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.

Assisted living includes help with daily tasks, while independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care. Skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock, and hospice care includes general inpatient hospice services.

Having several care levels may make Richland Place a good fit for a resident whose needs grow over time, since care can continue within the community as those needs change. The community opened in 1993 and has 30 beds, creating a smaller setting where staff and residents can get to know each other. Richland Place operates the community, and Hunter Blake Harris serves as administrator.

The starting price is $15,000, but the available facts do not connect that amount to a specific care level or explain what it includes. Payment options are Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, giving families several stated ways to cover care depending on eligibility and financial resources. Total nurse staffing is 3h 19m per resident per day, representing the daily nursing time allocated to each resident.

Residents can use the swimming pool, salon, barber, spa, and rehabilitation services without arranging those features elsewhere. Restaurant style dining includes a chef prepared meal, while lunch and dinner are available for an additional charge. Residents with special dietary needs can receive meal ordering advice from the dining manager or staff dietitian.

Pets are allowed. Planned social engagements, recreational activities, and special activities give residents scheduled ways to participate in community programming.

Overview of The Health Center at Richland Place

The Health Center at Richland Place offers skilled nursing, assisted living, and independent living in Nashville, Tennessee.

Several care levels may suit a resident whose needs could grow over time without requiring a move to another community.

Respite care and short term rehabilitation are available for temporary stays. Respite can help when a usual caregiver needs time away, while rehabilitation supports a resident who needs recovery before returning to a prior living arrangement. Rehabilitation services give residents recovery focused support as part of their care.

The community has 107 beds, with total nurse staffing of 4 hours and 28 minutes per resident each day, representing the combined daily nursing time assigned per resident. Medicare and private pay are accepted, giving families two payment routes for eligible services and stays.
