Hay Long Retirement Home

Hay Long Retirement Home in Mount Pleasant, TN, is a small, board and care home with space for up to 8 residents, and the place feels like a private home where people know each other well, with shared living spaces and a close connection between caregivers and residents so daily activities like eating meals, group outings, and even help with grooming, bathing, or medication reminders happen within a familiar environment, which helps people feel at ease if they need a little or a lot of support. Residents can get help with cooking, cleaning, laundry, and other chores, and the staff-plus two nearby physicians-are there to handle medical appointments and check-ups, and there's a pharmacy close by to make managing medicine simpler. The facility takes care in supporting people with memory challenges, including Alzheimer's or dementia, setting up rooms and routines that help reduce confusion and prevent wandering. There's a supervised and secure environment where transportation services help get residents to medical visits, shopping, or group social activities, and a variety of on-site events fill up the calendar to keep everyone active and social, whether that's TV time in the common area or larger community activities and outings nearby. Meals are cooked on site, and telephone access and laundry facilities are available to all. The living spaces come well-equipped for comfort and privacy, with a family feel, and pets aren't allowed. There's support for spiritual needs with a place of worship nearby, and parking for those who need it. Hay Long has amenities like washer/dryer access, group activities, transportation help, and communal spaces, with a focus on keeping things comfortable, safe, and social. Residents with mental health needs can also find support here, as it's recognized as a "Mental Health Supportive Living Facility" and can accommodate individuals with mental illness diagnoses. People can pay privately or use SSI or SSDI. The facility welcomes both men and women and strives to provide services and personal care tailored to each person through personalized care plans, including for those who'd rather live more independently or need extra help with daily life. The home runs as a co-ed, supervised care setting with a range of services, and staff get good ratings for their care, cleanliness, and attentiveness, all within a comfortable environment that feels more like a neighborhood than a big building. Smoking is allowed outside only, and the facility isn't pet-friendly, but the setting's focus is on helping seniors feel safe, connected, and involved, offering a home-like atmosphere where friendships can grow and independence gets encouraged as much as possible.
