Smyrna Village Memory Care Community sits across from the Village Market in a central, walkable part of Smyrna, and it's a small, family-owned and military-owned community with a home-like feel and 38 private or semi-private rooms set up for safety and comfort, with things like wall-to-wall carpeting, window treatments, wheelchair accessible showers, kitchens or kitchenettes, and safety features such as sprinkler systems and handicap access. Staff stay on site round the clock, helping with daily needs like bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, walking or wheelchair use, medication management, and incontinence care, and they've got extra training to support folks with dementia, Alzheimer's, and other memory challenges, making it possible for residents to age in place as needs change. The whole place is set up for safety, with a gated facility and secure outdoor areas, and residents who tend to wander wear bracelets that ring alarms if they try to leave, while staff can handle behaviors like wandering, aggression, or other common issues tied to memory loss.
Care is personal since the small size means staff can know each person and work from a plan that matches their needs, and the "Active Minds" program brings Montessori-based activities and crafts that help with hand skills, independence, and self-worth, while a full-time activity director keeps a calendar packed with art, music, tabletop games, exercise classes, social outings, and live entertainment. Meals get cooked on site and served three times a day in the dining room, with vegetarian options available, plus snacks, and the housekeeping and laundry team keeps things neat and linens fresh, so residents don't have to worry about chores. They've got transportation for medical appointments and errands, as well as resident and guest parking, and even public transit is close by, with wifi in rooms and cable TV in common areas to help people feel at home.
Doctors are on call and a nurse is on site, so medical support includes diabetic care, wound care, podiatry, medication administration, therapy, psychiatric care, and hospice, with room for special needs like insulin shots or help with mobility using lifts or two-person transfers. Families get encouraged to join in with life here, sharing in social events or just visiting, while residents can join devotional services on site or off, and enjoy a garden and outdoor spaces for some sun and fresh air. The place can take residents who use wheelchairs or who have more complex care needs, and they accept long-term care insurance to help make things affordable. With affordable studio and semi-private rooms and a focus on comfort, dignity, and keeping minds active, Smyrna Village Memory Care Community works to keep older adults with memory loss safe, engaged, healthy, and connected to people who care about them.
