Overview of Harmony at Bellevue

Harmony at Bellevue sits at 8234 Tn-100 in the Bellevue neighborhood of Nashville, a three-story, 110-bed community that’s been open about five years. Jake Rightmyer administers the property, which is legally operated by Bellevue Opco Tenant LLC. The neighborhood is somewhat walkable, with a Walk Score of 49, so a few errands are doable on foot but most trips still need a car.

96 of the 110 beds are filled for an 87% occupancy rate; that’s a fairly full building. Residents choose from studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom units, depending on how much space they want.

Nursing services and 24-hour staffing are on-site, paired with rehabilitation services and respite care. Assisted living, independent living, and memory care are all offered under one roof.

There’s a movie theater, a bistro, a library, and a game room, plus a walking path through the grounds for anyone who wants fresh air. Pets are welcome too, which removes one of the harder tradeoffs families sometimes face when a parent moves out of a house they’ve shared with a dog or cat for years.

Harmony at Bellevue is a newer build with real medical infrastructure (nursing staff, rehab, respite) wrapped around a genuinely social floor plan.

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.
