Harlan Morris Retirement Community sits in Trenton and can take care of up to 70 people, offering roomy suites and private bathrooms for folks who like a bit of their own space, and with its recent updates in 2023 the place feels new, secure, and fresh with modern safety improvements, and all these rooms are part of a licensed Residential Home for the Aged, so the State of Tennessee keeps an eye on things to make sure it stays up to proper standards. You'll find three home-cooked meals each day in the dining room or out on the porch, with snacks always around, and cooks can change meals if you need a special diet for things like diabetes or high blood pressure, and people can get help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, grooming, and using the bathroom whenever they ask. Every week, staff comes in to clean and give out fresh bedsheets and towels, with all the usual utilities and even internet taken care of, so residents don't have to worry about those bills piling up. The place supports independent living, assisted living, memory care for folks with Alzheimer's or other cognitive problems, short-term respite stays, and even hospice support for those approaching the end of life, plus if special health help for diabetes, high blood pressure, or other needs is required, qualified staff can step in if available.
The staff is there 24/7 and uses a quick emergency call system, and a beauty shop and traveling barber keep folks neat and tidy while everyone can enjoy a health area, relaxing steam room or hot tub, or sit outside in the garden. Residents join plenty of activities that help pass the time-things like music therapy, pet visits, movie nights, singing, games out in the game room, dominos, Uno, and crafts, plus weekend social nights or porch chats where folks share a laugh. There's also regular spiritual offerings and church services held each week, and those who want to can get help getting to appointments, shopping, or spiritual services in town-though this needs to be checked ahead of time.
People can take part in fitness and exercise classes, use the book room or relax on the porch, and many outings head to local attractions right in Trenton. The full-time, attentive staff keeps things comfortable and warm for everyone, and they're always around to make sure safety, security, and social connections stay strong, so folks really do get a sense of community without having to leave comfort behind.
