"My brother-in-law moved into American House Murfreesboro. They were open, and they asked financially where I was to be able to assist him so that we didn't waste each other's time, and that was important to me. They worked with me on the services they could provide within my budget. My brother-in-law seems thrilled about the food. Everyone that I have met seems very focused, not just on the client, but also on ensuring that they meet the requirements of the legal system. They just put new flooring down, so they're working on upgrades. They have an activities director, and they also do outside activities. They have music night and bingo night. They have a nice dining area set up, as well, just for them to gather. There are cards and all kinds of things."

"My mom will move into Creekside at Three Rivers. It's a beautiful facility. There are many people there. They have a plethora of workers who can take care of my mother at any given time, and the community is much nicer. Stacey is the admissions director. She was amazing. She took us through the whole facility and answered almost every question we could have had. She took a lot of time with us, and I was very pleased. The room is going to be sufficient for my mother. It's called an efficiency. It's just a studio apartment, and it's going to be plenty big enough for her. They have a beautiful dining room, and we were very encouraged. The area upstairs for church services was very nice, and my mother's a churchgoer and will enjoy that on Sundays. They have a lot of areas for activity, pool tables, card tables, and all kinds of stuff."

"I am a resident of Traditions of Smyrna. One of the great things I love about this place is that they have so many activities for people to do. The activities are great. They provide transportation to a grocery store two times a week. They will take you to the doctor on Tuesdays and Thursdays if you let them know in advance. Garbage is picked up right outside your door every morning before 8 o'clock. The food is included. You have what they call a certain number of points a month, and that's how they go by it. The food is sometimes good, sometimes it is not quite as good. It depends on the cook, but it's certainly not a complaint. The staff are some of the friendliest people I've ever run into anywhere. My apartment is very nice and up-to-date, with subdued colors, a lot of white, big windows, and a little door to a little balcony. I love it here. They come and clean my apartment twice a month. They vacuum the hall, mop, and clean it all the time."

"My mom is at Harpeth at Harmony Hills. She is in level three. She is not in memory care, but she cannot dress herself, and she can't bathe herself. It's wonderful. They're so caring. They go above and beyond to make sure that you're taken care of. Her room is nicer than where we moved her from. It has a living room, a bedroom, and a larger bathroom, which is really nice. The community is nice, clean, and updated. I ate there a few times with my mom. The dining area is a great nice room. If we had any complaints at all, it would be that they need to get their menu updated. They have good food, but they need to have more choices and more variety. The upkeep is awesome, though. They do exercises in the morning where they can do things in their wheelchair. They're having Dillard's makeup lady come in to do facials. They do bingo. They have an inner courtyard and a front porch. It's in excellent condition. They're up on a hill, so it's nice to sit on the front porch and see out, and you get a nice breeze."

"We looked at Belvedere Commons of Franklin. It was lovely and decorated for the holiday. We were looking for a smaller place, and it was nice and adequate. The staff who helped me during the tour was the best. It was Latoya, and she was wonderful. We loved her. She was friendly, helpful, and adorable. She was so inviting and engaging. She told us everything we wanted to know, and she was great. They were preparing for Thanksgiving. They gave us a piece of pie, and it was delicious. They have their own chef there. It smelled good. It all looked really good. It looked well-kept."

"We toured The Rivers at Maryland Farms. We went into one of the rooms. The people were very helpful and very kind. It was very clean and updated. The room size was good. The area was great. My father really liked that one, but the other one is closer to where all their doctors are, the hospital and all that, so he wanted to stick with that one because of that. The dining area was awesome. It was wonderful. Their price was reasonable, and the parking situation was great. It was really convenient."

"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 Belmont Village Green Hills. It's a quieter, low-key place and very happy, with high-quality service. It's very clean and they've recently renovated it. My grandmother had been there for about five years before she passed away, and I liked it back then, but they've made it even nicer since then. It's like new paint, very clean. They have a new chef, who's from Italy, so the food's even better than it was. I looked at their menu, and they were saying how amazing the chef is, and that they have a lot of options that are switched out daily, but then they have a regular menu that's always the same as well. Christy was very experienced, knowledgeable, and compassionate."

"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."

"Grace House Residential Home for the Elderly is small and kind of intimate, it felt most appropriate for my sister. I didn't feel like we were paying for services that she was not going to use, so the smaller place suits her better. The person who gave me the tour is the owner, and she was very forthcoming to tell me exactly what would be available to my sister. She gave me her history in the health care field and her reason for starting this home, which made me feel good about the whole thing. She came to visit my sister where she is now, and they had a little interview together, so both my sister and I felt good about that whole situation. The room was just a basic room in a house, it's a small room with an attached half bath, it had a toilet, a sink, and they have a separate walk-in shower for the residents to use for their safety. It's like a 12x12 room with a lavatory and toilet attached to the room. They told me their menu for that day and we were perfectly happy with that. They had a typical home dining area that's got a dining table that seats eight. It's right next to the kitchen, it's nothing fancy, and it's just a very home-like atmosphere. There's not so much activities. There are four men and two ladies there now, and a lot of them spend time in their rooms, they have their own TV, and there's a large screen TV in the living area. Occasionally they play bingo and they do cookouts like on holidays and things. The facility is nothing elegant nor fancy, but it's adequate."

"My mother moved into Maristone at Providence. I like it because it's clean and the population is not a lot. She interacts well with all the people over there and she loves it. She has her own apartment, which is nice and they keep it clean. They go out to eat. At Christmas, they took them around to see the lights at night. People came in and sang Christmas carols to them. It seems like they always have something going on that you can participate in. I haven't experienced any meals with her, but she seems to like the food."

"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. "

"My mom moved into Maristone of Franklin. So far the staff is very competent. They're a small facility with only 40 units so you get better care in a smaller setting. They have great activities and a great dining facility. The location was great for me and it just felt like it was the right place for my mother. The room has new carpeting in the bedroom, new wood floors in the living room, new appliances in the kitchenette, and new paint. They just replaced a new HVAC system so it has undergone some recent renovations. The chef is a trained culinary graduate and she makes everything from scratch with no processed ingredients, which I think is good."

"I've visited The Kempton of Hermitage and everything there was very nice. It was very clean and they all seemed very happy. It was centrally located, and there were a lot of things in the location. Yet it was the main beaten path and there was nothing behind it as far as buildings, it was in a kinda cul de sac by itself. The people were very nice and the lady I talked to was very nice. She helped me and spent time with me, we walked through the place and she invited me to have lunch but I wasn't able to at the time. They pretty much have the same amenities as the other places I toured, but the thing that I also liked was they include cable in the total package, while some of the places don't. The area is quiet, they had places for music, and places for gardening, and they'd take them here and there where needed. They were right down the street from the hospital, they had a salon and a courtyard. They were only two levels high, which is good because I don't like high rises."

"Our experience having my mother-in-law in the memory care unit of The Pavilion has been great. The people there are very friendly and helpful, and they keep good tabs on her. They've allowed her to have a room to herself because we felt like she would prefer that. She has a nice apartment. Another reason we picked this community is because my mother-in-law doesn't walk easily and has a walker, and there's not a lot of places to walk. There's a couple of hallways, a main room that has the dining area, the lounge, and the main hall with all of the apartments. The nurses' station is right in those areas, so they can keep an eye on everybody or who's out of their room. They check up on her when she's in her room and make sure she gets her laundry done and has taken her shower. They've taken good care of her, so we're relieved. The room that she has could be shared with two bedrooms and has a little kitchen area with a bathroom. She has the whole place to herself. It's really spacious for her, and she enjoys it. There's also an assisted living side to it other than the memory care, and everybody seems to know who we are which was nice. They're really friendly and often would give us updates that she's getting along with everybody. They went through a transition with her, with what she might need such as medication and other help, so they've adjusted to it and it's comfortable for her as far as medication goes, she seems to be content. They're always happy to talk to us about her, and come get her if she's late for a meal to make sure she's OK. They're really attentive and they keep eyes on everybody. Another nice thing about it is that it's right behind our hospital here, so that's very convenient if we need help. She likes the meals and enjoys the activities. They keep them entertained, and the layout is so convenient for her. There's no way she could get lost in The Pavilion; it's one of the things we're happy about because her memory is off. Compared to other places I've looked at, the value for the cost is reasonable."

"The Opal at Music City looks a little dated, but clean. They seemed to know their residents there. It looked like the residents were well taken care of. I saw a room, but I didn't quite go inside it. I looked from the door and they're pretty a good size. Some of the rooms were a little crowded, but other than that, it looked like they were kept clean. The residents were all sitting at the table talking, but we didn't talk about activities. However, the place is affordable, and it looks like a good option for those on a budget. The dining area looked clean."

"I toured McKendree Village. The staff member who assisted me was very friendly. We didn't have much touring given. It's just directions, more so of how to get from point A to point B. I really like the room size. I saw a two-bedroom, and it was very nice to be considered assisted living."
