Hickory Hills Alzheimer’s Special Care Center in Hendersonville, TN is a memory-care-only community. Residents benefit from a program that addresses Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias with 24-hour supervision, on-site nurses, regular doctor oversight, and structured medication management. The center can accommodate short-term respite stays and provides disease-specific support such as diabetes monitoring. Speech therapy is available to assist with communication or swallowing issues, and hospice services can be arranged when appropriate.

The property is secured to prevent unsafe wandering while still allowing freedom of movement within designated areas designed specifically to accommodate memory loss. A clinical team that includes physical, occupational, and speech therapists works alongside podiatrists for foot care, and staff are trained in incontinence and ambulatory assistance. Residents who need help walking, showering, or managing daily tasks receive hands-on support, and the community’s layout, lighting, and cues are engineered for cognitive support.

Private and companion suites are offered; some feature wheelchair-accessible showers, high-speed Wi-Fi, and individual climate control. Select areas showcase a central fireplace, a piano or organ for communal use, and outdoor spaces for fresh air. Parking is available for visitors, and all rooms are built with handicap accessibility in mind, though not every unit includes every listed feature.

Three daily meals plus snacks are included, and an all-day dining option lets residents eat on their own schedule. The culinary staff can prepare guest meals and accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, low- or no-sodium, and no-sugar diets to align with medical or personal preferences.

Residents have access to an activity center, indoor and outdoor walking paths, raised garden beds, a library and computer lounge, and a swimming pool. Scheduled programs range from fitness classes, live music, karaoke, dances, birthday celebrations, and social outings to reminiscence, sensory-based, and intergenerational events. Clubs and community groups meet regularly, supporting social engagement and cognitive stimulation.
