What Makes us Different
Signature Programs
Individualized Person-Centered Care at The River’s Edge means every resident is treated as an individual. Your personal preferences are respected and we honor your needs and desires. We encourage your drive to be independent and to feel comfortable enough to express your opinion or concern—whether it regards a personal issue or one that is relevant to the community. Open forms of communication help residents and staff foster bonds and to develop close relationships with each other.
The Seasonal Kitchen
Dining at The River’s Edge is a special occasion—everyday. Our wait staff greets everyone by name and very quickly learns how you like your coffee or tea. The warm and comfortable setting, overlooking the harbor, is enhanced by fresh flowers on each table. And the special attention placed on the menu truly sets our dining experience apart from all others.
Taking cues from the rhythm of the seasons our chef designs a menu that evolves several times a year, featuring those foods that are the freshest and meant to remind you of life in New England. From corn on the cob in the summer direct from Rhode Island farmers to regional wintertime favorites such as our chef’s famous clam chowder there is always a pleasant surprise waiting for you in the dining room.
Your heritage is so important us. In fact our chef especially enjoys recreating favorite recipes from your own kitchen. Many recipes eventually become a part of the menu on a regular basis. Our kitchen is your kitchen too!
The Journey Club
The knowledge we have today about staying both physically and mentally active exceeds any generation before us. Being active has become a way of life. Our health and happiness depends on it.
That is why we have developed The Journey Club. The Journey Club will exceed your expectations by offering more and better ways to spend your time. From trips to local museums or adventures like going to Foxwoods, the fun never ends. There is always something interesting going on at Tockwotton. Here is just a small sample:

- Special interest clubs
You will always have a reason to get up and go when living at The River’s Edge—it’s called The Journey Club. And your journey is just beginning.
