Red Cedar Glen

Red Cedar Glen sits on eight wooded acres just outside Nashville, TN, so folks can enjoy a peaceful place with walking paths and a community garden right on the grounds, and there are both independent living and assisted living options here, so healthy seniors can keep busy without worry over chores, while those needing a bit more help get support with bathing, dressing, medication reminders, and daily personal care. People here seem to get along like family, with friendly neighbors and staff who look out for everyone, and there's a full schedule of activities-movie nights, themed parties, daily exercise, game room fun like poker, and local outings, so boredom's not much of a problem. There's a community garden, outdoor patios, a courtyard with a portico for sitting out in the fresh air, and common rooms like TV lounges, a library, fitness center, piano/organ area, fireplace gathering spots, and even a "Main Street" with places to chat or relax. Red Cedar Glen's got scheduled transportation for outings and doctor visits, along with grocery shopping, and offers both complimentary rides and rides at cost, depending on where someone needs to go. Meals come restaurant-style, and special diets can be managed, while guests are welcome at mealtime, so family can feel included. There's an on-site barber and beauty salon for a haircut or style, plus a concierge for help with various tasks, and staff handle housekeeping and laundry to keep things tidy. Medical care is coordinated closely with local providers, and there's a 24-hour call system with staff always available, along with an emergency response system and secured access after hours for peace of mind. Red Cedar Glen recognizes several faiths, providing Catholic, Protestant, and other devotional services both onsite and offsite so various spiritual needs are met. The facility offers age-restricted living only for people 55 and older, and has assisted living floor plans called The Keystone (studio with private bath) and The Portal/Suite (two-bedroom with one bath), so folks can pick what best fits their needs. Staff at Red Cedar Glen use a person-centered approach, taking time to learn each resident's likes to tailor care, and the team can help with personal activities, medication management, transportation, therapy, and more. The place has a wellness center and therapy room, equipment to help with strength and movement, and employs doctors, psychiatrists, and psychoanalysts in their clinic for further support. Payment works with Veterans Benefits and Long Term Care Insurance, but not Medicare or Medicaid. Greenbrier Senior Living manages the property, and seems to put a lot of focus on keeping people active, supported, and connected, helping residents keep their independence in a safe, comfortable setting.
