Richland Place sits in Nashville's West End neighborhood and serves adults aged 55 and over who want independent living, assisted living, or health care all in one place, and it's managed by National Healthcare Corporation (NHC), which brings long experience. The community offers one, two, and three-bedroom homes on five floors, with floor plans ranging from about 740 to 3,000 square feet, and each home has a patio or balcony, a fully equipped kitchen, updated bathrooms, and appliances, so residents can keep their daily routines while enjoying extra support. Elmington Suites is their name for assisted living, where staff provide personal help and housekeeping, meals served daily, 24-hour security, access to nursing and therapy services, and on-site beauty and barber appointments. Housekeeping, linen service, and scheduled transportation are regular features, along with a menu of daily activities and several clubs, and the monthly Resident Council meetings help residents have a say in how things run, while three residents even serve on the board of directors which is a nice way to include the people who live here.
Richland Place is a continuing care retirement community, so people can move from independent living to higher levels of support like assisted living or long-term skilled nursing care, hospice, or memory care as needed, all without having to leave the campus. The Life Care Package covers weekly housekeeping, linen services, meals, security, medical alert systems, planned events, and guaranteed health care, and there's priority placement if someone needs to move into assisted living or the Health Center, which has 131 licensed beds for skilled nursing, intermediate care, rehab, and hospice. There's 24-hour registered nurse coverage at the Health Center, on-site nurse practitioners and physicians on call, and access to restorative therapies like physical, occupational, speech, and respiratory therapy. They provide dental, podiatry, mental health, pharmacy, laboratory, and radiology services, and most rooms can be private or shared, with luxury finishes or extra dens for those wanting more space. Many services, like personal laundry or restorative therapies, are available for extra fees.
Residents can find several features on site, such as three elevators, an emergency pull-cord system, individually controlled thermostats, fire alarms, smoke detectors, and sprinklers in every apartment. For fun and fitness, there's a heated indoor saltwater pool, a full fitness center with organized exercise classes, billiards and games rooms, a movie theater, a library, meeting rooms, walking areas, and more than a dozen social and activity clubs from book groups to yoga. There's fine dining with restaurant-style meals, a soda shop and deli, private dining rooms for family visits, and guest rooms for overnight visitors, plus postal, dry cleaning, beauty salon, and banking services right on site. Residents use a No Risk Rental Program if they don't want to buy in, with both unlimited term rentals and the usual entry and monthly service fees for those who want a guaranteed spot long term; entry fees range from $368,500 to $795,500, and monthly service fees depend on the chosen floor plan, which includes luxury units and homes with dens.
Richland Place supports people who have Alzheimer's or other dementia, offering memory care and on-site skilled care, and the Health Center has nurses and emergency help available 24 hours, with the promise that people can stay within the community even as their needs change. They also handle personal transportation, daily recreation, dietary services, and access to therapeutic and medical care, accepting most medical insurance as allowed by Medicare. The focus at Richland Place is on creating a safe, comfortable place where residents keep as much independence as they'd like, with support when needed, and the whole setup is made for older adults who want both privacy and help close by, in a calm, well-maintained Nashville setting that people have trusted since 1971.
