Anchor Bay at East Providence
Families praise attentive, caring staff. One relative says, "My parents lived at Anchor Bay for 3 years and we could not have been happier for the care, environment and kindness. First, their health and safety is paramount... Their activities are varied... But really, the best thing is the staff. They pay attention and provide care in the kindest possible way."
