The Rutherford Memory Care offers a warm and nurturing environment for seniors living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. Dedicated to providing exceptional support tailored to the unique needs of each resident, the team at The Rutherford Memory Care crafts personalized care plans that respect the individual’s life story and current abilities.

Situated just southeast of Nashville in Murfreesboro, a city steeped in Southern charm and historical significance, The Rutherford Memory Care is surrounded by the rich culture and captivating landmarks that make the area unique. Historic sites such as the Rutherford County Courthouse and Oaklands Mansion, along with abundant arts and recreational opportunities, provide a bright backdrop for family visits and resident outings. Additionally, peace of mind comes from knowing that advanced healthcare services at Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital are just a short distance away.
A hallmark of The Rutherford Memory Care is its Sage Program, which embodies the care center’s mission to create meaningful interactions with residents through compassionate and relationship-centered care. The Sage Trained Employees are passionate about honoring each individual, working hand-in-hand with the resident’s memories and abilities to foster a sense of belonging and purpose. Through engaging daily programming, residents are encouraged to participate in activities that are stimulating and bring joy, supporting cognitive function and emotional well-being. The Sage Memory Care unit also extends respite and short-term care, offering families vital support when a loved one needs extra care after a hospital stay or when regular caregivers require a break.
To further provide for the diverse needs of those experiencing memory loss, The Rutherford Memory Care has introduced the Transitions Memory Care Program. This innovative program serves as a bridge for individuals with early to moderate-stage dementia who need more structure and reminders than what is typically offered in a personal care living community but do not yet need the higher level of support provided in the Sage Memory Care unit. Transitions Memory Care ensures these residents find a supportive environment tailored to their specific stage and needs, gently guiding them through the continuum of care.
Life at The Rutherford Memory Care is enriched by a full calendar of activities that engage residents physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. The staff are present on-site 24 hours a day, always ready to respond to the needs of the community. Deep, meaningful bonds of friendship are cultivated among residents, reinforcing the belief that everyone—regardless of age or stage of memory loss—has gifts to share and dreams to pursue. At The Rutherford Memory Care, residents and their families discover not just a place to live, but a community where life is celebrated every day.
