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.
