What to Consider About Memory Care in Providence

The Center for Health Facilities Regulation, which is part of the State of Rhode Island Department of Health, is in Providence. It’s in charge of making sure that health care facilities within Rhode Island operate correctly, from the care of the residents to having the proper licensing. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Providence

  • Residents in Providence can expect a higher overall cost of living (105.1) than the national average of 100, but it’s less than Rhode Island’s 110.6 score. This means Providence is between the United States and Rhode Island in terms of affordability. 
  • Providence seniors should prepare for a lot of wet weather. About 127 days each year come with precipitation, but that can help make the average 200 days of sunshine more enjoyable. Temperatures can get cold when they dip into the teens during the winter, but in summer, they bounce back up to the 80s.
  • Some neighborhoods in Providence are safer than others. Crime statistics show that the city has a crime index score of 17 out of 100, meaning it’s safer than 17% of U.S. cities. Memory care facilities, however, tend to have ample security features in place to protect staff and residents and offer peace of mind. 
  • The Rhode Island Office of Health Aging provides information on multiple ways seniors in the state can access transportation. Options include the Reduced Fare Bus Program, transportation offered by senior centers, non-emergency medical transportation and the Elderly Transportation Program (ETP). Senior care facilities also often provide their own transportation for their residents.
  • Seniors can look forward to the average cost of health care in Providence. Its score of 84.4 is higher than that of Rhode Island (81.9), but both are substantially lower – and thereby more affordable – than the national average. Providence is home to multiple hospitals offering care to seniors and other Rhode Islanders.
