Southerland Place in Brentwood, Tennessee, sits on Winners Circle South and has a welcoming entrance where visitors find driving directions easily and the facility makes sure people know how to reach the place online. Southerland Place offers several levels of care including independent living, assisted living, and a memory care section that's in its own building, using technology like bracelets that alert staff if someone who tends to wander goes too far, which helps keep residents safe even if they forget their way. The staff always stays nearby, with nurses on duty and a doctor on call, and provides help day and night for residents needing standby help, one-person or two-person transfers, or even mechanical lifts, so nobody feels left without support. Residents who need incontinence care or diabetic care, blood sugar checks, insulin shots, and sliding scale therapy are looked after, and those with stronger needs-like those who may get physically aggressive or have other behavioral challenges-get specialized care from a staff that knows how to handle it gently and with patience.
The memory care building is secure and has its own setup to help those who forget things or might wander, and the apartments are spacious so everyone has room, with emergency call systems, wheelchair accessible showers, full tubs for easy bathing, and private places to relax. Housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance services help keep things in order, while the dining hall feels home-like with meals from a chef, and there are choices for special diets including gluten-free, low salt, vegan, and low sugar, and room service or private dining if someone wants to eat by themselves or with family, which helps if someone feels overwhelmed in a loud room. Pets mean a lot to people, and Southerland Place allows both cats and dogs, with extra help for caring for them if needed, and the community isn't against someone keeping their long-time friend close by. Staff provide help for everyday personal needs, keep the building secure at all hours, and transportation is offered either with complimentary rides or resident parking, so trips for errands, appointments, and outings go smoothly.
Activities are a big part of daily life here, with a full-time activity director planning indoor and outdoor events, classes like stretching and chair yoga, brain fitness groups, outings in the community, and devotional services held both onsite and offsite for those who want something meaningful in their week, and even when someone can't get around, they offer ways to stay virtually connected with family. Families who care for loved ones get help understanding long-term care, insurance, and caregiving too, since the staff tries to share clear information and expert guidance when life gets complicated. Southerland Place keeps a warm, steady routine, and supports aging in place, hospice, or respite stays, and no matter the needs, the goal stays focused on safety, health, and small comforts, like the salon, a beauty/barber shop, and events tailored to residents' preferences. Community life tries to keep things positive and include everyone, meeting each person at their level of need-whether light, medium, or heavy care-and there's always someone awake and ready to help, so residents and families get peace of mind, and nobody has to leave just because care needs go up. The staff, who aim to promote faith, hope, and love, respond with kindness and practical help, and the whole place revolves around giving older adults a steady, safe, and comfortable home as their needs shift over time.
