Clarendale West End

Clarendale West End sits in Nashville's West End Park neighborhood, close to shopping, hospitals, I-440, and all the downtown events, so it's very easy for family and friends to come by or for residents to get out and enjoy the city when they like. The community offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care, so residents can get support as their needs change, and there's adult day care, nursing, and rehab services, too, which brings peace of mind to families. There are different floor plans for each care type, featuring kitchens, private bathrooms, walk-in closets, washers and dryers, balconies or patios, and broad windows that let in lots of light.

Clarendale West End is run by Life Care Services, a company with over 50 years of experience in senior living and it's recognized in the J.D. Power U.S. Senior Living Satisfaction Study, so folks considering it can feel it's a known name. The place is brand new, accepting residents now and expected to open fully in late fall 2024, and with a monthly lease people don't have to worry about buy-in fees. The monthly fee covers meals, housekeeping, transportation, utilities, and care management, so that's one less thing to keep up with.

The community has an onsite fitness center, beauty salon and spa, artist studio, bistro/bar, theater, cozy lounges, and community and outdoor spaces for gathering and relaxing. The dining is restaurant-style, with a Grab and Go Market for simple meals or snacks, and there's a third-floor sky terrace that looks like a peaceful place to sit with neighbors or family. Residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia can take part in specialized memory care programs that focus on the whole person, safety, and security, and assisted living residents get help with bathing, dressing, grooming, and medication when they need it, all tailored to their needs so people can keep as independent as possible.

There's an emergency call system in all units. The entire building is modern and multi-story, built into an urban setting with green areas, and everything's set up for a metropolitan, active adult lifestyle. The community is still pre-leasing and lets people choose their apartments, so moving in early gives more choices. Life at Clarendale West End centers around supporting each resident, making it easy to keep up hobbies, create friendships, and stay active, with amenities designed to make things comfortable and safe without any fuss.
