Open Arms Care

Open Arms Care in Nolensville, TN sits at 2020 Johnson Industrial Blvd and runs as a residential care home serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and the place is pretty well known for taking care of a mix of needs by offering nursing care, convalescent services, and housing options all in one spot, plus they go ahead and tailor care for each person depending on what they need, so some get more involved with medical and nursing services, occupational and physical therapy, speech therapy, and of course they make room for recreation and social activities, which can help people stay involved with the community or develop life skills if that's their goal, and the caregivers work hard to be compassionate and keep the environment feeling safe, supportive, and comfortable, which a lot of families seem to appreciate even though you won't find reviews published online yet. Open Arms Care has a laboratory on site called "Open Arms Care-The Enrichment Center" with S L Lampkin as the Lab Director, and that lab's been open for a couple of years now, helping support some of the residents' health needs. The home goes through regular safety and health inspections, since the place needs to follow state licensing rules, especially because they're considered an intermediate care facility under a special waiver program for developmental disabilities, and you'll find amenities set up to promote independence and comfort for people who want a bit more control over their daily lives, including a pet-friendly policy so residents can have their animals with them if that's important for day-to-day happiness. The place runs as part of a larger network-the American Network of Community Options and Resources, known as ANCOR-and Open Arms Care is part of about 32 intermediate care community homes in Tennessee, scattered around Chattanooga, Knoxville, and Memphis, so while it focuses on people with intellectual and developmental issues, some folks use it for regular senior care, things like assisted living, independent living, dementia or memory care, or just basic non-medical care and companionship. Specialists at Open Arms Care offer personalized plans, and there's a focus on balancing medical needs, social opportunity, and a good living environment, but like any place, you'll want to check availability and see what works since pricing isn't always posted, even though some sources say the average is about $275 in the area. The staff keep to a specific caregiver-to-senior ratio to meet state rules, and the operating hours are set up to support residents' needs every day of the week, opening early and closing later on weekdays, so you've got a fair chance at reaching someone if you need help or just want to see if the place feels right, and from all that's said, Open Arms Care keeps things straightforward, focusing on comprehensive support and an honest effort to make people feel at home no matter what level of care they might need.
