The Villages of Murfreesboro provides a dedicated memory-care program designed for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Licensed nurses are on staff around the clock to monitor health conditions, administer medications, and respond to urgent needs. Care plans are individualized after an assessment and are adjusted as residents’ cognitive or medical requirements change. The community maintains a secure environment with controlled access points to reduce the risk of wandering while still allowing residents to move about freely within designated areas.

Beyond core medical oversight, residents receive help with daily activities such as dressing, bathing, grooming, and mobility. Care staff receive ongoing dementia-specific training to reinforce communication techniques and behavioral interventions that reduce anxiety and agitation. Physical, occupational, and speech therapies are available on site through contracted providers, and the team coordinates with outside physicians, specialists, and pharmacies to keep care seamless. Regular monitoring of nutrition, hydration, and weight helps staff identify health concerns early and address them promptly.

Accommodations include studio and one-bedroom apartments equipped with private or shared bathrooms, emergency call systems, and easily navigable floor plans that support residents’ cognitive needs. Some apartments feature kitchenettes, individual climate controls, and large windows for natural light, while others are more simplified to minimize overstimulation; not all accommodations have all features. Weekly housekeeping, laundry service, maintenance, and all utilities except personal phone service are included. Secure outdoor courtyards and common areas give residents safe places to enjoy fresh air without leaving the protected environment.

Residents are offered three meals a day prepared by culinary staff who follow menus reviewed by a dietitian to meet both nutritional guidelines and individual dietary restrictions. Meal service is typically restaurant-style in a dining room arranged to reduce noise and visual distractions, though table-side assistance and cueing are provided for those who need it. Snacks and beverages are available throughout the day, with staff encouraging hydration and balanced intake. Special themed meals and family-style events are scheduled periodically to promote social interaction and maintain familiar routines.
