Overview of Smith County Health and Rehabilitation

Carthage Opco operates Smith County Health and Rehabilitation, and Casey Lynn Malone administers it. The home holds just 34 beds in Carthage, Tennessee, with memory care and skilled nursing on the license, in addition to nursing home care. A building this size means a short list of names for anyone to learn, whether resident or staff.

Memory care is supervision for a person who’s at risk of walking out the door unsupervised. Before that step, the caring has usually taken over a spouse’s whole day, with not much time left that belongs to them. Licensed nursing covers a Sunday afternoon and the middle of a Wednesday night alike.

Post-operative Rehab, Inpatient/Outpatient Therapies, IV therapy, and Long- and Short-Term Care are the place’s named programs. Antibiotics running on a drip for six weeks is a nursing job, and not one a family should be expected to be able to handle. Therapy is available to someone staying here and to someone coming in for it without a bed.

Arts and crafts, hands-on cooking, gardening, and church services fill the ordinary week. A nurse practitioner works in-house, which puts an advanced clinician on site rather than on call. Each resident’s day has a share of the nursing time totalling 3 hours and 30 minutes across the day.

All three payment routes are open here. The area scores 45 for walking, and it counts as car-dependent, so most errands will need a ride there and back. Someone who has stopped driving will need help to get around outside.

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.
