If you’re reading this, you’re likely somewhere in the hardest stretch of a family decision — the point where staying at home is no longer working, but a 150-bed facility feels like the wrong answer. That’s exactly the gap Commonwealth House was built to fill.

We are a family-owned residential care home in a quiet Warwick neighborhood, licensed as an assisted living residence by the State of Rhode Island, serving 10 to 16 residents. Not a wing of 10 inside a larger building. Ten people, in a real house, with owners who live this work daily. We’ve been family-owned and operated since 2016, earned the Caring Stars award in both 2023 and 2024, and have been recognized by U.S. News & World Report among Rhode Island’s top assisted living communities.

Below is everything you’d want to know about the room that’s open — what it includes, what it costs, who it suits, and who it doesn’t.

What's Actually Available

The room currently open is a private bedroom in our main residence at 655 Commonwealth Avenue.

The room itself

  • One of eight spacious private bedrooms in the home
  • Large windows and natural light
  • Some bedrooms include a private full bathroom; others have access to a shared large full bath.

What the monthly fee includes:

  • Assistance with all activities of daily living, at whatever level is needed
  • Medication management, included for anyone who wants it
  • Three home-cooked meals daily, prepared by our private chef with fresh ingredients
  • Accommodation of most dietary restrictions
  • Laundry, housekeeping, and daily room care
  • Social activities, events, and companionship
  • 24/7 care, with a resident-to-caregiver ratio of up to 5:1
  • All safety and monitoring systems required of a licensed assisted living residence — installed discreetly, so the house still feels like a house

Shared spaces:

Our kitchen and dining area is the center of the home and stays open 24 hours a day, so residents can eat, sit, or visit with family whenever they like. There are two common areas, a small library, and ample grounds for socializing and family visits. See more on our lifestyle page.

You can walk through the entire house in our virtual tour before you ever get in the car.

Who This Room Is Right For — and Who It Isn't

We’d rather tell you plainly than have you drive out here and discover it yourself.

This room is a strong fit if your loved one:

  • Needs help with daily living — bathing, dressing, grooming, mobility, getting to meals
  • Needs medication managed reliably, on schedule
  • Is safe with 24/7 supervision and support but does not require continuous skilled nursing
  • Would do better with attention than with amenities — someone who gets lost in a large building, eats poorly alone, or has simply stopped talking to anyone
  • Has family who want to reach a decision-maker directly rather than a corporate front desk

On-site clinical support included

  • A licensed practical nurse on site several times each week
  • An in-house podiatrist who makes regular house calls
  • Physical therapy on site, or arranged through our preferred providers — we handle the coordination
  • Coordination of dentistry and outside medical appointments
  • Mobility equipment available to residents, including walkers and canes

This is likely not the right fit if your loved one:

  • Has advanced dementia with wandering, exit-seeking, or behaviors requiring a secured memory care environment
  • Requires skilled nursing, ventilator care, or continuous licensed medical intervention
  • Needs a locked unit for their own safety

If that’s where you are, say so on the phone and we’ll point you in the right direction — including to memory care at Whipple House, our sister community. A wrong placement is expensive, exhausting, and hard to undo. We’d rather help you get it right the first time, even when the answer isn’t us.

Full detail on care is on our assisted living services page, and you can try our Level of Care Estimator to get a sense of where your loved one falls.

What It Costs, and How Families Pay

Most senior living sites won’t discuss money. That helps no one, so here’s a frame.

Context first. Assisted living in Rhode Island averages roughly $6,000 to $6,500 per month statewide. But statewide averages hide the thing that actually matters: what’s bundled and what isn’t.

Our rate is all-inclusive. Larger facilities commonly quote an attractive base rent, then add care-level tiers, medication management fees, incontinence care charges, and à-la-carte service add-ons. Families routinely find the real monthly cost drifting well above the number they were quoted. At Commonwealth House, care, meals, medication management, laundry, housekeeping, and activities are included. Your first month and your twelfth month look the same on paper. Rates for the currently available room start at [STARTING RATE] per month — call for a precise quote based on care needs.

Payment options

  • Private pay — the majority of our residents
  • Medicaid Long Term Care supplementation — we hold a limited number of eligible beds for very well qualified recipients. These are limited and not always open, so ask early rather than late.
  • Long-term care insurance — we’ll provide the documentation your carrier requires

Not sure whether your family member qualifies for state assistance? You can begin self-screening through the Rhode Island Department of Human Services long-term care eligibility page, and the Rhode Island Office of Healthy Aging is the state’s front door for aging services and benefits counseling.

Living in Warwick — What's Around Us

The address matters more than families expect. Here’s what surrounds this room.

The neighborhood. Commonwealth House sits on Commonwealth Avenue in a quiet residential part of Warwick — a house on a street with other houses, not a facility in a commercial or institutional zone. You notice it pulling into the driveway. The grounds are open and well kept, which means outdoor visits in warm months and real windows to look out of in cold ones.

Medical care nearby. Kent Hospital is right here in Warwick, minutes away, which shortens every ambulance ride, every follow-up, and every specialist appointment. Providence’s major hospital systems are a short drive up I-95 when specialty care is needed. We coordinate transportation and appointment scheduling either way.

For family who visit. There’s parking at the house. Our dining area is open 24 hours, so you can bring lunch and eat with your mother at the table rather than in a visitors’ lounge. Two common areas, the library, and the grounds give you somewhere to actually sit together. Grandchildren are welcome, and they tend to be more comfortable in a home than in a lobby.

For out-of-state children. Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport is in Warwick — a genuinely short drive from our door. If you live in another state and worry about how fast you could get here, this is one of the shortest airport-to-bedside distances you’ll find anywhere in New England.

Community life. Warwick maintains real infrastructure for older adults, including the Pilgrim Senior Center and city senior services, and Warwick’s shoreline, Warwick Neck, and Goddard Memorial State Park give us places to take residents on a good weather day.

Getting here. We’re convenient to I-95 and Route 117, roughly 15 minutes from downtown Providence and reachable from most of Rhode Island in under 40 minutes. Coming from Cranston, East Greenwich, West Warwick, Coventry, Providence, or the South County towns, you’re close.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can my parent move in?

Faster than most families expect. Once we’ve completed a tour, an assessment of care needs, and the resident application, move-in can often happen within one to two weeks. Because we hold only 10 rooms, we don’t have a lengthy corporate approval chain — you’re dealing directly with the owners.

Yes, for a limited number of beds. We maintain a small number of rooms eligible for Rhode Island Medicaid Long Term Care supplementation for very well qualified recipients. Availability of those specific beds changes, so call and ask before assuming either way.

Up to 5 residents per caregiver, with care available 24 hours a day. A licensed practical nurse is on site several times each week.

We adjust the care plan rather than the price — that’s the point of an all-inclusive rate. We can add on-site physical therapy, coordinate with visiting providers, and increase daily assistance. If needs eventually exceed what a licensed assisted living residence can provide, we tell you early and help plan the transition instead of delivering it as a surprise.

Scale changes everything. 10 to 16 residents in a real home versus 50 to 200 in a commercial building. Owner-operators on site versus corporate management at a distance. Home-cooked, family-style meals versus cafeteria service. Flexible, individual care plans versus standardized protocols. Most families don’t know this option exists until they find it.

Yes, including evenings and weekends by arrangement. Mandi and Graham conduct tours personally. Contact us to schedule, or take the virtual tour first if you’d like to see the house before committing to a visit.

Yes. Commonwealth House is a licensed assisted living residence regulated by the Rhode Island Department of Health, and we operate under the state’s assisted living residence regulations. You’re encouraged to verify any community you’re considering, including ours.
