The Best Independent Living Communities in Rutherford County, TN

"I'm moving into Manor At Steeplechase. A lot of the places we saw had no exits out of the units except into a hallway and I have an assistive dog. I've wanted a way to take him out without taking him through the building; that's why I picked Manor At Steeplechase. They've been extremely helpful. My son was very pleased with it and they were very nice to him. My daughter-in-law was very pleased with it as well. It's a three-story building. In Franklin, it's hard to find green space, but this has space. It's more than a yard. Except in the front, you don't see a subdivision or anything like that. When the leaves come out on our trees, I will not be able to see the tops of the houses or anything like that. There is a four-lane highway, which is naturally busy, but they've set it back off the road, so you don't feel like you're going to have a car come into your house. They had all of the common facilities and arrangements like food and light housekeeping. Because of the dog, I had a downstairs apartment with an exit onto a small patio. All of the second and third floors have balconies, some go out of the living room, and some go out of the bedroom. If it wasn't for the dog, I'd probably take any of them. Some of the one-bedrooms are larger than others. I found out from my son that it was one of the first of that kind in Franklin. It was well-maintained and clean. People didn't take a shortcut cleaning. It was well-appointed. It was the cheapest of the group that I looked at. The menus sound nice. The balance and everything looked very appropriate."

"When my husband, Butch, and I realized that we had reached the age and stage in our lives that we required support, our daughter began to research assisted living facilities in our area. We also began to make inquiries. Charter Senior Living of Hermitage was the one most often recommended. From our first visit, the atmosphere and reception at Charter was one of warmth and caring, not only from the staff but also from the residents. It felt from our first encounter like a family. In fact Cece, the housekeeper who takes care of our apartment, expressed it best when she told us, “This is my home away from home.” After moving into our apartment, our impression about Charter was confirmed. Zack even came and helped us hang our pictures, and saved me when my printer refused to print. Nurse Sonia and the caregivers came to check on us and see if we needed any help in getting settled. We would especially like to recognize the caring and concern shown to us by Sonia and and the caregivers Allie, Sherri, Keneisha, Deera, Savannah, and Cece in housekeeping. Kelly in the office has gone out of her way to assist us in working with our LTC. Greta is always there to answer our questions and help us in any way. Simone and Jamey are our “go to” people. They are wonderful. Faith works tirelessly to provide activities that are fun and stimulating. That’s not an easy job. She even helped when I had a computer glitch. We give a well deserved “shout out” to Andrew and the kitchen staff. They have the hardest job of all, pleasing so many with food. I would also like to say that the Therapy staff of Legacy at Charter continues to be a life saver for us. We both came to Charter with physical and mobility issues. Gina, Wanda, Angela, Camille, and Tyler are such caring people. They have worked hard to relieve our pain and prepare us not only for the surgery we are facing, but for improving our quality of life. We are now a part of the Charter Family, and happy so."

"Brookdale Franklin was more upscale living, and really for people who are fully functional. It was very, very nice, well-furnished, and had a nice atmosphere. There were lots of people doing activities. We came in during a birthday party. My mom liked it, but I don't think she'd be a good fit there. It's a little pricey, but it's a really nice facility, and I would rate that highly. I liked that place. It's large. It's three floors and people can come and go as they please. So, it's for people who can't stay at home, but aren't bed ridden or wheelchair ridden completely. They have people there in wheelchairs and walkers and things, but they're fully mobile, and so it's a good place to be. Everything is included, like the TV and internet and all of that, so it's fully equipped and has really nice rooms. It would be a great choice if you just wanted to leave your home and go somewhere where you didn't have to do all the maintenance and everything, but that is not what I'm looking for. Still, it's an excellent location. The staff was great. They had a gourmet dining room, and we were there while some of the people were beginning to eat dinner, and the food looked really great. The meals we saw that were being served looked like they were prepared by a chef. They weren't only appetizing, but they were extremely attractive. They had drizzle sauce on cakes, things like that, and the meals were arranged like you would find in a restaurant."

"I toured Hermitage Senior Living. It was fine. It's a very well-kept place. The units are nice. They have a nice workout facility. The staff is friendly. They have activity rooms where they do weekly and daily activities. They have a restaurant that seems to be nice. The people who lived there and the front desk were nice. Adam, who is the manager, was very, very helpful. The rooms are medium, not small. They're a decent size."

"My mother is in Vitality Living Franklin. It's the right size community. Not too small, not too big. The services are there to meet her needs and the staff is concerned with her well-being. The main area of the assisted living is kind of hardwood and their bedroom is carpeted. They have things and refrigerators and that sort of stuff. They have whatever the residents are looking for. They kind of pull the residents and some of the high school folks come over to do some of their performances from the Franklin High School as well as just general bingo and elderly calisthenics and that sort of stuff. I've eaten there and the food was pretty good on the assisted living side. On the memory care side, it could improve. Value seems to be on par with everybody else."

"I toured one of Carriage House Inn's apartments and I was impressed. I'm on a waiting list. The apartment was very spacious. They have light housekeeping coming in once a week and that's included in $1745. The staff who toured me was very informative and explained things to the fullest. They gave me a big folder with all the information and what's covered and everything. The staff was very good and very professional."

"The Villages of Murfreesboro was neat and clean. It was nice and they were friendly. The lady who toured us was really good. It was first-class. I looked at the menu and it's all varied, too. They have lots of entertainment, a courtyard, several get-together places, and they do trips to different places. The apartments are also fully furnished. It's got everything."

"5 stars is not adequate enough to describe the staff at Stones River. Before you choose a home for your mother or father, walk through several and then come to Stones River. This is a non-for profit facility so their ratio of staff to resident is off the chart. The previous place my mom was in there was one nurse for the entire facility. This place has a nurse per hallway."

"I went to AdamsPlace. It's very clean. The apartments are very spacious. The staff was very pleasant. They have all kinds of specialty rooms. They have a theater, a billiard room, an indoor Olympic swimming pool, a workout room, card rooms, like all kinds of rooms. It's just really, really nice, and clean. It's beautiful."

"I am living in Lake Providence and I choose it because it is a beautiful place with nice houses. The people are very friendly and accommodating. My house is very spacious and everything is on one level. I have two car garages with no steps and it is very conveniently and designed for wheelchairs or disabled people. They had a clubhouse and workout rooms with lots of activities. This is a nice community and I am really happy here. "

"I like Carrick Glen Senior Living. They had nice individual homes with attached garage. I visited a 2-bedroom 2-car garage, and I liked the individuality of the home. They just didn't have enough availability, but they had a waiting list. The dining room was nice and decorated. The staff explained to me about the meal plan, and they had a separate building for the activities."

"We toured Rutland Place. The cleanliness was the best, and the people who took us on the tour did a great job, and the people who lived there. The facility was so nice, and the grounds were beautiful. They're all priced in the same area, and all we looked at was that the pricing is very similar. We like their rooms the best because all of the rooms had fans in them, and they were a nicer layout. The other thing we looked at was the people who were living in it, who seem to be maybe not as old. The whole area was cleaner and a nicer environment, which is what we like. Two men took us around. They were so good and they showed us everything. They were very pleasing to work with. We spent a good hour there or more because they were great. We saw the menu and everything was nice."

"Fountains of Franklin is a brand-new facility. It was built about one to two years ago close to the hospital, and it's a very nice place. The rooms are really nice and big with nice carpeting. They have lots of activities in an activity room. I remember there was a 90th birthday party in one of the rooms, which was really nice. The staff was really good, and I thought it was all really nice, very bright, and gave me an impression of a happy place. I really liked that one. "
