Providence Senior Advisor is a free senior care advisory service for Rhode Island families. Think of us as the neighbor who's already walked this road: we help you make sense of the options, weigh licensed local residences side by side, and take the next step without second-guessing it — whether you're in a hurry or still months out.
Here's the honest part: we answer to families, not facilities. Our help costs you nothing because a community pays us only if your loved one decides to move in. We don't resell what you tell us or hand it off to a dozen sales teams. What we do instead is hand-match you to one to three vetted options that genuinely fit the care needs, the budget, and the part of the state you have in mind. Military families and veterans are always welcome here, too.
What sets us apart
- Local, not a national call center: we cover Greater Providence across Providence, Kent, Newport, Bristol, and Washington counties, and we've walked these residences ourselves.
- Free for families: no fees, ever, for our help.
- Licensed and compliant: we operate as a paid referral service under Rhode Island's senior-care referral and disclosure standards, and only refer to RIDOH-licensed residences with a clean record at health.ri.gov.
- Hand-matched: one to three options picked for your situation — never a spreadsheet dump of everything in the state.

Providence Senior Advisor is one of the locally staffed senior care advisory offices operating under common ownership as the Senior Advisor Franchise Network (SAFN). Each office is run by advisors who work their own metro area and maintain their own facility research; the network shares operating standards, the same no-cost-to-families model, and the same editorial policy on what we will and will not publish about a community.
We disclose this because families deserve to know who they are talking to. If you are helping a parent compare options in more than one city, an advisor here can hand you directly to the office that covers that metro.
Other offices in the network include:
