What did RIDOH's recent inspections of The Villa at Saint Antoine find?

RIDOH has posted reports from 4 survey visits at The Villa at Saint Antoine since July 2023: 1 found deficiencies and 2 found none. The most recent, on June 9, 2026, was a survey — see report.

The latest posted routine (biennial) licensure survey was on November 12, 2025 — deficiencies cited (medication administration and storage). 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 medication administration and storage. 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; The Villa at Saint Antoine has been cited less often than that.

How much does The Villa at Saint Antoine cost per month?

Rhode Island does not publish prices for individual residences, so ask The Villa at Saint Antoine for its written rate schedule. This site's 2026 research puts typical assisted living in the Providence metro at $5,500–$7,800/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 The Villa at Saint Antoine?

Start with the areas RIDOH has already cited at The Villa at Saint Antoine — medication administration and storage — and ask what changed after each Plan of Correction; then cover overnight staffing, the full rate schedule and what would force a move.

• Who administers medications on each shift, and how are errors and missed doses tracked?
• 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?
• 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?

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

How does moving into The Villa at Saint Antoine work?

Moving into The Villa at Saint Antoine 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.
• 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.
