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.
