Douglas Commons

Douglas Commons is a senior living community in North Providence, RI, for people aged 55 and older, though some apartments are available for adults of any age, and they do offer both one and two-bedroom units as well as townhouse apartments with open floor plans, updated kitchens, walk-in closets, and en-suite master bathrooms in many of the units, and some even have private balconies or patios so folks have a place to sit outside if they like, with heat and hot water included in the rent which helps a lot, and full kitchen appliances like a dishwasher, garbage disposal, and self-cleaning electric range in every apartment. The building's got laundry available, on-site parking, and 24-hour maintenance so repairs don't have to wait, and people who need transportation can use the community's complimentary service. The apartments are pet friendly, but there are rules-cats are allowed everywhere, dogs are welcome up to 40 pounds but only in the Terrace apartments, and there's a $250 fee, which is all pretty clear. The place enforces a strict no smoking rule for all indoor spaces, both private and public, and security's a focus since there are exterior cameras and an intercom system, which gives people some peace of mind. For those who like to be social and active, there are amenities like a swimming pool, tennis courts, bocce courts, a pond, a gazebo, patios, and decks, and the complex even has access to a local walk that leads right to a freshwater beach, so there's plenty of ways to stay active if people are up for it. Healthcare staffing and ancillary services are part of the setup, and there's both assisted living and memory care available, as well as hospice services if residents need extra support later on. The apartments come in garden and townhouse styles and range from 800 to 1200 square feet, with some newly renovated options. People have access to air conditioning, high-speed internet wiring, and big closets for storage, and there's a range of one and two-bedroom layouts across the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floors, so folks have options on where they want to be, and there's a mix of 55+ exclusive and regular apartments. The community focuses on adult living and includes features like an on-site swimming pool, tennis and bocce courts, a pond and gazebo, patios, decks, and plenty of places to walk outdoors. The information on specific care services, amenities, or unique programs was limited due to a server error, so it's hard to provide more detail on the exact offerings or special features that set Douglas Commons apart from other communities, but those are the basics of what's available.
