Barton House Memory Care sits on 3.5 wooded acres in the Bellevue area of Nashville, Tennessee, with a peaceful and safe neighborhood. Barton House Memory Care has a large, single-story building with 20 private rooms, where every room opens to a central gathering space that feels home-like and easy to move around in. The community was purpose-built for people living with dementia and Alzheimer's, with secured doors, alarm bracelets to prevent wandering, and a layout that helps residents feel safe and less confused. Residents live in a setting that's not fancy but feels more like a regular home, with spaces like a formal living room, open dining room, activity area, and a kitchen bar for snacks and group activities, along with outdoor and indoor common areas. The grounds have tall trees, and the whole place aims to give comfort, independence, and a peaceful feeling to residents.
Staff members are awake around the clock, with a nurse there, a doctor on call, and caregivers trained to work with difficult behaviors or exit-seeking habits. Monthly dementia training for staff helps make care safe and up-to-date. Barton House Memory Care offers services suited for those needing help with memory loss, including personalized plans, therapies, diabetes support, help with daily needs, and even care for people who sometimes struggle with aggression or incontinence if they can manage it themselves. The community can provide both hospice and respite care for short-term stays, and it tries to support residents as their needs change over time, so they can remain in place.
Barton House Memory Care's meals use quality ingredients and focus on nutrition and dietary needs, with shared dining and a kitchen that encourages activity and togetherness. Residents and families appreciate the supportive programs, including family support groups, devotional services, and activities that fill days with meaningful moments, aiming to keep minds active and spirits up, focusing on what people can do instead of what they can't. Executive Director Elizabeth Garton Masic leads with a belief in dignity, patience, and always trying to connect with each resident in ways that matter, practicing transparency and good humor.
