My uncle recently moved into Anchor Bay (one bedroom apt). Having helped him with his choice and move, as well as visiting daily for 2 weeks, I feel like I have a good picture of the facility and how it functions. First, [name removed], the sales director, was very easy to work with. There was no pressure in our meetings, he answered all my questions in detail and spent as much time with us as we needed. [name removed], the GM, was also extremely helpful and very approachable. When my uncle’s health dipped, [name removed] also quickly help us put together an additional plan of care that provided the services needed and staying within our budget. The care staff was very attentive to my uncle’s needs (he needed a good deal of additional care) and made him as comfortable as possible. The facility is in a nice and quiet area with many active and friendly residents. Meals are well attended and offer an additional opportunity for socialization While my experience is limited, we are very happy with our choice

Staff is wonderful. Helpful at every point. My sister has dietary issues and the 'waitresses' at meals are accommodating to her needs. Activities are appropriate for residents. My sister loves the painting class and Bingo twice a week. After visiting 8 different places we finally found a home for her.

Move was great. Staff is friendly and always willing to help. Great place. Would highly recommend the facility. Administration is also hands on. My aunt has regained her vitality as she is never in her apartment. Has made many new friends.

It's difficult to make that decision for a loved one to move from their home, but Anchor Bay really helped. Not only are their facilities outstanding, but their staff, especially [name removed], are first rate. Everyday my mom says how they are friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.

It seems at times that the facility is understaffed. But I have only had positive experiences with the staff.

From our initial contact, to our meeting with [name removed] for a tour, through the evaluation process, all through the application process, everyone we encountered couldn't have made the process more pleasant and straightforward. Everyone was very friendly, courteous and helpful. All the nurses were so great through the intake process, settting up the medication management and any other questions we had. It was really heartwarming and wonderful how the other residents welcomed our loved one. There is a real sense of community at Anchor Bay. Definitely a 5 Star experience all around. We highly recommend Anchor Bay!

Once we realized my Dad could not live alone any more, I toured six places to be his next home. I choose Anchor Bay because of the friendly and caring staff, small size, and accessibility. He has been there a month, and is happy to be there. He feels safe and secure. He likes the food, and goes to all 3 meals a day. The staff is receptive to my phone calls and are helpful. My only complaint is that the back yard area in not accessible to him. He walks with a walker. He feels the ramp is dangerous and there is no hand rail to help him. I am sad that he can not go outside and enjoy the lovely back yard. I did mention this to the Executive Director, and he told me they are working on making it more accessible.

I'm happy with the care my sister receives, she has been a resident of the memory care unit unit for three years. She is at home there and the staff is great. I recently spent a month there for respite and was happy with the facility and the care that i received.

Mom needed memory care support. At Anchor Bay she is happy, safe and well taken care of. She enjoys the delicious meats and activities. Most importantly the whole staff has become a caring extended family to mom and she has made many friends. This place has brought peace of mind to all of us.

Overall, it was a good experience. She was there for 11 months. I live out of state, so only visited a handful of times. Whenever I did, there was never any toilet paper in her bathroom. A friend who visited said the bathroom was not clean. When she was discharged, she was taken to the hospital due to aggressive behavior and they told the hospital she was not allowed to return. This ultimately left her "homeless" until she was accepted to another facility. So overall, the place was fine, but I do not like how it ended. Also, many items were missing from her room, including a brand new pair of shoes, personal items, pictures, etc. We never got these items back.

All categories are a 5. My mom is very happy there. She has made a lot of friends and considers Anchor Bay her home. The room sizes are very ample. She started off in a 1 bedroom and it was almost as big as her condo. She is now in a studio. It is much larger than studios we saw at other facilities. She has a large window that she enjoys watching the birds and wildlife through. Occasionally she sees deer. Also, I would like to add a comment about the staff. They were very helpful and supportive during and after my mom's heart attack. They all know me by name and are very approachable.

It has been an incredibly positive experience for my mother since she decided to move into Anchor Bay during the Fall of 2024. She is in love with the size of her apartment (the largest of any unit she got to see when touring different communities) & is looking forward to the nicer weather ahead so she can take advantage of the breathtaking views of the Barrington Nature Preserve that the Anchor Bay community is situated on!

My mother had an accident, and after weeks in the hospital & rehab, we decided she would not return home, where she lived alone. We toured two local A L facilities, and set up a time to take my mother to make her own choice. From the first phone call, to arriving for the tour, everyone is so friendly and welcoming, including the residents. Much to my surprise, my mother showed no resistance, and quickly chose Anchor Bay, thankfully! [name removed] & team helped to make the transition from rehab to the apartment quite possibly the smoothest ever. They help with arranging the movers who specialize in these sudden situations, and even helped with paying for part of it, which was a nice surprise! All of the staff, from the front desk, kitchen, maintenance, housekeeping, nursing and other medical staff, couldn't be more helpful and supportive. No one has hesitates in responding to any question or concern. Every need gets met, and our peace of mind is intact & priceless. Most importantly, she's happy!

This search was new for me. In no time, my husband went from a vibrant, healthy guy to someone who was walking around our house, hallucinating in the night and in cognitive decline. After 6 weeks and no sleep, I called his primary care doctor and asked to prescribe a sleeping pill for my husband. The doctor called back and said 'get him to an ER as soon as possible. Psychoses was the word he used. So I did that. After 10 days in the hospital, I knew [name removed] couldn't come home right away or maybe ever. The social worker at the hospital suggested Anchor Bay as one of the facilities he works with. In fact the next day after he had moved in, [name removed] said 'this is a very impressive hotel'. The staff is kind, caring and always know how [name removed] is doing. I don't think you could find a better facility for someone you care about.

My stepfather moved into Anchor Bay EP approx 1 month ago. [name removed] and the team at AB was tremendously helpful, informative and patient. My stepfather is very comfortable in his memory care apartment. It really looks terrific. He's eating well, conversing with many of his neighbors (residents) and staff. He appreciates the quality of the food and the cleanliness his apartment and the common areas. Thank you Anchor Bay

Everyone gave us an opportunity to ask questions, did not feel rushed, and the staff on the memory care init are experienced and look out for the residents. I can personally attest to the food as we had Thanksgiving with my mom. Studio and 1 bedroom units are newly painted. Large enough for furniture without feeling crammed Clean. Bathrooms are handicapped accessible. Rooms available for special events for residents and families. We used a lovely solarium for her 97th birthday.

The responsiveness of Anchor Bay East Providence to my mother’s particular needs made the transition to memory care much easier. Thanks [name removed]! The whole family, including my mother, is very happy with where she is now. The meals are great too.

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.
