What did RIDOH's recent inspections of Stillwater Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing Community find?

RIDOH has posted reports from 10 survey visits at Stillwater Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing Community since January 2023: 6 found deficiencies and 4 found none. The most recent, on March 25, 2026, was a survey — deficiencies cited (resident assessments and service plans).

The latest posted routine (biennial) licensure survey was on August 27, 2025 — deficiencies cited (resident records, the quality assurance program, residential care 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 resident assessments and service plans, residential care services, resident records 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; Stillwater Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing Community has been cited more often than that.

How much does Stillwater Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing Community cost per month?

Rhode Island does not publish prices for individual residences, so ask Stillwater Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing Community 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 Stillwater Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing Community?

Start with the areas RIDOH has already cited at Stillwater Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing Community — resident assessments and service plans, residential care services and resident records — and ask what changed after each Plan of Correction; then cover overnight staffing, the full rate schedule and what would force a move.

• How soon after move-in is the written service plan finished, and who reviews it when needs change?
• What personal-care help is included in the base rate, and how is a change in care level decided?
• Can family see care notes, and how quickly are changes documented?
• 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?

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 Stillwater Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing Community work?

Moving into Stillwater Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing Community 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 Stillwater Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing Community'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.

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.
