Resident & Family Member Feedback Earns Providence Senior Assisted Living Community 2024 Best Assisted Living & Best Memory Care Excellence Awards

PROVIDENCE, R.I., April 24, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Capitol Ridge at Providence, a Benchmark assisted living and Mind & Memory Care community, has ranked among the best assisted living with memory care communities in Rhode Island and the entire U.S. for the third straight year. In U.S. News & World Report's third annual Best Senior Living ratings published last week, the community was selected following a comprehensive resident and family member survey. Capitol Ridge is the only senior living community in Providence to have earned either award.

Capitol Ridge earned "Best" status by achieving the highest possible rating for both assisted living and memory care. Respondents gave the community high marks in critical areas, such as overall value, management and staff, resident enrichment, dining and food, safety, transportation, maintenance, housekeeping and location.

Forty-four Benchmark communities throughout the Northeast received a total of 62 U.S. News awards, the highest number achieved since the program's inception.

"Our communities are continually pursuing excellence, so it's exciting to see their hard work and dedication reflected in the highest numbers of Benchmark awards earned to date," said Tom Grape, founder, chairman and CEO of Benchmark. "Really getting to know our residents and providing experiences that nurture connections and enhance quality of life is one of the many ways we stand apart, and we're excited to see that commitment validated, once again, by our residents and their families."

Capitol Ridge's care and experiences spans independent assisted living to specialized memory care assisted living for those who would benefit from a more secure, engaging environment, chef-prepared meals, supportive living services, transportation and assistance with daily activities, such as getting dressed and medication management. Residents enjoy connecting over programs and amenities offered in many common spaces including a pub, recreation room, wellness center, hair salon, library and outdoor patios with seasonal dining, raised garden beds and walking paths.

Capitol Ridge's award-winning Mind & Memory Care program offers carefully created living environments and unique opportunities for those with Alzheimer's and dementia to find joy in each new day. Residents are supported by 24/7 care providers who have been hired for heart and trained in memory loss, communication and empathy. Neighborhoods provide the comforts of home and have unique features that help those with memory impairment prosper. Thoughtful touches, visual cues and purposeful amenities further promote familiarity and wellness.

"Our associates are really committed to caring for our residents like they would their own family members, and we are thrilled that our dedication has been recognized by an industry leader like U.S. News," said Tristi Delaroca, executive director of Capitol Ridge at Providence. "Whether it's the personalized care we provide or engaging programs that keeps our residents connected, each and every day we strive to be the absolute best."

For more than 30 years, U.S. News has served the American public as an unbiased arbiter of quality across a variety of important choices. Whether picking a college, selecting a hospital or moving to a nursing home, consumers go to U.S. News to research and make consequential life decisions.

"Best Senior Living reflects U.S. News' commitment to helping families navigate the important – albeit time-consuming – decision of researching and choosing a senior living community through trusted, data-backed community ratings," said Sumita Singh, general manager of Health at U.S. News. "We are proud to recognize those communities that stand out as 'Best' by providing exceptional care and satisfaction, as directly expressed by residents and family members of residents who live and thrive in these communities."
