Quarterly Placement Checks and Yearly Training on Tennessee Secured Units

Tennessee's secured unit rule: a care team review every three months, yearly training for all unit staff with no set hours, and no continuous nursing care, part of our guide to memory care in Murfreesboro, TN

192 beds under one rule. All seven Murfreesboro, TN, communities with memory care report secured beds. That's the state rule's term for a part of the community set up to keep residents from leaving, except as fire and safety codes require.

Every three months. Tennessee's rule calls for each resident's care team to review whether the secured unit is still the right place. It also calls for the community to show inspectors 12 months of those records at its annual state survey.

Every year, five topics. The first is Alzheimer's disease and how it progresses. The others are hard behaviors and sudden distress, safety risks, help with daily tasks, and talking with families. The rule calls for every staff member on the unit to get training on these each year. The rule names the topics, not a number of hours.

If nursing needs grow. A secured unit is part of an assisted care community, so the same limit applies there. The community can't keep a resident who needs continuous nursing care, which is a question worth raising before a move.

Early Alzheimer's in a home for the aged. Tennessee also licenses homes for the aged. A home may take in a person in the early stages of Alzheimer's, but only after a team decides it can care for them safely. The team includes a doctor with dementia experience, a social worker, a registered nurse and a family member or patient advocate. It looks at the placement again at least every three months.

Looking up secured beds. The Health Facilities Commission posts a bed report for every assisted care community in the state. The report has a column for secured beds, and the newest one is from October 2026. A family can open it, find Rutherford County and see which communities list secured beds.

Before and After a Move: Paying for Memory Care in Rutherford County

Before a move, TennCare CHOICES and GNRC's caregiver program both list help with breaks for the family caregiver. After a move, private pay can come from savings, income, a home sale or long-term care insurance. TennCare, the state's Medicaid program, lists assisted care living facility services in CHOICES for members who qualify, and the member still pays room and board. A veteran or survivor who gets a VA pension and needs daily help can ask the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) whether Aid and Attendance would add to it. Who qualifies for each program is in our assisted living guide for Murfreesboro, TN.

Respite Hours, Adult Day and Caregiver Classes in Rutherford County

The state's bed report lists five licensed adult day beds at Creekside at Three Rivers, so it's worth asking there, too.
  • Paid breaks through GNRC. The Greater Nashville Regional Council's (GNRC's) Family Caregiver Support program can help pay for adult day care or a caregiver at home. It serves Rutherford County families caring for someone 60 or older, or for someone with Alzheimer's disease at any age.
