4.3 / 5.0

Southern Care is a great facility. The staff is very friendly and attentive. I would recommend them to a friend. They are cost-effective. My sister likes the food. They have a big porch with rockers in the front and other space in the back. The room sizes are of a good size.

4.3 / 5.0

It is really a nice place. The people are friendly. When we first moved in the food was really good it has steadily gone downhill. We are moving out because to the food. Many others have the same issue with the food. The room sizes are good.

Number of veterans who live in Nashville

About 22% of Nashville veterans are 75+

Certain veteran benefits in Nashville may help reduce living costs in a memory care facility. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs VA Pension can assist Nashville veterans with assisted living expenditures like memory care.

The VA Aid and Attendance benefit is perhaps the most commonly used benefit (apart from the VA Pension) for memory care, as these funds are designated for wartime veterans who require assistance with washing, getting dressed, eating, and other activities.

Those injured while serving in the military and those whose conditions were worsened by military service are also eligible for VA Disability Compensation. This can pay the costs of housing and medical treatment based on a disability evaluation.

Nashville seniors and their families can seek assistance from various veterans services organizations (VSOs) like American Legion posts, Disabled American Veterans (DAV) chapters, and Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) clubs. The veterans services officers at these organizations can help veterans access their entitled benefits and provide valuable information and connections to services that can benefit individuals dealing with memory deficits associated with aging.

Medicaid

The local Medicaid program for Nashville, TennCare, offers health insurance to those who qualify for Medicaid and do not have insurance. It doesn’t cover assisted living or memory care facility lodging, but it can help pay for medical appointments, hospital stays, and rehabilitation. You can sign up for it through TennCare Connect, an online tool for Tennesseeans to monitor their application and access additional resources.

Home and community based services (HCBS) waivers also allow states to use Medicaid funds to provide senior care (not only health care) at home or in assisted living-type facilities, such as memory care units. Seniors on Medicaid will require this waiver to receive care in their memory care facility.

The Long-Term Care Ombudsman or your local Area Agency on Aging can assist you in navigating Medicaid and its protocols. Ombudsmen are dedicated volunteers who possess extensive knowledge and can assist you with any inquiries pertaining to Medicaid. To obtain further guidance and support, you can contact Mid-Cumberland for their ombudsman services or reach out to the Greater Nashville Regional Council Area Agency on Aging and Disability.

Medicare

If your loved one with Alzheimer’s or dementia has Medicare, it’ll cover some, but not all, care costs. Though Medicare doesn’t directly cover the cost of a Nashville memory care facility, this benefit can be applied to qualified memory care services and/or programs. Signing up for Medicare is easily done online or by contacting a Social Security office near you.

Medicare pays in-patient hospital care, some doctors’ fees, and other medical goods for adults 65 and older with Alzheimer’s or dementia. Other dementia-related services, such as inpatient hospital care, physician costs, some medically essential products, and short-term skilling nursing care, may be covered by Medicare. Many prescription medicines are also covered by Medicare Part D.

To bridge the gap left by Medicare’s limitations, consider examining the following programs that can provide financial assistance:

  • Tennessee Medicare Savings Programs, for example, help low-income individuals pay their Medicare deductibles and coinsurance. To determine eligibility, contact the Tennessee Department of Health and apply on TennCareConnect to begin.
  • The CoverRx program covers Tennessee residents who do not have prescription pharmaceutical coverage. CoverRx offers participants affordable access to more than 200 medications.

You and your loved one can also seek free counseling from the Tennessee State Health Insurance Help Program (TN SHIP) to obtain comprehensive information about Medicare. TN SHIP provides free assistance to individuals, families, and caregivers who are eligible for Medicare. You can locate certified SHIP counselors to address your queries by referring to the interactive map of Medicare counseling sites in Tennessee.

Your local Social Security office and long-term care ombudsman can provide information on benefits and enrollment as well. They can help seniors and their families understand their health care rights, options, and financial responsibilities.

Understand Tennessee laws and regulations for memory care facilities

Memory care facilities in Nashville must train their personnel in the characteristics and needs of people with dementia, such as mental and emotional changes, behavioral changes, and techniques for satisfying residents’ particular needs.

The Tennessee Department of Health’s Board for Licensing Health Care Facilities oversees the licensing of memory care facilities, ensuring that elderly individuals receive necessary personal care support. A pre-licensure inspection is necessary, and the department conducts an unannounced inspection of every institution within 15 months after its last inspection date and as needed after that.

Residential homes for the aged, which are for now more than four people, are inspected before licensure and regularly as a requirement of re-licensing, as are assisted care living facilities. Both of which can offer memory care in Tennessee. During Department of Health inspections, facilities must comply by permitting admission at any time and providing all relevant paperwork.

Because memory care is a subset of assisted living with added memory care requirements, the regulations of memory care communities encompass all assisted living facilities. Tennessee has many laws and regulations for the protection of assisted living facility residents, including:

  • Tennessee Assisted Living Facility Regulations: These regulations govern various aspects of assisted living facilities, including resident rights, safety, staffing levels, quality of care, cleanliness, and food service standards.
  • Tennessee Administrative Code: The administrative code sets forth specific rules and procedures for licensing and certification of assisted living facilities. This includes requirements for staffing levels, quality of care, and resident rights. Notably, the code mandates that there must be at least one direct care staff member awake and on duty at all times when residents are present.
  • Tennessee Health and Safety Code: The Health and Safety Code outlines the minimum health and safety requirements for assisted living facilities. It covers a range of areas, including staff qualifications, training, and emergency preparedness.
  • Tennessee Fair Housing Law: The Fair Housing Law in Tennessee protects residents of assisted living and memory care facilities from discrimination based on various factors, such as race, religion, sex, age, and disability. This law ensures that individuals have equal access to housing and services provided by assisted living facilities, regardless of their personal characteristics.

The Tennessee Department of Health’s Board for Licensing Health Care Facilities is responsible for inspecting memory care facilities to ensure compliance with all laws and regulations. You can look up Nashville’s inspection reports for senior care facilities online.

Transportation for seniors in Nashville

Memory care patients across Nashville can access transportation options at their facilities. Ninety-one percent of our partner facilities offer complimentary transportation, and 18% offer at-cost transportation.[01] However, when leaving the facility, residents should be accompanied by a family member or caregiver at all times.

The regular public transportation services in Nashville don’t have specific protocols for dementia patients. The WeGo program provides access for those unable to use traditional public transit choices and passengers with disabilities.

The WeGo Access program charges $3.70 per ride and operates during fixed-route bus operation hours. Passengers unable to use these services alone must travel with a personal care assistant. For more details, you can call 615-880-3970.

Another option would be Senior Ride Nashville, which provides transportation to people aged 60 and up. Patients in memory care can use this service to travel to any area within Davidson County while accompanied by a family member or caregiver. However, they must pre-register for the program, which has a waitlist. Once eligible, riders will be notified when they can use the service. Each round trip costs $6, with a $25 yearly membership charge. Drivers have been trained and vetted to ensure that excellent trips arrive on time and are communicated with in advance.

An alternative choice is PrimeCare Transportation Services, a non-emergency medical transportation company. Their expertise lies in offering transportation services tailored to individuals who need support when traveling to and from medical appointments or health care facilities. PrimeCare’s services are especially advantageous for individuals facing mobility challenges, disabilities, or medical conditions that necessitate specialized transportation. With a focus on door-to-door service, they cater to patients’ specific requirements, such as wheelchair accessibility, stretcher transportation, or the use of other specialized medical equipment.

Senior activities in Nashville

Nashville, the epicenter of country music, is a pilgrimage for music enthusiasts worldwide. Therefore, it’s no surprise that visitors worldwide travel to various attractions like the Country Music Hall of Fame. For seniors, learning about the colorful past of country music and getting a glimpse into the lives of some of their favorite musicians is a wonderful experience. The museum exhibits many historically significant artifacts connected to country music. People with disabilities can easily tour the museum, but it’s recommended to go on non-holiday Monday through Thursday when it is less crowded.

Memory care residents will greatly benefit from attending performances at the Grand Ole Opry. This legendary venue has hosted some of the biggest names in country music, and it is a great place to catch live music in Nashville. Assistive listening devices are available for the concerts at the tour desk in the foyer. The location complies with ADA regulations and offers wheelchairs to individuals who need them.  Nashville boasts not only the Grand Ole Opry but also the Ryman Auditorium, another iconic venue that provides a comprehensive range of accessibility options for seniors.

The General Jackson Showboat, one of the biggest showboats ever built, offers a unique setting to hear some of Nashville’s best musicians. While floating down the Cumberland River and taking in the beautiful city views in every direction, guests can eat and watch a show. With the help of an elevator on board and an inclining dock ramp, most of the boat is wheelchair accessible apart from the top deck.

Beyond its famous music scene, Nashville caters to sports enthusiasts with a wide range of professional sports teams to rally behind. Experience the electrifying atmosphere of a Tennessee Titans NFL game at Nissan Stadium as you passionately cheer on the team during kickoff. For ice hockey lovers, Bridgestone Arena is the place to be, where you can witness exhilarating Nashville Predators games that will leave you on the edge of your seat. And for those who cherish America’s favorite pastime, don’t miss the opportunity to catch a Nashville Sounds minor league baseball game, filled with the spirit of the game and unforgettable moments. In Nashville, sports lovers are spoiled for choice with a variety of thrilling options.

Those residents who require fresh air can visit one of Nashville’s top parks, Centennial Park. It has plenty to offer everyone, such as miles of walking trails, Lake Watauga, the Centennial Art Center, historic sites like the Nashville Parthenon, a center for the arts, a lovely sunken garden, and more. Seniors are welcome to use this fantastic park whenever they like, but there are a variety of scheduled activities. With the support of a caregiver or family member, patients in memory care can take advantage of the park’s scenic views.

For seniors seeking an adventure in the animal kingdom, the Nashville Zoo is an excellent choice. It features meticulously maintained habitats that house an impressive collection of 3,000 animals from 325 diverse species, ensuring there is something for everyone to enjoy. The zoo goes the extra mile by providing well-shaded seating areas, creating a perfect space for seniors to relax and reconnect with nature in a tranquil environment. Accessibility is a top priority here. All pathways, exhibits, and facilities are designed to accommodate every visitor, ensuring that everyone can fully explore and appreciate the zoo.
