Academy Place is a gated townhouse community meant for active adults aged 55 and older, and you'll find a friendly, neighborly atmosphere here with plenty of amenities aimed at making life less stressful and more enjoyable, so you don't have to worry much about chores. The community has a two-story townhouse built in 2000 with a brick exterior and shingle roof, offering four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and 2,108 square feet of living space, and the setup includes a main-level primary bedroom, another bathroom upstairs, and a fireplace in the family room, while the flooring throughout uses carpet, wood, tile, and vinyl. Residents get up to two covered parking spaces attached to their unit, and there's low-maintenance living all around, thanks to services like housekeeping, laundry, and move-in help, plus telephone and Wi-Fi/high-speed internet in rooms, private bathrooms, and either kitchenettes or furnished rooms, along with air conditioning and cable TV, so it feels very much like home, just with more backup, if you need it.
The kitchen spaces come stocked with an oven, cooktop, trash compactor, dishwasher, microwave, and refrigerator, letting residents prepare meals if they want, but you'll also have access to dining services like restaurant-style dining, all-day options, and special dietary accommodations-there's a professional chef around to help with preparations, including meals for those who need a diabetes diet or allergy-sensitive dishes. The overall design gives seniors plenty to do, like joining daily events, movie nights, resident-run activities, art and music programs, and outdoor walks on the paths and trails, so the days don't feel empty. For health and wellness, there's a well-equipped fitness room and a calm spa area, plus an outdoor pool and clubhouse for leisure and gatherings, and the place even puts you close to Don Fox Community Park and Cedars of Lebanon State Park for extra outings, as well as Lebanon's shops and public transportation like the Music City Star Lebanon Station.
Academy Place includes apartment and condo options in styles like studio, one-bedroom, or semi-private units for those who want a bit more privacy or company, and you'll find board and care homes tucked into regular residential neighborhoods, providing daily care for only a few residents at a time-usually up to six, which keeps things personal. There's a range of care services and living options: independent living so you can keep your freedom with help as needed, assisted living where staff can help with dressing, bathing, meals, and medication, and then memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, with special programs and a secure environment. There's also skilled nursing available for those who need wound care, rehab, or complex medical attention, and support is around 24 hours a day, with emergency call systems so help is never far if you need it.
Academy Place aims to help seniors age in place, offering different services as needs change, and there are built-in support services in independent living if you ever need a hand, all while encouraging hobbies and active living with game rooms, community rooms, movie theaters, activity spaces, and outdoor common areas-you'll even get transportation and parking facilities nearby. If someone wants a simple, supportive living arrangement near parks and town amenities, with the added bonus of fitness, good food, and a friendly social calendar, Academy Place offers a lot to consider.
