What Makes us Different

Senior Care in East Providence, RI

Excellence abounds 

Maybe the most important thing that sets Tockwotton on the Waterfront apart is that we are committed to excellence in everything that we do. In every service, every interaction, every care program, every design choice, everything. We want residents here to enjoy the very best possible atmosphere and care we can deliver, always. We want every individual to feel they are heard, valued, and in control of their own care

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 to 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!

Our mission & non-profit format

What truly sets us apart is our mission as a premier non-profit provider. Unlike for-profit communities that must prioritize shareholder returns and ownership profits, 100% of every dollar we earn is reinvested into the community to benefit the lives of the residents. It enables more robust staffing, enhanced care services, and better amenities. Here, our bottom line isn’t a financial statement. Our reason for being is to elevate the well-being and happiness of the people we serve.
