As the parent organization, Aldersbridge Communities consists of three separate subsidiary organizations, Winslow Gardens, Linn Health Care & Rehabilitation and Arbor Hill Assisted Living, providing a full-complement of services to the low to moderate income aging throughout Southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. In addition, the organization started a for-profit subsidiary, Elder Care Consu
ltants. We also offer the Aldersbridge Navigator program offering services and support to elders living independently in their own homes. Continued access to affordable assisted living and supportive housing is a critical necessity for those that Aldersbridge Communities serves. They are aging in place with increasing frailty; have multiple medical conditions; failing vision and hearing; and impaired mobility -- all of this compounded by impoverishment. Winslow Gardens, located in a residential neighborhood in East Providence, RI, offers a combination of independent-living subsidized apartments and affordable assisted living options for low to moderate income individuals 62 years or older. They have efficiency units as well as one-bedroom units that can accommodate one and two person living arrangements. Living options are complemented by 24-hour emergency response, full-service dining, and assistance with activities of daily living including housekeeping, laundry assistance, personal assistance, nutrition and hydration monitoring, medication reminders, mobility assistance, transportation services and planned activities and outings. Services are complemented by a continuum of care that includes skilled nursing, recuperative therapies, and long-term care. At Linn Health & Rehabilitation, they offer skilled nursing care, various levels of post hospital care, on-site rehabilitation as well as short-and-long-term medical care in a private or semi-private room in a 73 bed extended care facility.
