What did RIDOH's recent inspections of Chapel Hill Assisted Living find?

RIDOH has posted reports from 15 survey visits at Chapel Hill Assisted Living since January 2023: 5 found deficiencies and 9 found none. The most recent, on April 6, 2026, was a survey — no deficiencies cited.

The latest posted routine (biennial) licensure survey was on March 24, 2025 — deficiencies cited (staff training, resident assessments and service plans, dietary services). Most other visits are unannounced complaint or incident investigations, which RIDOH opens whenever a report or complaint comes in; a high count can reflect a large or busy residence as much as a problem.

Areas cited across those reports include staff training, resident assessments and service plans, dietary services and the quality assurance program. A cited deficiency requires a written Plan of Correction that RIDOH reviews; it is not a fine or a license action.

For context, the median Providence County residence with posted reports has 3.5 survey visits with deficiencies over the same period; Chapel Hill Assisted Living has been cited more often than that.

How much does Chapel Hill Assisted Living cost per month?

Rhode Island does not publish prices for individual residences, so ask Chapel Hill Assisted Living for its written rate schedule. This site's 2026 research puts typical assisted living in the Providence metro at $5,500–$7,800/mo, with memory care at $7,000–$9,500/mo.

Most Rhode Island residences charge base rent plus a level-of-care fee that rises as help with bathing, dressing, medications or mobility increases, so get the fee for your parent's assessed level in writing.

Rhode Island Medicaid's long-term services and supports program can pay for assisted living services at participating residences for people who qualify, while room and board stays the resident's responsibility. Ask whether the residence participates and how many Medicaid beds it has; see our Medicaid assisted living guide.

What should you ask when touring Chapel Hill Assisted Living?

Start with the areas RIDOH has already cited at Chapel Hill Assisted Living — staff training, resident assessments and service plans and dietary services — and ask what changed after each Plan of Correction; then cover overnight staffing, the full rate schedule and what would force a move.

• What orientation and annual in-service training do aides complete, including dementia training?
• How soon after move-in is the written service plan finished, and who reviews it when needs change?
• Who plans therapeutic diets, and how are menu changes and special diets communicated to the kitchen?
• What has your quality-assurance committee changed in the past year, and can families see the plan?
• 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?
• How many staff are awake on the overnight shift, and for how many residents?

Visit twice — once at a meal and once in the evening — and read the residency agreement before paying a deposit.

How does moving into Chapel Hill Assisted Living work?

Before anyone moves into Chapel Hill Assisted Living, the residence assesses their needs, and RIDOH's rules require a written service plan — services, frequency and who provides them — 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 Chapel Hill Assisted Living's 26-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.

If Chapel Hill Assisted Living has no opening, ask to join its waitlist and keep touring — availability at larger Rhode Island residences changes month to month.
