Overview of Ave Maria Home Assisted Living
Ave Maria Home Assisted Living is a nonprofit senior living community in Bartlett, Tennessee, that offers assisted living, memory care, rehabilitation, skilled nursing, and pastoral care. Operating since 2000, the community has more than 26 years of experience providing residential care and healthcare services within a faith-based environment. With a 101-bed capacity, the community serves older adults throughout the greater Memphis and Shelby County region.
Care options include assisted living support, long-term skilled nursing care, short-term rehabilitation, and specialized Alzheimer’s and dementia care through St. Luke’s Cottage, the community’s dedicated memory care program. Rehabilitation therapies, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, are also available onsite. Pastoral care, religious programming, volunteer involvement, and family-centered care are also available.
Clinical staffing levels are a notable feature of the community, with licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants on-site. Additionally, publicly reported nurse staffing hours are substantially higher than the Tennessee state average, reflecting a stronger level of direct clinical support and supervision than many comparable communities. The community also accepts both Medicare and Medicaid, broadening access for residents with varying financial and healthcare coverage needs.
Amenities and support services include three daily meals served in private dining spaces, transportation for medical appointments and shopping, wellness monitoring, as well as shared activities and volunteer programs.
Regulatory records from the Tennessee Department of Health and CMS inspection data reflect a mixed compliance history over recent years. A total of 18 deficiencies have been recorded across multiple inspections. The most serious finding occurred during a March 2024 complaint investigation involving accident hazard supervision and resident safety, resulting in an immediate jeopardy citation, financial penalties, and a payment suspension.
Earlier inspections also identified concerns related to infection control, medication storage, care planning, food safety, resident rights, and assessment procedures. Reported corrective actions were implemented following these inspections. Additionally, the most recent standard inspection available was conducted in May 2025, which falls outside the usual inspection timeframe.
With a combination of faith-based programming, above-average nursing support, integrated memory care, and multi-level healthcare services, Ave Maria Home Assisted Living is a distinctive option within the Bartlett and Memphis senior living market. It is also a practical option for older adults with evolving medical or cognitive care needs who would benefit from remaining within one community over time, particularly families who value spiritual support alongside clinical care and rehabilitation services.
