Overview of Our Professional Staff and Training

Our Director of Nursing, a registered nurse (RN), leads our team of licensed practical nurses (LPNs) who manage daily medication distribution and are available for emergencies around the clock. Our certified nursing assistants (CNAs) and resident assistants (RAs) provide daily care to our residents. All nurses and CNAs undergo necessary continuing education to maintain their certifications/licenses, and our entire staff participates in monthly trainings on various topics as required by the State of Tennessee.

To ensure the safety and well-being of our residents, we provide emergency pendants and have pull-cord emergency boxes in every public space and resident room. Our staff conducts nightly rounds to ensure resident safety.

Support Services for Residents' Transition

We gather detailed information about potential residents to facilitate their transition into our community, supported by a resident ambassador who helps with introductions and encourages participation in activities.
