What did RIDOH's recent inspections of Lighthouse at Lincoln find?

RIDOH has posted reports from 22 survey visits at Lighthouse at Lincoln since May 2023: 6 found deficiencies and 16 found none. The most recent, on August 25, 2026, was a survey — deficiencies cited (resident assessments and service plans).

The latest posted routine (biennial) licensure survey was on February 18, 2026 — no deficiencies cited. Most other visits are unannounced complaint or incident investigations, which RIDOH opens whenever a report or complaint comes in; a high count can reflect a large or busy residence as much as a problem.

Areas cited across those reports include resident assessments and service plans, special care (dementia) unit requirements, residential care services and reporting incidents to RIDOH. A cited deficiency requires a written Plan of Correction that RIDOH reviews; it is not a fine or a license action.

For context, the median Providence County residence with posted reports has 3.5 survey visits with deficiencies over the same period; Lighthouse at Lincoln has been cited more often than that.

How much does Lighthouse at Lincoln cost per month?

Rhode Island does not publish prices for individual residences, so ask Lighthouse at Lincoln for its written rate schedule. This site's 2026 research puts typical memory care in the Providence metro at $7,000–$9,500/mo.

Most Rhode Island residences charge base rent plus a level-of-care fee that rises as help with bathing, dressing, medications or mobility increases, so get the fee for your parent's assessed level in writing.

Rhode Island Medicaid's long-term services and supports program can pay for assisted living services at participating residences for people who qualify, while room and board stays the resident's responsibility. Ask whether the residence participates and how many Medicaid beds it has; see our Medicaid assisted living guide.

What should you ask when touring Lighthouse at Lincoln?

Start with the areas RIDOH has already cited at Lighthouse at Lincoln — resident assessments and service plans, special care (dementia) unit requirements and residential care services — and ask what changed after each Plan of Correction; then cover overnight staffing, the full rate schedule and what would force a move.

• How soon after move-in is the written service plan finished, and who reviews it when needs change?
• How is the Special Care Unit secured, and what dementia training do its staff complete?
• What personal-care help is included in the base rate, and how is a change in care level decided?
• How do you notify families and RIDOH after a fall or other reportable incident?
• Can we visit at mealtime and in the evening without an appointment?
• How do you handle a hospital discharge back to the residence?
• What is the full monthly rate for my parent's care level, and what triggers an increase?
• Which care needs would require a move to a nursing facility?

Visit twice — once at a meal and once in the evening — and read the residency agreement before paying a deposit.

How does moving into Lighthouse at Lincoln work?

Before anyone moves into Lighthouse at Lincoln, the residence assesses their needs, and RIDOH's rules require a written service plan — services, frequency and who provides them — within seven days of move-in.

• Residency agreement and disclosures. Get the agreement, the rate schedule and the discharge terms in writing and compare them before paying a deposit.
• Medication plan. Ask whether your parent will self-administer with help (an M2-level service) or need staff to store and administer medications (M1).
• Nurse review. A nurse reviews each resident's condition on a regular schedule; ask how often and who the nurse is.
• Special Care Unit admission. Ask what criteria move a resident into Lighthouse at Lincoln's 68-bed Special Care Unit — here the whole residence is the unit.
• Payment. Most residents pay privately; long-term care insurance, VA Aid & Attendance and Rhode Island Medicaid (at participating residences) can offset costs.

If Lighthouse at Lincoln has no opening, ask to join its waitlist and keep touring — availability at larger Rhode Island residences changes month to month.
