Giving & Support
Aldersbridge Communities is a local nonprofit, nondenominational, and inclusive provider of assisted living, independent living, assisted living memory care and rehabilitation services throughout Rhode Island for lower income older adults. We operate Winslow Gardens, The Loft at Linn, Aldersbridge Physical Therapy and Wellness Center and the Aldersbridge Navigator ( in East Providence); Arbor Hill (Providence); and St. Germain Assisted Living (Woonsocket).
Originally established as United Methodist Elder Care in 1971, Aldersbridge Communities relies on the generosity of donors, sponsors, grants and other funding sources to provide high quality, low cost housing and healthcare for older adults, many of whom are of modest means. Our mission is to provide a safe place for our residents to live in comfort, dignity and with purpose.
In addition to the capital needs to maintain our four locations, throughout Rhode Island, funding is needed to support programs that enrich our residents’ lives. These programs include activities, special outings, art, music, drama, and entertainment. In addition, residents can apply to have their lifelong dream fulfilled through ElderVentures, a unique wish granting program of Aldersbridge Communities. All wishes are funded through donations.
