Overview of Rhode Island Memory Care

While the state may be small in size, the Rhode Island memory care community has a lot to offer its aging population and 20,000 or so residents currently living with Alzheimer’s and dementia. In 2005, the Alzheimer’s Disease and Memory Disorders Center relocated to Rhode Island Hospital to assist seniors in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island with the challenges related to memory loss and cognitive decline. The center employs experts in memory disorders and offers a wide range of services including specialized consultations, assessment and referral services for southeastern New England, clinical trials of experimental drugs, and a research department that holds a weekly forum for memory care researchers.

The average cost of memory care in Rhode Island is $5,270 per month. This is higher than the national average which is $2,958 per month.
