Brookdale Clarksville in Clarksville, Tennessee, is an assisted living and memory care community made for seniors who need help with daily living and dementia care. The building is single-story and has secured keypad entry and alert systems for safety. Staff are always on site, including nurses and trained caregivers experienced with Alzheimer's and dementia. Residents get help with dressing, bathing, grooming, medication, and transfers, including those who need more than one person to help move or may wander. The memory care section is in its own purpose-built, secured building, and uses the Clare Bridge and Solace programs for people living in different stages of dementia. Residents get three meals and snacks each day, often in a comfortable dining room with dementia-friendly settings and choices, with options for special diets and hand-held foods if needed.
The community is pet-friendly and allows dogs and cats, with help for pet care available, and you'll see family members visit and sit with residents in the ice cream parlor, sunroom, or bright outdoor courtyards, gardens, and walking paths. Rooms are private suites, 288 or 324 square feet, and come with plush carpets, private baths, kitchenettes, large closets, cable or satellite TV, and patios. Extra services include transportation for appointments or shopping, personal laundry, housekeeping, on-site salon and barber services, fitness and wellness programs like Tai Chi and stretching, and access to hospice, respite care, or aging in place options so you don't have to move as care needs change.

There are both indoor and outdoor spaces to relax, visit, or attend devotional services. There's a hot tub spa, library, and spaces for communal dining and activities.
