The staff is very helpful, responsive, and does a great job with my Aunt. The move in process was very easy, they gave us free rein to decorate the room as we saw fit, and even accepted furniture deliveries on my behalf. I like their weekly newsletter that they email out, it keeps us informed about what's going on at the facility. I toured 8 homes, and would definitely recommend this facility to others.

New Hope Senior Living in Hendersonville, TN

They are amazing. They provide transportation to the doctors appointments within Hendersonville and staying with him to bring him back. This is done for free with their own bus. They offer movies, puzzles, bingo, cooking, making dog biscuits for the local animal shelter, Easter festivities. I cannot say enough about this place. It is only a 14 bed facility. It is on 2 floors. They have a private chef and the food is so good. It is like a home cooked meal every time. My father is on a low salt diet and they cook meals following his diet. We come to eat with him sometimes. I have no problem going there anytime and getting a snack anytime we visit. They brew real coffee for their residents. They have a coffee bar so the residents can get some any time of the day. They have a preparing for garden this summer and have fresh vegetables. The price is the best part. You can't get what we pay for like this anywhere else. They are all private rooms. Each resident have a life alert (not life alert brand) button and the staff answer those buttons within a few minutes each time. My Dad trusts them.
