The Comfort of Home, The Care of Professionals

The Clipper had maintained an outstanding reputation in the community for providing rehabilitation as well as long term care to our residents since opening in March of 1996. Our Westerly location is convenient for the surrounding South County area. The Clipper Home is a branch of the Apple Health Care network, which provides innovative and progressive health care in New England. We offer comfortable accommodations in an atmosphere that encourages family involvement and participation. Our customized dining program is designed to meet the dietary needs of each resident – and to be tasty, too. Fun is an important element of life at The Clipper, where we have a full calendar of recreational programs and special events.
