Who are you searching for?
Residential care homes in Nashville may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. Nashville care homes typically take in fewer residents, meaning older adults know each resident in the home and develop strong friendships.
Older-adult care homes vary more than other options for senior living in Nashville, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services. A Place for Mom will work with you to understand the cost of care homes. From there, we’ll help you find the right fit, whether you’re staying on a budget or searching for luxury retirement communities.
We are also serving Residential Care Home facilities in surrounding neighborhoods like Green Hills, Whispering Hills and Belle Meade.
You may also consider nearby communities such as Hendersonville, Brentwood or Berry Hill.

Residential Care Home
My mother has been at Saba Sunrise for 6 months and after a period of adjustment she has settled in nicely. Small number of residents as Saba’s is a house. Highly recommend. The caregivers are great and almost like family now. Best choice we ever made in a difficult time.
Geat experience! Daily homecooked food. Friendly staff. Lots of daily activities for my mother to get into! I'm grateful for the care my mom received before she passed away.
I'am very impressed with this community. This is truly a genuine caring community. Valeria the owner and her family take very good care of the residents in their home. My aunt loves it here, they are providing her with the best care ever. They grow their own vegetables and fruits, and all the meals are great home cooked meals. They have really given me a peace of mind knowing she is safe and in good hands. I would recommend this home to anybody.

Residential care homes — sometimes called care homes, board and care homes, group homes, or personal care homes — are often houses in residential neighborhoods that are adapted, equipped, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually 10 or less. Similar to assisted living but in a smaller, more residential setting, these homes provide supervision, organized events, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). This means care homes can help with everyday routines but typically do not provide 24-hour skilled nursing assistance.
In the state of Tennessee, the median monthly cost for a room in a care home is about $1,500. However, the cost of living in a care home depends largely on location. Since the homes are private residences, costs are tied to real estate value and therefore may vary greatly.
