Atria Aquidneck Place is a great place for your loved one! Expert nursing and caregiver staff. They always know where you lived one is. Have excellent food and activities for you loved one. No matter what stage of care your loved one needs, they will get excellent care and support at Atria Aquidneck Place. Great price for what you get! We tried another place for 3-years and Atria is by far safer, nicer, and trusted, stable nursing & caregiver staff.

I just wanted to share how happy I am at Atria Aquidneck Place. I’ve been here for five years and the management staff along with nursing, housekeeping, & activities are all exceptional. Lenore, Jen and Liz are the most exceptional nurses I’ve had in 12 years since I’ve had my stroke. Brenda keeps my apartment in tiptop shape, and Al the director of activities even brings me surfing at Newport Beach…. Those are memories I’ll cherish forever.
