Memory Care Communities in Murfreesboro, TN

"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. It's a beautiful location, and I love the facility, and I love the girl who was walking us through the facility. Everybody was so sweet and kind. They all seemed happy. We had an opportunity to talk to some people who lived there, and they were very pleased with the facility, but it was a 45-minute drive from us, which was just a little too far. We met with Sidney, the admissions director, and Katie, the activities director. They were all just as sweet as could be. The facilities were amazing. They had monitors on the floor that detect a fall, and then the cameras in the rooms would have picked up on that motion detectors once they determined that somebody fell, and they would be able to get to them a lot quicker. That was a great selling point. The rooms were beautiful. The rooms are well maintained and taken care of, and they have all their in-house staff for cleaning."

"It has been a wonderful place. He can exercise, and they have group activities. He can also go to the area where the physical therapists are. There is also aworkout area within that. The dining area is really nice, and the food is good for that kind of setting. They check on a lot more than they know, and that is really comforting to know that they make sure that the residents are OK. "

"Belmont Village Green Hills was very clean. The staff was very nice and informative. The dining area looked nice and clean, and they were finishing breakfast when I was there. The facilities were fine, but I did not like the location."

"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 is like no other assisted living facility! It is a home, and all staff and residents form a loving and caring family. They provided forever lasting beautiful memories for me and my family. It was an incredibly hard decision to place my family member in a care facility, but once I found Grace House all my guilt and fears subsided and I knew I made the right decision. My loved one never wanted to leave she loved it so much, lol. Thank you Grace House for all that you do and all your love."

"We have decided on choosing The Pavilion Senior Living Smyrna for my husband. I was familiar with the place, and the price was within my affordability. As I was also leaving after our tour, one of their staff members came up to me and said we would love it there, which really impressed me. We visited their memory care facility, and it was clean and had lots of staff members. On the memory unit alone, I saw four staff members. The previous place I visited only had one on its memory unit. They were also extremely pleasant and caring, and interacted with the patients. It is not corporately owned but is privately owned. The rooms, the halls, and the grounds were all spotless. The person who gave the tour showed me the calendar of activities, and it was very full."

"Maristone at Providence was very clean. The rooms were very clean and very spacious. The staff who assisted me was fantastic. They were very good and very thorough. The dining area looked fine to us. It was clean and organized. It did not smell like urine. We didn't observe any activities. "

"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 has loved loving at Somerby. She has enjoyed making friends and doing activities. She likes the food and her apartment. I’m really glad we found such a wonderful place that she enjoys!"

"We have chosen Maristone of Franklin. My wife hasn't moved in yet, but we're getting close. I think it is an excellent facility. It's nice and clean. The staff works together. The executive director, the director of nursing, and the other staff members work seamlessly together. They are a very well-coordinated team. They have a culinary director managing the food, and most of the employees eat there because it's so good. What I tasted was very good as well. They prepared a meal for me as well, which was delicious. Their facilities are excellent. I understand they have remodeled, maybe in the last year or two, and so the facilities are nice. The parking is nice, too. They seem to have adequate parking. I've visited them and talked with different people, and everybody seemed welcoming. I'm not a stranger to them. They call me by name."

"This ALF is uniquely gifted with a healing atmosphere for the mind, soul, and physical body. It is evident in the residents, employees, and building. Every one is happy with great interaction with one another. I am a nurse and just love seeing patients under my care there. Simply the best."

"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."

"My husband is at The Opal at Music City. The outside needs a lot of work, but the inside is very nice and the residents are all smiling, so that's always a good sign. The caregivers are very active with each of the members who live there. They have a beautiful area to watch TV and another area for games. They have an outside section that's completely secure and it's very nice and clean, but mostly what I brought out of there was the people who live there are all happy. They all like it and my husband had no problem at all when we first got there because it was so nice. You can decorate the room as you like. It was just very nice and also affordable. He has a roommate, which worked out well for him because he has somebody to talk to and visit with and do things. Some people have private rooms. I just think it's nice because they can decorate it the way they want. They have their own privacy. They can shut their door and leave everybody outside or they keep the door open and go visit other people with their doors open. They have an ice cream shop, a library, a media room, and a game room. Somebody comes in and they can get their hair cut, but it's not there all the time. You just make an appointment with them. The food's very tasty. They invited the whole family in and we all enjoyed it. It's not very nice on the outside, but it's very, very nice inside and it's not on a busy street, so it's secured that way. They have a lot of activities, so that's good."
