The place has a for-profit owner, no recent change in ownership, and since 1992 has taken Medicare and Medicaid, which means they cover a lot of health and daily help needs, like 12-16 hour nursing care for some, a 24-hour call system, round-the-clock supervision, and trained staff helping with bathing, dressing, medication, wound care, stroke care, speech and occupational therapy, pain management, podiatry, and more, and they offer family and resident councils, making sure everyone has a say about the care given.

The staff also helps with memory support, caregiver training, and education for families learning about care choices, how to handle payments, Medicaid eligibility, and what options exist in Tennessee.
