Overview of Abe’s Garden Community

Abe’s Garden Community provides assisted living, home care, hospice care, independent living, and memory care in Nashville, TN. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks, while independent living offers a private residence with community services and no daily care. Memory care provides a supervised setting for someone who may be at risk of wandering.

Home care brings support to a person’s residence, and hospice care addresses end-of-life needs. The community has 64 beds and a 95% occupancy rate, meaning most of its beds are occupied. Housing includes studios, one-bedroom residences, and two-bedroom residences. A studio is a single private space, while a two-bedroom layout can suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion.

Care is person-directed, with the approach centered on each resident as an individual. The community also uses evidence-based approaches focused on mind and body health. The combination of independent living, assisted living, and memory care may suit a resident whose support needs could grow over time, because multiple care levels are available within the community. Christopher Coelho serves as the administrator.
