The St. Paul in Nashville offers an Independent Living program designed for residents who are largely self-reliant but want a safety net of medical oversight. Staff are on site around the clock, and each residence is connected to an emergency response system that links directly to trained personnel. Routine health assessments, coordination with outside physicians, and scheduled blood pressure or medication reviews are available, allowing residents to stay on top of chronic conditions without leaving the campus. For unplanned needs, transportation to nearby hospitals and clinics can be arranged quickly.
Beyond core medical oversight, the community provides a structured wellness platform that includes fitness classes, walking groups, and balance training aimed at fall prevention. On-site therapy partners visit regularly for physical, occupational, or speech therapy, and transportation is provided for off-site specialist appointments. A dedicated concierge team helps manage prescription refills and lab work scheduling, while weekly housekeeping and linen services free residents to focus on their health and activities. Spiritual care and counseling are available through visiting clergy and licensed social workers.
Residences range from studio layouts to two-bedroom apartments, each with a private bathroom, kitchenette, and emergency call system. Select units come with features such as balconies, in-unit washer-dryers, walk-in closets, and walk-in showers with grab bars, though not all accommodations include every feature. Basic cable, Wi-Fi, and individual climate controls are standard, and maintenance staff handle repairs. Residents may add personal furnishings to tailor their spaces within safety guidelines.
The dining program serves three daily meals in a restaurant-style setting, with entrée choices posted in advance and an always-available menu for simpler fare. A registered dietitian reviews menus to ensure nutritional balance and can coordinate low-sodium, diabetic, or other physician-ordered diets. Take-out trays are offered for those who prefer to dine in their apartments, and a private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings. Snacks, coffee, and fruit are set out throughout the day, and special holiday or themed meals give residents additional variety without extra cost.
