Stone River Post Acute is a nursing home in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, providing skilled nursing care, short-term rehabilitation, temporary respite stays, and memory care programs. With a valid license through June 2026, this community has been operating since its initial licensure in May 1996, under the ownership of Murfreesboro SNF Healthcare, LLC. Medicare is accepted, while private accommodations can be requested.
The community recently underwent a comprehensive rebranding and ownership transition, having previously operated as AHC Northside under the American Health Communities network. This structural shift is visibly reflected in the public oversight documentation. The most recent official CMS standard health review took place on October 7, 2021, a timeline that falls significantly past the typical 9 to 15-month regulatory schedule.
Daily life within the neighborhood features dietitian-supervised meal planning alongside a diverse activities calendar that includes organized field trips, group social gatherings, and live musical entertainment. For business inquiries and admissions, the main administrative offices remain open from Monday through Friday, from 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. Furthermore, the surrounding neighborhood is highly car-dependent and carries a Walk Score of 5, meaning the vast majority of personal errands and visits will necessitate a vehicle.

The living environment consists of a blend of individual and shared suites that include personal bathrooms and a variety of features, including a modern therapy gym, outdoor garden areas, and a dining hall serving meals designed by a registered dietitian. Transportation and group trips are provided, and licensed medical staff remains on the premises 24/7. Its placement near Cookeville Regional Medical Center also establishes it as a convenient destination for those moving out of acute hospital settings.

The community provides both traditional assisted living and dedicated memory care services for older adults living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Medication management, assistance with activities of daily living, diabetic support, ambulatory care, and incontinence care are also provided, along with 24-hour staffing.
The memory care program is structured to create a calm and secure environment that helps reduce confusion and anxiety for residents with cognitive impairment. Secured living areas, consistent caregiver assignments, and slower-paced daily routines are key elements of the program’s design. Familiarity and routine are also highlighted, appealing to families seeking a more personal and relationship-focused memory care setting.
The physical environment reflects a traditional residential style, with a ranch-style red brick exterior and warm Southern-inspired interiors. Amenities include restaurant-style dining with three daily meals, housekeeping and laundry services, transportation for appointments and outings, salon and barber services, Wi-Fi access, and shared lounge spaces, along with a dedicated wellness and activities director.
Affordability is one of the community’s more notable advantages within the Newport market, with pricing reportedly below many comparable senior living options in the surrounding area. Its location, less than a mile from Tennova Healthcare Newport Medical Center, makes it a practical option for residents who require ongoing medical appointments or hospital access.

Renaissance Terrace has been part of Knoxville’s senior care landscape for 55 years now, a long run by any standard in this field. The 50-bed nursing home sits on Bearden Pl in a genuinely walkable stretch of the city. A Walk Score of 74 means most errands, a pharmacy trip, a coffee, whatever, don’t require a car at all.
Beyond nursing home care, Renaissance Terrace also covers assisted living, independent living, and memory care, so the building serves a fairly wide range of needs under one roof. It’s a mid-rise with private rooms, which matters if privacy is high on your list. The resident mix here leans toward both ends of the care spectrum: short-term rehab stays after a hospital visit, and long-term residents settling in for the long haul. The average length of stay runs 462 days, well past a year, which tells you long-term care is doing a lot of the work here.
On staffing, nurse aides provide the bulk of hands-on care, clocking in at 2 hours and 7 minutes per resident each day. Add in RN and LPN time, and total nursing care lands around 2 hours and 49 minutes per resident per day. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted, which opens up more than one path for families figuring out how to pay for this.
Pets are welcome here, and residents have access to transportation services and a fitness and recreation program, both useful in a location that’s otherwise easy to get around on foot anyway. Senior Citizens Home Assistance Service runs the building, with Katelyn Bray as administrator and Tim Howell as CEO. Taken together, the decades of operation, the long average stay, and the four-care-type range point to a facility built for residents who need somewhere stable to land, not just pass through.

The community offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care services, allowing residents to access varying levels of support within one campus environment.

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.
