Anchor Bay at Greenwich

Is Anchor Bay at Greenwich a licensed assisted living residence in Rhode Island?

Yes. Anchor Bay at Greenwich at 945 Main Street, East Greenwich, RI 02818 holds an active Rhode Island Assisted Living Residence license, number ALR01531, for 122 beds, on the Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) licensee list updated October 23, 2026, together with a Special Care Unit license for Alzheimer's and dementia care and a Limited Health Services license.

The current license number was issued April 1, 2026. A new license number on an established building usually reflects a new licensee — for example a change of ownership — so reports filed under an earlier license will not appear in this record. Ask the residence who the licensee is and for its most recent survey results under the prior owner.

You can confirm the license yourself in RIDOH's assisted living finder or the license verification site by searching the name or license number.

What should you ask when touring Anchor Bay at Greenwich?

Ask Anchor Bay at Greenwich for its most recent RIDOH survey result first, then cover overnight staffing, the full rate schedule, its F and M licensing levels, and which care needs would force a move.

• How many staff are awake on the overnight shift, and for how many residents?
• Is the residence licensed F1 or F2, and M1 or M2 — and what does that mean for my parent?
• What happens if a resident runs out of private funds — do you participate in Rhode Island Medicaid?
• Can we visit at mealtime and in the evening without an appointment?
• How do you handle a hospital discharge back to the residence?
• What is the full monthly rate for my parent's care level, and what triggers an increase?
• Which care needs would require a move to a nursing facility?
• How long have the administrator and the nurse in charge been in their roles?

Tour at different times of day, sit in on an activity, and take the residency agreement home to read before you commit.

How does moving into Anchor Bay at Greenwich work?

Moving into Anchor Bay at Greenwich starts with an assessment of your parent's needs before admission; Rhode Island rules then require the administrator to complete a written service plan within seven days of move-in.

• Residency agreement and disclosures. Get the agreement, the rate schedule and the discharge terms in writing and compare them before paying a deposit.
• Medication plan. Ask whether your parent will self-administer with help (an M2-level service) or need staff to store and administer medications (M1).
• Nurse review. A nurse reviews each resident's condition on a regular schedule; ask how often and who the nurse is.
• Special Care Unit admission. Ask what criteria move a resident into Anchor Bay at Greenwich's 75-bed Special Care Unit from its assisted living rooms.
• Payment. Most residents pay privately; long-term care insurance, VA Aid & Attendance and Rhode Island Medicaid (at participating residences) can offset costs.

Most moves take two to four weeks once a room is available; a hospital discharge can compress that to days, which is when a second set of eyes on the agreement helps most.
