Ave Maria does not deserve even a single star. A family member of mine lived in this facility and when we visited our family member, we found said family member lying in the bed barely responsive and it was easy to tell it was because of a strong or large amount of sedatives. When we requested information regarding any medications that had been given to our family member, we were amazed to see that the nurses at Ave Maria had given our family member an amount of benzodiazepines capable of sedating a 200 lb. human being even though the person I am speaking of was only 110 lbs at most. We immediately removed our family member from this facility and I apologize for not posting this review sooner. Thank God we got there before the faculty at Ave Maria gave our family member anymore benzodiazepines because they evidently were not worried at all about the comfort of my family member who was under their "care"

Ave Maria Home is clean and well-maintained. The food is good and the staff is friendly. It's not as upscale as the other communities I have visited, but it's not as expensive either. I would recommend them. They have field trips once in a while, card games, social hours, and an exercise room.

Ave Maria Home was a nice, clean, large place that felt very isolated to me. The people seemed to be fine, but it would be a great distance from my house, and if my mother needs me, I want to be able to get to her right away. We were given a tour by someone who didn't know the community properly.

My mother lived at Ave Maria in the assisted living apartments for eleven years following the death of my did. She loved, loved, loved, living there. She had a regular poker game every single night at 6:00 PM and would plan to go on our family outings after consulting the activities schedule. She loved TH night bingo and Saturday afternoon bingo. The staff would go out of their way to make sure my mother was happy. I think she liked the food and she gained weight while there. The activities van driver would take her anywhere she wanted to go. The nursing staff seemed to really care about my mother. I wish my dad had lived there but he died while they lived in South Florida. Administration has always been very involved and is visible throughout the building. Lots of long term people working there.

Ave Maria was top notch. They had a wide range of services. The staff was very good. They were very attentive to details, and they seemed to care. The sanitation was very good. One of my parents used it as a recovery facility.

Ave Maria Home Care Services was the only one that would charge by the hour instead of having a minimum of four hours. There's about three people that come and it's mainly medication management and then transportation, so it works really well for my parents. I would definitely recommend them.

I visited the facility on a Friday morning. There were a lot of workers and nurses moving about. The facility was nice and clean and had a fresh smell. The entry way looked like the entrance to a club house, which gave it an upbeat feel. Each staff member I encountered was very friendly. I was escorted to one of the apartments by a young lady who answered all of my questions and was very polite. When I got to the apartment, I was pleasantly surprised by the space and decor. The apartment was very modern, had wall to wall carpet and walk in closets. Ave Marie also offers a lot of activities for the residents, which is a wonderful thing for people who are now retired and have a lot of time on their hands. I believe they have a monthly calendar that is published each month full of things to do. And the facility is located in Bartlett, TN which is a very safe and residential area. All in all it seems like a great place for seniors. All in all it seems like a great place for seniors.

My grandmother lived in Ave Maria assisted living for a year before she died. I visited her there many times. There was plenty of parking, but the outside area was not all concrete - the grounds were always beautiful, with green grass and many flowers. The residents had chairs to sit on outside and get fresh air. The building itself also looked really nice from the outside. Walking in made you think you were in a country club - it was classy yet welcoming. My grandmother spent a lot of time upstairs in the library, where residents had access to many shelves of books. She also often played cards with her friends in a public living room area. There were many open spaces for the guests to be social. Her room was very nice, set up like a studio apartment with a sitting area, space for her bed, and a private bathroom. She was allowed to decorate as she pleased, and seemed very happy there.
