Caring Estates LLC is a residential care home in Arlington, TN, found in a quiet neighborhood with trees, grassy areas, and space to walk outside, so there's a real sense of country living even though you're near restaurants, theaters, parks, and pharmacies.

Residents have 24-hour support from staff, including help with activities like bathing, dressing, medication, and personal care, with some services geared for those dealing with memory loss. Memory care is offered in suites designed for safety, using features like Wander Guard or a similar system. There are activities planned throughout the week, like health and wellness programs, board games, outdoor walks, music therapy, art plans, gardening, pet therapy, religious offerings when available, and trips out, so there's usually something to do. The community offers three homemade meals a day, made to fit different diets such as diabetic or vegetarian and takes care to help with high blood pressure or diabetes if needed. Residents eat in a shared dining room and can find snacks and drink options. There's a book room, billiards lounge, ballroom, TV and movie room, and even a piano or organ for entertainment, as well as a woodworking shop, gardening areas, butterfly and hummingbird gardens, and an arts and crafts center.
Transportation services help residents get to doctor's appointments, do shopping, go on outings, or attend church, with both complimentary and paid options, and there's parking for residents and guests with both uncovered and covered spots, so visitors and outings aren't a problem. Staff provides grocery shopping and pharmacy support for those who want help. The community is pet-friendly too, so dogs, cats, and other pets are allowed, which a lot of seniors appreciate. Wellness and fitness amenities include an exercise center, swimming pool, and regular physical therapy. The facility has a security gate to help keep everyone safe, and memory care areas have extra supervision.
Rooms and amenities are tailored to both comfort and convenience, from private and semi-private rooms to a beauty salon, game room, hot tub, sauna, and computer or media center. Residents can choose between detached homes, studios, one- or two-bedroom apartments, condos, or townhomes based on what's available. Some staff speak different languages, like English, French, Chinese, Russian, Tagalog, Hindi, and more, which can help if residents have language needs. The care home's goal is to help older adults keep their independence as much as possible, with specialized care plans and regular reassessment according to Tennessee's Department of Social Services, where it's licensed under number 570.
