always close by. Residents have private or semi-private bedrooms, enjoy scenic views, and can take part in daily exercise like chair fitness, yoga, stretching, and group walks outside, and for folks needing more involved health services, there's diabetic care, medication reminders, physical and occupational therapy, psychiatric care, and regular visits from medical professionals. The building's one story makes it easy to get around, and everything's wheelchair accessible, which means no one has to struggle, and nobody needs a Hoyer lift because the staff stays ready to help with moving about or daily routines. Families will see a quiet library, cheerful gardens, loungers by the saltwater pool, and spaces for barbecues, lawn games, ping pong, and family pool parties, not to mention a cabana for relaxing summer afternoons, and the main kitchen and dining area stays open 24 hours, so anyone can grab a snack or a warm meal whenever they'd like.
Residents stay busy and connected thanks to a long list of activities, like arts and crafts, games, music, group outings, literary clubs, spiritual programs, and even volunteering, and people from all walks-whether they want independent living, assisted living, memory care, or even nursing home support-can find the help they need, since the house serves a range of needs and always strives to balance independence with gentle, personalized assistance. Services come in both English and French, and those who need it have access to transportation for appointments or errands. Safety gets taken seriously here too, with emergency response systems, fall prevention, security checks, and medical alert devices spread throughout the property. Insurance options cover long-term plans, Veterans benefits, and private pay, and some Medicaid supplement beds are available. Housekeeping, laundry, maintenance, notary work, meal planning, mail pick-up, and everyday chores are all handled by a supportive team, which gives residents and their families peace of mind. Community spaces, gardens, a computer room, cable TV, internet, and a cozy library let everyone find their own special place to feel at home or get together with friends. Commonwealth House has won the Caring Stars award for care quality-more than once-and it holds a top ranking on U.S. News & World Report for assisted living in Rhode Island, which just means people recognize the good work they do. Here, the staff are known for being friendly and approachable, always putting residents' happiness and well-being at the center, and the atmosphere really does feel like home, rather than an institution, so people can age with dignity, stay active, and enjoy each day surrounded by kindness.
