Pet therapy is offered. Dining is described as fine dining with gourmet menus. Residents have access to an outdoor courtyard, manicured gardens, a family and resident lounge, in-room cable, and WiFi. The facility accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay.

State inspections have tended to focus on medication management, infection prevention and control, fall and injury prevention, care planning and documentation, resident rights and protections, staffing and staff credentials, environmental and hazardous-materials safety, and housekeeping and upkeep; a wide range of operational areas.

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 273 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.
