Overview of Harmony at Bellevue

Harmony at Bellevue sits at 8234 Tn-100 in the Bellevue neighborhood of Nashville, a three-story, 110-bed community that’s been open about five years. Jake Rightmyer administers the property, which is legally operated by Bellevue Opco Tenant LLC. The neighborhood is somewhat walkable, with a Walk Score of 49, so a few errands are doable on foot but most trips still need a car.

96 of the 110 beds are filled for an 87% occupancy rate; that’s a fairly full building. Residents choose from studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom units, depending on how much space they want.

Nursing services and 24-hour staffing are on-site, paired with rehabilitation services and respite care. Assisted living, independent living, and memory care are all offered under one roof.

There’s a movie theater, a bistro, a library, and a game room, plus a walking path through the grounds for anyone who wants fresh air. Pets are welcome too, which removes one of the harder tradeoffs families sometimes face when a parent moves out of a house they’ve shared with a dog or cat for years.

Harmony at Bellevue is a newer build with real medical infrastructure (nursing staff, rehab, respite) wrapped around a genuinely social floor plan.

Overview of Knowles Assisted Living

Since 1992, Knowles Assisted Living has operated as a 100-bed long-term assisted living community in Nashville’s Bordeaux Hills. The publicly owned facility, run by The Metropolitan Government of Nashville under administrator Deborah Neal, serves residents requiring daily assistance with a model oriented toward extended, stable placement rather than temporary or rehabilitation stays. Current residents number 69, with an average tenure of more than seven years.

Residents access licensed nursing and physician care on-site, alongside prescription services, health education, and laboratory capabilities. Staff include registered nurses and certified aides. In 2024, the community admitted 12 new residents; 17 left during the year, with the majority (12) discharged to hospital settings and a smaller number (5) to private homes. This discharge pattern reflects the acuity and medical complexity of the long-term resident population.

The community’s demographic profile is notably diverse: 59.4% of residents identify as Black, 39.1% as White, with gender split nearly even. Median resident age clusters in the 65–74 range. The facility provides private and semi-private rooms, with daily housekeeping, nutritious meals tailored to individual dietary needs, and an attractive dining venue. Outdoor courtyards and activity areas anchor community life; pastoral care and psychological counseling round out support. Weekly recreational and spiritual programs engage residents.

Located in Bordeaux Hills, the facility sits 4.0 miles from downtown Nashville and 2.55 miles from Nashville General Hospital; accessible by car, though the neighborhood itself scores low on walkability (Walk Score 4).
