NOT Skilled to provide Memory Care
This is not a memory care facility! I moved my mother here on [date removed] and moved her out 2 months later. Cannot advise on the assisted living portion of the facility , however the memory care should not exist. The facility does not have the skilled personnel to handle dementia patients. In the two months that my mother was here I saw NO group activities. Residents constantly walking the hallway because of lack of stimulation. The executive director was very difficult to reach when there were concerns and because of his lack of communication with me and poor decisions on treatment for my mother she was placed in a very serious health compromise. I am writing this review because I don’t want any one else to go through the grief and detriment this place has caused my family.

Going above and beyond
This facility has been good, things are going really well. My dad is still living at home and visits my step mom here often. If they haven't seen him visit, they call him and check on him to make sure he's ok. They just go above and beyond. Housekeeping is often (sometimes daily) and they do a great job. Communication with the family is good. The food is good, they have good quality and variety. They offer a variety of activities. They seem a bit short staffed, but do very well with the staff that they do have. The nurses appear to be doing everything they can to care for my step mom. I would recommend them to friends and family.

Review for Governor's Bend
It was too high class, and like a high end hotel. The cost was significantly higher. They did everything well, and it was nice.

A Great Resting Place and A Great Place for Your Loved One to Be, A Very Peaceful Place
We have an excellent experience here. The community was very clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They took great care of my loved one. They had events, music, and more for activities for the residents to participate in. The meals were very good here. They have a good menu for the residents to choose from. Medication management, hygiene, dressing, and bathing assistance were some care the community was able to offer my loved one. I have recommend the community to several people since we left.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Tennessee regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Tennessee regulations for Assisted Living.

A Place for Mom has scored Governors Bend 7.2 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
