Ivy Crest Assisted Living LLC sits at 101 Ivy Lane in Pulaski, Tennessee, and has been caring for seniors since it opened its doors on January 1, 1998, which means for 27 years they've served people in the community with a strong focus on comfort and safety, and what stands out here is it's a licensed adult family home with room for 24 residents and a warm, family-like setting where no one's in a rush and everyone can take their time with daily routines. They've got an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau in Middle Tennessee, though they're not BBB accredited, but they do meet all state requirements and they're regulated by the Department of Social Services, sticking to caregiver-to-senior ratios and offering around-the-clock supervision, which gives some extra peace of mind.
Here, every senior gets three homemade meals a day, and they can ask for changes in their meal plans if they need to watch things like salt for high blood pressure or sugar for diabetes, and there's always help at hand with bathing, dressing, medication, and just about any basic daily task you can think of. Staff offer friendly reminders and gentle help, even for folks who need insulin shots, two-person transfers, or 24-hour awake care, and there's hospice, respite, and full memory care services available if times get tough. Folks who live here usually pay privately, use long-term care insurance, or use Veterans Aid and Attendance, and Medicare isn't accepted unless certified by CMS, with assisted living fees starting at $3,000 a month, though costs change based on care needs, room choices, and specific amenities.
The building looks after safety with emergency alerts, 24-hour fire detection, and a centrally monitored call system, plus there's a unique two-way communication setup so residents can reach staff whenever they need help. Everyone gets a fully furnished space, and the rooms feel homelike, with privacy and personal touches encouraged. There's always something going on, from crafts, country drives, and community movie nights with popcorn, to garden walks among grapevines and raised beds for folks who want to get their hands dirty. They even have feathered friends and a resident dog, which brings a homey and friendly feeling to the place, and monthly Spotlights let residents choose the menu for a day and invite family or guests for a free meal, which is something people here seem to really enjoy.
Scheduled activities range from music, art, devotion times, exercise, bingo, and religious services, to trips out for shopping, lunch, or doctor visits, and the staff coordinate transportation as needed, helping folks keep up with business or pleasure appointments, errands, and even outings to local attractions and community events. There's a traveling hairdresser, regular spa days, and programs with students from local schools, so plenty of visitors come and go. Ivy Crest keeps things running smoothly with complete building maintenance, routine laundry, and regular housekeeping, all backed up by a team of trained caregivers and staff who get to know each resident and make sure everyone has the help they need.
Sunrooms and front porches give residents places to relax and visit, and the garden and walking paths offer peace and quiet when someone wants a bit of fresh air. Folks here can enjoy personal independence, privacy, and choice, but there's always a caregiver nearby offering support with showers, grooming, and whatever else is needed to keep up a good quality of life. Ivy Crest Assisted Living LLC stays focused on compassion and kindness, mixing a steady routine with enough activities and company to help folks feel right at home.
