Overview of The Village at Germantown

The Village at Germantown offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing in Germantown, TN. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication. Memory care is provided in a secured setting with supervision, and skilled nursing includes licensed nursing care on site around the clock, so a resident’s care can continue within the community as needs grow. The range may suit someone who wants independent living now or may need assisted living, memory care, or skilled nursing over time.

The 60 bed community is administered by Julie Elizabeth Repking. Total nurse staffing is 6 hours and 50 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands on nursing time assigned to each resident. Medicare and private pay are accepted. Medicare can cover short term skilled care after a hospital stay, while private pay means the family pays directly.

Therapy and rehabilitation are available on site, so residents can receive rehabilitation services without arranging outside transportation. Three on site restaurants, including the Monarch Fine Dining Room, Café Bistro, and Polo Lounge & Grille, provide dining choices within the community. A fitness center, heated saltwater pool, gardens, courtyards, walking paths, putting green, and outdoor firepits support exercise and time outdoors, while scheduled transportation serves medical appointments, shopping, and educational and cultural events.

Respite care is available, including 10 free days each year in the Healthcare Center. Families therefore have a short term care option when a usual caregiver needs time away. A Walk Score of 63 means the area is somewhat walkable, with some errands possible on foot for a resident who wants limited access to nearby destinations without driving.

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 297 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.
