The Pavilion Senior Living Smyrna serves seniors who need extra help with daily activities and offers care for residents with memory loss like Alzheimer's and other types of dementia, and the community has 92 apartments, with 68 for assisted living and 24 set aside for memory care, so there's a range of support depending on each person's needs, and residents get 24-hour supervision with certified staff always on duty to help with bathing, dressing, or taking medicine, while the memory care program includes tailored routines and activities focused on safety and keeping skills sharp, as well as spaces specially designed for comfort and familiarity, like a memory care sitting area with armchairs and a bookcase. Meals come from a professional chef and are served in an elegant dining room with allergy and diabetes-friendly choices, plus vegetarian options, and there's a popular assisted living coffee and beverage bar with Folgers coffee and refreshments. Apartments are comfortable, including private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, telephones, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and emergency alert systems for peace of mind, and there's housekeeping, laundry service, and all utilities included, so residents don't need to worry about chores.
The community has lots of spaces for relaxing and meeting others, such as a Florida Room, a movie theater with reclining chairs, a library, a TV lounge with a fireplace, a game room, and a garden for walking or sitting, as well as an enclosed courtyard and porches with rocking chairs. Residents can join community-sponsored outings, art and music programs, games, fitness or wellness activities, and devotional services both on and off site, helping everyone stay active and connected, plus short-term respite care is available through the Guestpitality program for families who need a break. The staff members, including Certified Nursing Assistants and a dedicated team led by administrator Jennifer Langford, provide care that covers physical, emotional, and spiritual needs while always aiming for kindness and patience. Special training helps staff deliver reminiscence therapy and support for those with dementia, and the building's design-like a welcoming living room with a fireplace, an elegant staircase, and plenty of natural light-adds to an inviting, safe feel. Suites for assisted living include cozy features like a recliner, TV, wall art, and comfortable beds, and the on-site salon offers hair styling with all the usual equipment.
The Pavilion Senior Living Smyrna is licensed and regularly checked by the State of Tennessee, and the community's received recognition for having high-quality care and engaging activities, and there's easy access for wheelchairs, pet access, and parking. Transportation for errands or outings is available, either complimentary or at an extra charge, and residents can attend a full calendar of social, educational, and entertainment activities. There's a focus on encouraging independence, so the care team works with each resident to set up personalized plans built around their skills, routines, and what makes them comfortable-whether that's health needs, social interests, spiritual activities, or life enrichment opportunities-and seniors can count on safety features like secure spaces for those in memory care and emergency call systems throughout the building. Meals are nutritious, adjusted for dietary needs, and prepared with quality ingredients to support health, and residents over 55 can find companionship, comfort, and activities that add purpose to every day while skilled nursing and rehabilitation are also available if needed. As part of the larger Tennessee Health Care Association, with connections to nurse training and education programs, the Pavilion does its best to help seniors feel safe, valued, and as independent as possible, with a staff that understands the ups and downs of later life.
