Meet The Family
Mandi and Graham Willoughby moved to Rhode Island in 2012 from Northern California after Graham accepted a position at Brown University. Mandi brought with her a long-held dream nurtured while in the business of caring for others’ loved ones. Her dream was also inspired by her grandmother who had become frail, but did not want to leave her home. Mandi was determined to serve elders just like her grandmother with more personal, home-like care.
In 2016, the concept became reality when Mandi and Graham purchased and converted a Warwick home at 655 Commonwealth Ave. Commonwealth House was Rhode Island’s first “Care Home” — a unique community of 10 seniors who are assisted in their daily lives as they need it, in a home-like setting that they can love.
Not quite assisted living, not quite home care — a better way of senior living. Mandi’s grandmother would approve.
Mandi, Graham, their sons Ian and Rusty, and their Border Collies Buzz and Sumo also reside in Warwick, Rhode Island.
