Owned by Frank Gattuso, Ave Maria Home is a skilled nursing facility on the outskirts of Bartlett, Tennessee. Its location on Charles Bryan Road is in a somewhat walkable neighborhood where some errands can be handled on foot. However, most outings will require a car. The 100-bed facility accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay, providing multiple ways for families managing short-term rehabilitation and longer-term nursing care.
The home has an occupancy rate of 93%. Residents stay an average of 160 days, which reflects both post-acute rehabilitation patients and those receiving ongoing skilled nursing. Residents are supported by registered nurses, nursing aides, and LPN/LVNs throughout the day. Nursing aides provide the bulk of hands-on personal care at over 4 hours per resident daily.
Ave Maria’s service portfolio centers on rehabilitation and long-term skilled nursing. It includes a dedicated Alzheimer’s and memory care program for residents with cognitive concerns. Short-term rehabilitation is a significant part of the facility’s work, making it a great choice for patients recovering from surgery, injury, or a hospital stay who need structured therapy and medical oversight as they recover.
Residents receive three meals served in private dining rooms, transportation services for medical appointments and shopping, and a beauty shop on-site. The facility also offers wellness checks and works with families to develop personalized care plans. Pastoral care is available for residents seeking spiritual support. With these services, the full-service environment provides many of the needs of residents without leaving the community.
Ave Maria Home is administered by Emmanuel Wilson.
