What senior care facilities are in the Rhode Island directory?
This directory lists all 63 RIDOH-licensed assisted living residences (34 with a dementia Special Care Unit), 75 nursing facilities, 78 home nursing care provider licenses and 17 hospice provider licenses in Rhode Island — 233 licenses in all, taken from the state's own records.
Every entry comes from the Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) licensee list updated October 23, 2026; assisted living profiles add each residence's RIDOH record and posted inspection reports.

Full profile →What is the difference between assisted living and memory care in Rhode Island?
Assisted living is a RIDOH-licensed Assisted Living Residence that provides housing, meals, personal care and medication help; memory care is a secured Alzheimer's/dementia Special Care Unit that the residence runs under an additional RIDOH license. Neither is a nursing home.
| Assisted living (ALR) | Memory care (Special Care Unit) | |
|---|---|---|
| Who licenses it | RIDOH — Assisted Living Residence license (R.I. Gen. Laws ch. 23-17.4) | RIDOH — a separate Special Care Unit license on the same ALR license number |
| What it is | Private rooms or apartments with meals, personal care and medication help | A distinct, physically adapted and secured unit for people with Alzheimer's or other dementia |
| What it isn't | Not a nursing home — no 24-hour skilled nursing | Not a nursing home, and not just a locked hallway: it needs dementia-trained staff and an RN on call |
| Fire / medication level | F1 or F2, and M1 or M2, depending on residents' needs | Must be licensed F1–M1 (residents may need help to evacuate; staff administer medications) |
| Who it fits | Adults who need daily help but are largely independent | People whose dementia affects safety, such as wandering risk |
| Typical Providence-area cost (2026) | $5,500–$7,800/mo | $7,000–$9,500/mo |
Licensing levels: 216-RICR-40-10-2 §2.4.2. Costs: this site's 2026 Providence-metro research.
