Clarendale at Indian Lake sits in Hendersonville, Tennessee, and has a friendly atmosphere that feels a lot like a little village made for seniors to enjoy their days with comfort and support, and when you walk around the grounds you'll see landscaped outdoor spaces with well-kept gardens, patios set up for relaxing, and even a little bridge over a river with trees all around, and residents often use the winding walking paths and sit outside in the courtyard, especially where the Memory Care folks can safely enjoy the fresh air and autumn colors. Inside, there are a range of living choices from independent apartments with full kitchens and washers and dryers, to assisted living suites where people get extra help with everyday things, all the way to memory care and skilled nursing if someone needs more hands-on care, so whether someone wants to keep their independence or needs a lot of assistance, they can usually find what works, and all of the apartment options feel airy, have modern appliances, and some even come with balconies or dens for a little extra space.
The Memory Care area is set up with open-concept living rooms and kitchens, comfy seating and stylish decorations that feel home-like, and balconies for those who want to step out, and you'll often find Memory Care residents in their own garden with safe pathways and places to sit and watch the seasons. Amenities like lounges, a well-stocked café, game rooms, and a movie theater with good seats and a popcorn machine are all around the building, and residents use these for cards, billiards, movies, snacks, and plenty of social time, and in the independent living section, the shared spaces use soft lights, good furniture, and simple decor to be pleasant without being overwhelming. The restaurant-style dining room serves chef-inspired meals, and the community also offers kitchens in the apartments, so people can cook for themselves, too, and there's always the option for snacks and drinks in the café. The whole place is set up to handle wheelchairs and walkers, there's good internet, and there's a calendar full of activities run by a Life Engagement Director, ranging from crafts to fitness or movie nights, so seniors have things to do most days, whether they want to socialize or keep busy on their own.
Care is available at many levels, with trained staff and licensed nurses on duty day and night, helping with medication, incontinence, bathing, and dressing, all while doing their best to treat residents with dignity, and the community supports people with Alzheimer's and dementia through the Heartfelt Connections-A Memory Care Program™, which focuses on each person's abilities and makes sure they stay connected and supported. The Health & Wellness Navigation Program™ helps with healthcare appointments and transportation, and the LifeSTYLE Promise® and Extraordinary Impressions® programs show that the facility tries to offer choices, good service, and tailored support. People can choose assisted living if they need help with daily living, or independent living if they just want a quiet place with chores and maintenance taken care of, and many choose the community because there's no large buy-in fee, only monthly rent, which starts at $4,410 for independent apartments or $6,620 for assisted living. The facility also offers adult day care, skilled nursing for those who need extra care, and everything is arranged so that residents can move between care types if their needs change.
Residents commonly say that the community feels warm, welcoming, and connected, with easy access to Hendersonville and Gallatin for outings or family visits, and the staff run a lot of programs to keep people engaged-there's always a craft class, card game, or social gathering-so the environment suits those who want to stay active or enjoy the company of others. While it's a large, busy place with many services and features, Clarendale at Indian Lake keeps things easy to navigate, comfortable, and focused on giving seniors a place where they can feel safe, valued, and at home while receiving the right amount of support for their needs.
