The history of the organization dates back to 1856, when Eliza B. Rogers and fifteen other Providence women founded the Home for Aged Women. This charitable initiative evolved into the Tockwotton Home and has continued to operate for more than 156 years. The current community was intentionally designed by architects, developers, engineers, and interior designers to serve residents at every stage of aging. Every detail, from color schemes to furniture, was chosen for both form and function. The Courtyard Memory Care unit is built in a circular fashion to minimize confusion and enhance stability, with most apartments featuring courtyard or waterfront views. Staff members receive specific training in dementia care and focus on creating meaningful connections with residents. The River’s Edge assisted living residence prioritizes resident happiness and wellbeing, offering personalized assistance and comfortable surroundings that resemble a seaside cottage.

The facility is located at 500 Waterfront Drive. It sits about a tenth of a mile from Fort Hill and roughly a fifth of a mile from India Point and Bold Point. The Marston Boat House is also about a fifth of a mile away. India Point Park is located about a third of a mile from the facility, as is the Iway interstate.
