Overview of The Reserve at Spring Hill

The Reserve at Spring Hill is a private 30-bed nursing and rehab center run by administrator Julie Bellar and Hoosier Care, Inc. Opened in 2018 as part of the HutsonWood brand, the building is set up for short-term recovery and accepts only Medicare and private-pay residents. The client mix is 62% private-pay and 38% Medicare, with residents staying an average of 34 days. You’ll find it about 12 miles outside the city center in an area with a Walk Score of 4, meaning it requires a car. The facility has grown its occupancy to 74.8% and brought in $633 thousand in net income for 2024 on $9.2 million in revenue.

Government health logs show excellent staffing numbers, including a 5.73 staff-to-resident ratio that ranks first in Tennessee. Total daily nursing care adds up to about five hours per resident, led by strong LPN coverage at 2 hours and 1 minute and nurse aides at 2 hours and 46 minutes, which helps cover for a slight dip in daily RN hours. Clinical records show great outcomes: permanent residents have zero documented depression and very low rates of pressure ulcers or functional decline.

On the short-term rehab side, the facility records zero major injuries from falls and a 69.2% successful community discharge rate, easily beating the state average. The property also has a clean regulatory record with zero federal fines or penalties over the last three years.

Families checking out local short-term rehab spots can look over these public records to gauge how the building operates day-to-day. Since the state data highlights the highest staffing ratios in Tennessee, zero recent fines, and great physical recovery numbers, the paperwork points to a very stable, well-supported setup.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Tennessee

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Tennessee?

Assisted living in Tennessee supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Tennessee?

Assisted living in Tennessee is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Tennessee Medicaid cover assisted living?

Tennessee Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Tennessee) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 449 assisted living facilities in Tennessee. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Tennessee?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Tennessee, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Tennessee?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
