Assisted Living Residences in Rhode Island
Assisted living residences in Rhode Island are licensed by the Department of Health under R.I. Gen. Laws 23-17.4, with separate endorsements for dementia special-care units and for limited health services (nursing care beyond medication help). They provide housing, meals and personal care for a monthly fee and are not nursing homes.
Who pays
Mostly private pay. Rhode Island Medicaid pays for assisted living for eligible residents through its long-term services and supports program in residences that accept it; the Office of Healthy Aging (401-462-4444) screens for it. Long-term care insurance and the VA Aid and Attendance benefit may apply.
How to choose
Ask whether the residence holds the dementia special-care or limited-health-services license if those matter, read the most recent Department of Health inspection, visit at mealtime, and compare the base fee against the care plan. The Alliance for Better Long Term Care, the state ombudsman (401-785-3340), takes complaints.
