The Rutherford Assisted Living offers a warm, welcoming community where the atmosphere is reminiscent of family, supported by a team of experienced caregivers. This senior residence is dedicated to nurturing the body, mind, and spirit of each individual. The building is thoughtfully designed with unique spaces, such as a second-floor landing that overlooks the grand room, where residents can find comfort in plush chairs as the gentle melodies of a grand piano play softly in the background. Residents are invited to choose from a range of comfortable studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom suite apartments, each providing a private haven to personalize and make truly their own. Cozy fireplaces serve as gathering spots during the colder months, while a gazebo offers a tranquil setting for residents to enjoy the fresh air and leisurely moments sipping lemonade in the summertime.
At The Rutherford Assisted Living, support is tailored to each resident’s needs, ensuring the right level of assistance from a knowledgeable staff. The community is enriched by a vibrant calendar of seasonal activities, compassionate caregivers, and an emphasis on culinary experiences available throughout the day. This approach makes senior living much more than a traditional nursing home—it becomes a place where residents continue to live life with enthusiasm and spirit. The strong sense of community encourages the development of meaningful friendships, and the mission-inspired, relationship-centered approach fosters an environment where everyone is seen as having gifts to share and dreams to pursue.
Located in Murfreesboro, at the heart of the Volunteer State, The Rutherford Assisted Living is surrounded by the charm and rich history of the city, with its picturesque downtown, boutiques, cafes, and notable landmarks like the Rutherford County Courthouse and Oaklands Mansion. Residents also benefit from being just a short distance from the Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital, providing convenient access to advanced healthcare services when needed. For those seeking short-term stays, the residence accommodates individuals needing care following a hospital stay or when their regular caregivers need a respite. Private and semi-private room options include services such as meals, medication assistance, help with activities of daily living, laundry, housekeeping, health care supervision, and recreational activities.
The Rutherford Assisted Living recognizes that support needs may change over time, which is why it offers the Transitions Memory Care Program—an innovative addition in the continuum of care. This program provides a supportive, structured environment for individuals with early to moderate stage dementia, particularly those who require more reminders and guidance than are available in the typical Personal Care setting, yet do not require the more intensive support of the Sage Memory Care unit. Through this and all of its services, the residence aims to empower residents to live fulfilling lives, supported by trained staff available around the clock and a commitment to individualized care and dignity for all.
