Anchor Bay at East Providence

I highly recommend Anchor Bay Assisted living. The staff are very conscientious. The residents are friendly. The community spaces are bright and the activities are designed to capture a broad audience.

My Mom is 90 years old and lived independently in a beautiful condo. She is very social and is active in her church and the senior center, but became depressed this winter because of the isolation, despite multiple weekly visits from my sister and me. She was losing weight rapidly. We visited Anchor Bay and she liked the community, but she still refused to move. [name removed], from Anchor Bay was very helpful and sent my Mom the monthly activities calendar and kept in touch with me, too, but was not pushy. [name removed] notified my Mom of an available apartment. She liked the apartment, but still needed some convincing before she agreed to move to AB. Within a few weeks of moving to AB, my Mom has become the happy, social woman that I have missed! She has made so many new friends & helpful staff and is often so busy with the activities at AB. She has regained all the weight she lost and is going to exercise class daily. She is living independently and thriving at Anchor Bay!

I would say so far so good. I'm out of state and dont get to visit often so I do not know much about what is taking place there.

No place is good enough for your loved but these guys tried. Staffing is their biggest issue. But that is an issue across the board. Be willing to drop your standards to happy healthy and safe. You cant control everything.

Everything from the move in process was the best!! The room was ready, the movers were attentive, and the staff was extremely welcoming! And still are, even after one year. Everyone is remembered by their first name and they know who the relative is and where they my be (in their room, in such and such activity, or just chilling outside). Highly recommended. Mom loves it there!

We picked this community because of the spacious room, and they offer bus trips and restaurants trips available once per week.

A beautiful community with a great team! The apartments are spacious and some even have balconies or patios. They have a greenhouse and fun activities to do every day. They are near a nature preserve and are tucked back into the setting with trees all around; many opportunities for bird watching!

The physical plant is pleasant and common areas are kept clean but there were issues with my mom's room not being cleaned. Regular staff is very pleasant but due to staff shortages they rely on agency help who aren't familiar with the residents in memory unit. I believe their assisted living program is okay, but I would not recommend the memory unit for a loved one.

Overall worse experience for my parents and family. What was told they do for memory care residents was not even close. They are not trained for Alzheimer's patients very bad for my mom and dad. Instead of redirecting her they would sent her back to her room, my dad never got to leave it was the same as them both being in their home! Awful place do not refer other families.

My Mom was at Anchor Bay for 10 months.. She loved it there.. However Covid hit and made things tough for her.. staying in her apartment was hard and we couldnt visit. The wonderful staff at Anchor did the very best to engage them with different activities inside their apartment..visited her and chatted often..and brought her special drinks from Dunkin donuts or Newport Creamery.. Before that she enjoyed the dining room and bingos often. When she was near the end of life and hospice came in.. we were allowed to visit any time day or night.. and we even stayed overnight with her.. Staffing was incredible! So kind, caring, and I could see the love they had for her.. She was truly happy being there..I will always be so grateful for her time there.. one regret— that she didnt have more time..

I have two loved ones who live at Anchor Bay, one in Assisted Living and the other in Memory Care. Both sisters, yet they wanted to be together. Anchor Bay at East Providence is a fantastic place. The experience of moving two people to Anchor Bay, within a week apart, was so seamless. The staff is absolutely the most helpful as they could be! Every question is answered with a smile, explained in detail, and always a follow up. Absolutely excellent place for the money! To describe Anchor Bay at East Providence, it is literally 'a cruise ship that does not leave land!" I told both my Mom and Auntie, if you are bored during the day; it is your own fault!!! I would absolutely recommend this facility to others! A rating of 5 is really not high enough, it should be a 10!

Everyone is so friendly and engaging, from residents to the staff. There is always something to do and someone to talk to. It is very clean and beautiful from the moment you walk in the door. My mom instantly felt at home there. She has quickly made so many friends and she was happy to bring her 2 cats and make friends with all the other animals that also call it home. She loves watching the birds and wildlife out her window and all over the property. They were recently certified by the NWF as a wildlife habitat! The grounds are very peaceful. There aren't many negatives at all, the only thing mom wishes is that she could pick her seat in the dining room, other than that she loves it there!

My loved one was only here for about 2 months before she passed, so we didn't have a ton of interaction at this facility. They had a lot of activities for the Memory Care patients and all of the residents seemed well cared for. The staff was friendly whenever I visited. I would recommend this facility to family and friends.

I took my mom to see this place, and wow! It was outstanding! [name removed] was just a delight and was so kind. She had an answer for every question we had. We explained that we were keeping options open for in the future, but after this your Mom is thinking that future plans maybe happening now!

Everyone there is phenomenal. [name removed] and [name removed] are just amazing people. The activities director (also named [name removed]) is also lovely. She makes sure that the residents are happy! I just adore this place and all who work there.

My first impression was the marketing folks were friendly and very accommodating The maintenance department will respond quickly to any contact

Went for a tour about 2 weeks ago, what a wonderful experience. Everyone was so happy, talkative, and willing to share how they feel about the staff and the services they receive. Pleased with everything that we will be moving our mom in hoping by November before the winter. We feel this is the best assisted living we have seen out of the 8 we toured.
