Saint Elizabeth Community

What Saint Elizabeth Community does

Saint Elizabeth Community is a Rhode Island-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit senior care organization founded in 1882, operating 13 locations across the state and serving 3,000+ seniors annually with a workforce of 501–1,000 employees. The organization provides a full continuum of elder care services spanning independent and affordable housing (183 HUD-assisted apartments), assisted living (153 units across Providence and East Greenwich), memory care, home care, adult day programs (four locations), short-term rehabilitation (34 beds), and skilled nursing (162 beds at Saint Elizabeth Home plus 48 beds across four GREEN HOUSE Homes). Notable proprietary care models include the GREEN HOUSE Homes small-home nursing architecture with Shahbazim caregivers and the only Alzheimer Whisperer certification held by a Rhode Island home care agency. Specialized programs include the Haven for Elder Justice (the state's only dedicated emergency shelter and case management program for elder abuse victims) and a free in-house CNA Training Program at the Workforce Development Center.

Revenue is generated through a mix of service fees paid by Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, long-term care insurance, VA benefits, and private pay, supplemented by HUD-assisted rental income, a 2025-launched membership program (atHome Together), and substantial philanthropic fundraising (over $115,000 net raised at the 2025 Rose Bids gala alone). Pricing models include monthly subscription tiers for assisted living ($3,800–$5,000/month), hourly concierge services (2-hour minimum), and recurring membership dues for aging-in-place planning. The organization uses a sales-led go-to-market model anchored by a Director of Care Navigation who guides prospective families through level-of-care selection, supported by physician and social-services referral channels, content marketing, and direct community outreach across Rhode Island. Strategic direction since the 2021 divestiture of Saint Elizabeth Manor has been a deliberate pivot toward home and community-based services, executed through acquisitions (The Seasons 2024, Cathleen Naughton 2016, Cornerstone 2009), facility expansions, and the launch of membership-based recurring revenue.
