Overview of Belmont Village Memphis

Twenty-eight years on N Quail Hollow Road gives Belmont Village Memphis a kind of institutional steadiness that newer communities are still earning. The 120-bed assisted living and memory care facility sits in a moderately walkable Memphis neighborhood (Walk Score 55), close enough to daily errands for some but still car-dependent for most. It is part of the Belmont Village operating group.

The building runs at 85% occupancy, with 102 of its 120 beds currently filled. Studios and one-bedrooms are the available formats across three stories. Around-the-clock coverage by licensed nurses and CNAs is the staffing baseline, with on-site rehabilitation, respite stays, and short-term placements rounding out the service menu. Memory care is a distinct offering here, and the Whole Brain Fitness program gives that population a structured cognitive framework rather than a generalized activity calendar.

On the lifestyle side, the setup is reasonably complete. Restaurant-style dining with chef-prepared meals, a supervised fitness center, a bistro with daily refreshments, a full salon, free daily scheduled transportation, and a pet-friendly policy cover most of what residents and families look for in this category.

Belmont Village Memphis serves two distinct populations: assisted living residents who need consistent daily support, and people living with dementia who benefit from a purpose-built memory care program in a community that has been doing this long enough to have worked out the operational details.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care 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.

Does Tennessee Medicaid cover memory care?

Tennessee Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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 memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 272 memory care communities in Tennessee. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community 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 memory care communities 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.
