Villa Maria Manor

Villa Maria Manor sits on the St. Mary Villa campus in the Belle Meade area of Nashville, Tennessee, over at 32 White Bridge Road, and has won awards for excellence in care, activities, and staff friendliness, like the Best of Senior Living and Most Friendly in Senior Living awards. The executive director, Iris Rilea, manages the community. Here, seniors can find independent living, assisted living, and memory care, including Alzheimer's care, and the place has units and therapies meant to reduce confusion and prevent wandering for those who need it. Seniors who live here can choose from several floor plans, with one-bedroom units starting at 545 square feet, one-bedroom handicap units at 588 square feet, and two-bedroom units at 825 square feet, and every apartment has its own bathroom and kitchen. The complex has 214 units and is a Section 8 multi-family housing apartment complex, and that means it provides affordable, quality housing and a range of supportive services for low-income elderly and disabled people. They'll find amenities like transportation for doctor visits and shopping, an on-site laundry facility, nutritious meals with quality ingredients, a library with computers, a recreation room for games and social events, and a fitness room equipped with exercise bikes and treadmills. Villa Maria Manor offers private apartments with wheelchair-accessible options, private kitchens and bathrooms, and multiple floor plans to meet different needs. There's also a low-cost SeniorTV programming choice besides regular cable and internet, and the facility offers a Spanish-language phone service, text telephone/teletypewriter service for English, and fax communication. Residents are welcome from any background, since apartments are open to all regardless of race, creed, or national origin, and the facility has a tenant selection plan ready for HOTMA implementation. The community supports residents' health, security, happiness, and sense of usefulness, providing both housing and assistance with activities of daily living and therapies for memory care as needed.
