AdamsPlace sits on a spacious campus at 1927 Memorial Blvd in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, with large white columns out front, rocking chairs on the porch, and an American flag gently moving in the breeze, and it's been taking care of Rutherford County's seniors since 1997 with a focus on safety and comfort, offering a mix of independent living, assisted living, memory care, long-term nursing, and rehabilitation care. Dr. Carl E. Adams, a doctor from Middle Tennessee, founded AdamsPlace to create a whole campus where older adults could get whatever care they might need as life changes. The setup lets married couples stay close together, even if one needs more help than the other, and there's a way for residents to move between different levels of care-like independent living, assisted living, memory care, and nursing care-if their needs change.
AdamsPlace offers several apartment layouts, including one, two, three, and four-bedroom units with balconies, patios, washers, dryers, and air conditioning, and there's also a lot of little touches like carpeted hallways with sturdy wooden handrails, cozy sitting areas with big windows, and a grand piano in one of the common rooms. Inside, residents can enjoy restaurant-style dining, visits to the salon, and plenty of spaces to gather for activities, while outside, there are landscaped gardens, a gazebo, walking paths, and even a saltwater pool, with fitness centers, barbecue areas, hot tubs, and waterfront views available in some rentals. AdamsPlace welcomes pets, and there's plenty of room to walk a dog or sit outside on a sunny day.
Specialized staff include Debbie Edwards, Senior Accounting Associate; Lauren Grant, Physical Therapist; Ryan Underwood, Director of Nutrition and Food Services; and Steve Chapek, Executive Director for Assisted Living. AdamsPlace works with the National Healthcare Corporation and has a steady team of nurses, a doctor on call, and qualified therapists who help people stay as independent as possible, whether it's after a hospital stay or when age brings new challenges. There's a 90-bed Health Care Center for skilled nursing and rehab, a 23-apartment Memory Care Center, an Assisted Living Center, and an 89-apartment Residential Living Center, each designed for both privacy and community.
Residents find services like hospice care, short-term rehab, CNA training, and support for aging in place, and there's help available for men and women. The campus offers devotional and Bible study gatherings, music and memory activities, and therapeutic events to meet social, physical, and spiritual needs, plus regular church services and time for favorite pastimes like billiards, swimming, or just rocking on the porch. Transportation is provided for appointments, and couples moving from independent living to higher care often get discounts. AdamsPlace uses an entry fee system that makes it easier to move through different care levels on the same campus, so folks don't have to leave behind friends, spouses, or familiar faces as needs change.
The place stays secure, clean, and peaceful, set up to help everyone keep their dignity and independence for as long as possible, and the staff aims to listen and make thoughtful choices for all who call AdamsPlace home. There's a website at www.adamsplace.org for anyone wanting more information about what's offered and what life is like at this community.
