Previously my love one was at a different facility and I will say that it is much better for her. They provide a lot of nice programs that they run. They do have a Memory Care section and I find that the people here are just more caring. The staff team is very knowledgeable and communicative. If something were to happen they are very good at calling me immediately and to let me know. I highly recommend this facility
Read moreIf 6 stars were an option here I would have chosen that. The staff at Atria Aquidneck Place is absolutely spectacular - caring and warm. [name removed], the unbelievably capable Executive Director, has made great things happen over and over again, solving problems for our family, and continues to hire (and retain) a true all-star team at the Atria. [name removed], who might be the world’s best nurse, has helped our family through some serious medical challenges, going above and beyond with real compassion. I wish I could name each and every one of the great staff at Atria Aquidneck Place - from the warm hearted, beautiful soul housekeepers, to the med-techs, to the chefs and dining staff - the food is better than at most restaurants, honestly. If you have a loved one in need, do them a gigantic favor and stop in at the Atria Aquidneck Place
