Park Manor sits close to Nashville's Belle Meade area and has been serving seniors for over 50 years, with monthly assisted living rates from $3,950 up to $8,950 and a rent-only setup that covers meals, activities, and basic services, and folks can pick from studios, semi-private, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments, some with balconies that let you enjoy their seven-acre wooded campus. The building's set up for easy living, with apartments featuring wall-to-wall carpet or flooring, individual heat and air controls, kitchens with a microwave and fridge, fire- and sound-resistant walls, and safety features like emergency pull cords and grab bars in the bathrooms. They've got landscaped courtyards, vegetable gardens, beehives, and outdoor spaces for relaxing or dining, so you get some of that fresh air and see a bit of nature and, for those who like to mingle, they've got an on-site beauty shop for men and women, a fitness room, a stocked library, card and game rooms, and computer access in common areas.
The community covers a full range of senior living options, including Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care under the name Abe's Garden, Home Health, Hospice, and At-Home Care, so you can stay put as your needs change. There's always staff awake and ready for emergencies, with nurses on-site, a full-time registered nurse leading care teams, and visiting therapists for foot care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, plus specialists like audiologists, dentists, and nurse practitioners who come to the campus. They offer diabetic care, help with blood sugar monitoring, non-ambulatory support with transferring, bathing, dressing, hygiene, medication management, but residents need to handle their own incontinence care and staff doesn't give insulin shots. Most residents need only light or medium care, and everyone has to be 55 or older.
Meals come included, served in a renovated, restaurant-style dining room with friendly service and, when the weather's nice, there's outdoor seating in the courtyard. Park Manor has activities every day, with a resident team that keeps a busy calendar with movement, social events, learning opportunities, and community groups like the Abe's Garden Community Group for those with early-stage dementia and lifelong learning programs for everyone. Their focus on memory support is part of their Center of Excellence with personalized dementia care, a memory day program, home care support called Abe's Garden at Home, and regular training for staff based on research and best practices through their work with the Hearthstone Institute.
People can smoke outside but not indoors. There's parking for residents, free transportation services, and a property convenient to bus routes. The whole place was Nashville's very first retirement living community and maintains an elegant, warm family feel, offering a safe, secure place where seniors can age in place, whether you stick to independent living, move into assisted living, or need the specialized support from Abe's Garden for Alzheimer's and dementia. Families are welcome to take a tour, meet staff, and see the apartments, grounds, and all the amenities that add up to a simple, supportive environment for older adults.
