“It was a wonderful gift my mother gave to herself and to us—her children—to know she was happy and safe. With an added bonus of all the wonderful friends she made while living there. That included many of the staff members who were always so courteous and caring.”

How are memory care staff specially trained?

Our nurses and caregivers are experts at managing all levels of memory loss, from early-stage dementia to advanced Alzheimer’s disease. Each team member receives extensive training in Heartfelt Connections—A Memory Care Program® to deliver compassionate, effective memory support. Beyond this core program, our staff participates in ongoing education about the latest approaches in dementia care, including non-pharmacological interventions, communication techniques, and behavioral management strategies. This continual learning ensures our memory care staff remains at the forefront of best practices in serving residents with cognitive impairments.

Is there an outdoor space for memory care residents?

Somerfield offers beautifully landscaped outdoor seating areas that are enclosed to prevent residents from wandering. These thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces include comfortable gathering spots for socialization and walking paths that encourage physical activity in a secure setting.

Does Somerfield Health Center accept direct admissions?

We welcome seniors diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia from the surrounding Brentwood and Nashville areas, based on availability. Our admissions team conducts a comprehensive assessment to determine the appropriate level of services and to develop a personalized care plan before admission. We understand that transitions can be challenging for someone with memory impairment, so we work closely with families to create a smooth move-in experience. Our team provides guidance throughout the admissions process, helping with paperwork, coordination of medical information, and creating a welcoming environment from day one.

Will the monthly fees change for current residents moving to memory care?

Residents with LifeCare® will continue to pay their same independent living monthly rate when they move to assisted living, memory care, and even skilled nursing. Apart from ancillary medical expenses or optional services, such as a trip to the beauty salon, your monthly fee will not increase.

This financial consistency is one of the significant benefits of choosing The Heritage at Brentwood®, as it protects families from the escalating costs typically associated with higher levels of care. Our transparent pricing structure ensures that residents and their families understand all costs involved with our memory care services, with no hidden fees or surprise charges.

What is memory care, and how is it different from assisted living?

Memory care provides specialized support designed specifically for those with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Unlike standard assisted living, our memory care community offers enhanced safety features, specialized activities for cognitive stimulation, and staff with advanced training in dementia’s behaviors and care.

The physical environment in our dementia care residences include dementia-friendly design elements such as simplified floor plans, visual cues, and secure areas that help residents navigate their surroundings with greater confidence. Our specialized life enrichment activities are carefully structured to provide appropriate stimulation without overwhelming residents. Dementia programs here are designed to support brain health and cognitive function at various stages of memory loss, unlike many dementia care homes that standardize care.

Additionally, our staff-to-resident ratio is higher in memory care than in assisted living, allowing for more personalized attention and supervision. Care approaches are tailored to each individual’s cognitive abilities, with adaptations made as needs change over time. Family support is also integrated into our memory care services, with regular education programs, support groups, and consistent communication to help loved ones understand and navigate their journey.
