“It’s like a high-end hotel and everyone is sort of on vacation.”

“Ideal for my mom, she gets three wonderful meals a day, they provide laundry services, they clean her room once a week. And if she’s late for a meal they call right away to see where she is. My mother is 89. They do yoga, movies on the weekend, she gets her hair and nails done, they will bring her to doctor’s appointment, and there’s once or twice a week excursion.”

Gourmet Meals ~ Concierge and Valet ~ Comfortable Living Suites

Free from the costly and time consuming demands of home maintenance and the insecurity of living alone, our independent seniors are able to enjoy the lifestyle of their choosing, all on their own time.

A Wide Range of Interesting Activities

Situated in our beautifully restored main building, our Independent Living Plans are perfect for seniors who do not need assistance with medications, mobility, or health or wellness concerns.

Our independent residents take advantage of our close proximity to lovely and historic downtown Westerly, where quaint shops, restaurants, parks, and local theatre and entertainment are within a short walk.

Residents can hop in their car and visit beautiful beaches, museums, golf courses, boating and fishing, and many more local attractions, just a short drive away.

Should health situations change, the transition to Assisted Living or Memory Care is easier and much more convenient.
