The Loft at Linn
Assisted Living Memory Care
A New Level of Memory Care
The Loft at Linn consists of 22 spacious private studio apartments on each floor of the former Linn Health & Rehabilitation building in East Providence, Rhode Island. A single corridor links all apartments with the dining and activity areas. This physical circular design enables, supports, and promotes residents’ ability to walk about freely in a safe and secure setting.
The courtyard features bench seating, plantings and raised beds for residents to garden. This is a quiet area where loved ones can gather, where groups of residents can share the same interests in gardening or nature, or residents can simply relax in the sun with full support and supervision of The Loft staff.

Life Enrichment
With only 22 apartments on each floor, residents receive highly individualized, personalized care. The Loft staff connects with each resident to find what brings them comfort and the spark of joy. Meaningful activities are essential for creating purpose and a sense of community. Formal programming is offered all day in both small or large groups, and incorporates all components of well being including cognitive, physical, emotional, spiritual, social, and vocational. For example, there are opportunities to cook with staff, clean and fold one’s own laundry, and participate in community outings and intergenerational programming.
