Bellwood Assisted Living sits over in Lebanon, Tennessee, providing assisted living for adults aged 55 and older who want to keep their independence but could use some help with daily needs. Residents get private rooms or suites, and some units give the option for a small kitchenette, letting each person feel at home in their own space. Meals are provided every day, so no one has to worry about spending too much time cooking or cleaning up, and the country cooking gets mentioned often. Trained staff, many who've worked there a long time, are around 24 hours a day to help with things like bathing, dressing, medication reminders, and moving from bed to wheelchair if needed. Folks get help with diabetes monitoring and can expect staff to give standby assistance during transfers while needing to take care of incontinence themselves if that's a concern. Bellwood offers a medium care level, and everyone who lives there receives this support.
The community gives an easy way to meet others, with indoor common areas, scheduled activities, and regular social events. There's a cozy, smaller feel to the place, where staff and residents often describe the atmosphere as friendly, almost like family. The owner and administrator, Megan Tayes, brings over 20 years of experience, making sure things run smoothly with kindness and attention. Every person has a care plan tailored to what they need, whether it's extra help every day or a bit more freedom. Amenities like Wi-Fi, handicap access, and reliable transportation make life more convenient. Residents can use complimentary transportation to get out into town, see local attractions, or attend offsite devotional services.
There are special touches such as the Teacher Grant Program and participation in Wilson Books from Birth, showing Bellwood's commitment to the greater community. Families note that the staff go out of their way to answer questions and stay supportive. Hospice care is an option for those who need it, and certified nursing assistant training is offered within the facility. Bellwood Assisted Living operates with a philosophy of safety, privacy, and respect, focusing on simple comforts and dignity for seniors. Reviewers and awards praise the high quality of care, especially the long-standing culture of friendliness. Bellwood has been open since 2018, striving to keep things straightforward, with a welcoming and supportive environment where everyone can feel secure and cared for.
