Assisted Living & Memory Care · Smithville, TN
The Webb House Retirement Center is an assisted living community in Smithville, Tennessee, offering supportive residential care. Family-owned and operated for more than a century, the community stands out for its longstanding presence in DeKalb County and its deeply rooted local reputation. The community also provides an alternative to nursing home care in a smaller, more residential setting designed around comfort, safety, and personal attention.
Since the community operates as an assisted living residence rather than a skilled nursing center, it is regulated through the Tennessee Department of Health instead of the federal CMS nursing home rating system. The most recent state inspection on record took place in June 2022. Oversight focuses on licensing compliance, resident safety, and operational standards rather than CMS star ratings or nursing-hour reporting metrics.
The community maintains 24-hour staffing support and regular resident wellness monitoring. Safety features include emergency call pendants, sprinkler systems, computerized smoke detection, and accommodations designed to support residents with hearing impairments. Private or semi-private suites with accessible bathrooms are offered, along with a variety of shared spaces, including a private dining area for family gatherings and a landscaped outdoor courtyard with walking paths.
Support services include respite stays, medication supervision, assistance with activities of daily living, housekeeping and laundry, transportation scheduling, and organized recreational, social, and religious programming. The Phoenix Wing also provides dedicated memory care services for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Its location also offers moderate walkability, with some nearby errands and services accessible on foot.
For families exploring memory care, respite support, or long-term assisted living in the Smithville area, The Webb House Retirement Center’s combination of extensive amenities, safety features, and established local presence makes it a distinctive option worth considering.
