The current license number was issued July 7, 2026. A new license number on an established building usually reflects a new licensee — for example a change of ownership — so reports filed under an earlier license will not appear in this record. Ask the residence who the licensee is and for its most recent survey results under the prior owner.
You can confirm the license yourself in RIDOH's assisted living finder or the license verification site by searching the name or license number.

How much does Atria Lincoln Place cost per month?
Rhode Island does not publish prices for individual residences, so ask Atria Lincoln Place for its written rate schedule. This site's 2026 research puts typical assisted living in the Providence metro at $5,500–$7,800/mo, with memory care at $7,000–$9,500/mo.
Expect a base monthly rate for the room or apartment plus a separate care-level charge; ask how the residence assesses care needs and how much notice it gives before raising either.
Rhode Island Medicaid's long-term services and supports program can pay for assisted living services at participating residences for people who qualify, while room and board stays the resident's responsibility. Ask whether the residence participates and how many Medicaid beds it has; see our Medicaid assisted living guide.
What should you ask when touring Atria Lincoln Place?
Ask Atria Lincoln Place for its most recent RIDOH survey result first, then cover overnight staffing, the full rate schedule, its F and M licensing levels, and which care needs would force a move.
- How do you handle a hospital discharge back to the residence?
- What is the full monthly rate for my parent's care level, and what triggers an increase?
- Which care needs would require a move to a nursing facility?
- How long have the administrator and the nurse in charge been in their roles?
- How many staff are awake on the overnight shift, and for how many residents?
- Is the residence licensed F1 or F2, and M1 or M2 — and what does that mean for my parent?
- What happens if a resident runs out of private funds — do you participate in Rhode Island Medicaid?
- Can we visit at mealtime and in the evening without an appointment?
Tour at different times of day, sit in on an activity, and take the residency agreement home to read before you commit.
How does moving into Atria Lincoln Place work?
Moving into Atria Lincoln Place starts with an assessment of your parent's needs before admission; Rhode Island rules then require the administrator to complete a written service plan within seven days of move-in.
- Residency agreement and disclosures. Get the agreement, the rate schedule and the discharge terms in writing and compare them before paying a deposit.
- Medication plan. Ask whether your parent will self-administer with help (an M2-level service) or need staff to store and administer medications (M1).
- Nurse review. A nurse reviews each resident's condition on a regular schedule; ask how often and who the nurse is.
- Special Care Unit admission. Ask what criteria move a resident into Atria Lincoln Place's 32-bed Special Care Unit from its assisted living rooms.
- Payment. Most residents pay privately; long-term care insurance, VA Aid & Attendance and Rhode Island Medicaid (at participating residences) can offset costs.
Most moves take two to four weeks once a room is available; a hospital discharge can compress that to days, which is when a second set of eyes on the agreement helps most.
