Knowles Home Assisted Living sits in Nashville, Tennessee, run by the Metropolitan Hospital Authority, and the place has over 100 beds set up for seniors who need extra help but don't need full-time nursing care, and that's nice because you'll find a full-time medical director with years of experience in gerontology and nurse practitioners around for clinical care and ongoing health checks. Folks can get assisted living, memory care, independent living, and even nursing home programs depending on their situation, plus adult day care for those who just want services during the day, and it runs under the Wheal Model of Service, which means each person's care can be set up to match their personal needs with guidance from care teams, doctors, social workers, dieticians, the client, and their families. Rooms can be private or shared, all come with utilities except the phone and cable, and there's a 24-hour emergency response system in every one, so you've got the safety net right there if you need it. You'll see full-time and part-time licensed nurses, on-site medical consulting, nurse supervision, medication management, health education, and regular health evaluation, plus lab work and prescription delivery handled on-site.
The meals are something to talk about, with a chef preparing three balanced dishes every day and restaurant-style dining, and special diets can be worked out for those who need them-snacks included, all tasty and nutritious, so you don't have to worry if you have restrictions. Workers take care of housekeeping and linen service, and the buildings have lots of clean, bright activity and TV rooms, an inviting chapel with lots of sunlight, and five pleasant outdoor courtyards for those nice days when you just want to sit outside or walk around. Social, spiritual, educational, and recreational activities go on all week-and you'll see things like exercise classes, card games, an on-site movie theater, worship services, and outings scheduled by the staff. There's always a full, trained team on site.
You'll get Ageility physical therapy on-site if you need rehabilitation or help with movement, plus speech and occupational therapists and counseling services if that's needed, with care to help folks stay as independent as possible. Transportation is set up for medical trips, errands, outings, and community events, and if you'd like to visit hair or barber services, those are right here too. People can use the internet in common areas, and there's always someone to lend a hand but also make sure privacy and respect come first. So all in all, this is a state-licensed place designed for adults who need support with daily life or have chronic illness or disability, with social comforts and medical care right on hand, not fancy, but steady and earnest, the way people like it.
