What did RIDOH's recent inspections of Spring Villa Memory Care find?

RIDOH has posted reports from 12 survey visits at Spring Villa Memory Care since April 2023: 4 found deficiencies and 7 found none. The most recent, on March 3, 2026, was a survey — deficiencies cited (the smoking policy, resident assessments and service plans).

The latest posted routine (biennial) licensure survey was on April 18, 2025 — deficiencies cited (resident rights, physical-plant and safety requirements). Most other visits are unannounced complaint or incident investigations, which RIDOH opens whenever a report or complaint comes in; a high count can reflect a large or busy residence as much as a problem.

Areas cited across those reports include resident assessments and service plans, the smoking policy, physical-plant and safety requirements and residential care services. A cited deficiency requires a written Plan of Correction that RIDOH reviews; it is not a fine or a license action.

For context, the median Kent County residence with posted reports has 4.5 survey visits with deficiencies over the same period; Spring Villa Memory Care has been cited less often than that.

Does Spring Villa Memory Care offer memory care in West Warwick?

Yes. Spring Villa Memory Care holds a RIDOH Special Care Unit license for Alzheimer's and dementia care with 60 licensed beds — the whole residence is licensed as a Special Care Unit. Rhode Island requires a residence offering dementia care to hold that separate license, to be licensed at the F1–M1 level, to keep a registered nurse available for consultation at all times, and to provide a secure environment.

Across Rhode Island, 34 residences hold a Special Care Unit license, with a median of 32 dementia beds; Spring Villa Memory Care's unit is larger than most.

At least one posted RIDOH report cited a Special Care Unit requirement — ask what was cited and what changed.

How much does Spring Villa Memory Care cost per month?

Rhode Island does not publish prices for individual residences, so ask Spring Villa Memory Care for its written rate schedule. This site's 2026 research puts typical memory care in the Providence metro 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 Spring Villa Memory Care?

Start with the areas RIDOH has already cited at Spring Villa Memory Care — resident assessments and service plans, the smoking policy and physical-plant and safety requirements — and ask what changed after each Plan of Correction; then cover overnight staffing, the full rate schedule and what would force a move.

• How soon after move-in is the written service plan finished, and who reviews it when needs change?
• What is the smoking policy, and how is it supervised?
• When was the last fire drill on the overnight shift, and how are evacuations practiced?
• What personal-care help is included in the base rate, and how is a change in care level decided?
• 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?

Visit twice — once at a meal and once in the evening — and read the residency agreement before paying a deposit.

How does moving into Spring Villa Memory Care work?

Before anyone moves into Spring Villa Memory Care, the residence assesses their needs, and RIDOH's rules require a written service plan — services, frequency and who provides them — 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 Spring Villa Memory Care's 60-bed Special Care Unit — here the whole residence is the unit.
• 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.
