Rose Ella Village sits at 201 Rose Ella Drive in Dover, Tennessee, a short drive from the main road, surrounded by boat docks, parks, and small-town shops, and you'll find this place more like a little neighborhood than a big complex, with every apartment giving folks a private entrance both inside and outside, a spacious 900 square foot layout, two bedrooms, and a kitchen with a full-sized fridge, microwave, double sinks, extra cabinets, and even room for a dining table, plus there's a handicap-accessible bathroom and a private garden patio with an attached storage space where you can enjoy some fresh air or tend a few potted plants. Residents get all their utilities, high-speed internet, basic cable, trash service, home security system monitoring, and even emergency call buttons included in one monthly fee so you won't have to juggle bills each month, and there's central heating and cooling, ceiling fans, and personal thermostats in every apartment so you can keep things as cool or warm as you like, and there's also resident parking, with covered spaces for those who want, and guests are welcome at any time.
Meals are prepared daily by kitchen staff with chefs and planners, served in a bright, beautiful dining room, and special diets can be handled too, so no one gets left out-up to three meals a day, and for folks able to cook in their apartment's kitchen, everything you need is right there, but you can also bring your meal to your private patio if you want to eat outside. Housekeeping once a week takes care of basic cleaning, and laundry rooms give free access to washers and dryers, while other services for extra cost like personal laundry, barber and beauty work, massage, and guest meals are also available, which gives you control over what you want to handle yourself. Common areas inside and out include quiet lobbies, an on-site library, a business center, fitness room, audio/visual library, and private and public dining rooms, plus beautiful landscaped grounds and a private garden patio for every suite. The community lets folks bring their dogs and cats, and the suites and showers are wheelchair accessible, so no need to worry if you use a walker or chair; the apartments also have security and health alert systems for safety.
Transportation for residents who need a ride or want to go out is available for an extra charge, so trips to shops, parks, events, or appointments can be arranged with the staff, and there's regular onsite and offsite activities along with devotional gatherings for spiritual enrichment. For those who need it, hospice care is offered, and residents can also use the suggestion box to give management feedback, an option that lets everyone have a say in daily life here. Rose Ella Village is owned and operated by a local family that cares for the feeling of a close-knit, independent retirement community, and guests can always come and visit. The monthly cost covers almost everything, so folks here can spend less time worrying about bills and chores and more time enjoying living independently, taking walks, reading in the library, or just sitting on their patio with a cup of coffee.
