Nice Place but be patient
Communication is not their strong suit, so if you are going to need to talk to anyone at the facility put on your patient pants. I would recommend to others.

Beautiful campus, immediately you notice how clean everything is at the community.
There is a young man (17yrs old) in the main dining room. His name is [name removed]& senior in school. Such a well mannered, respectful person. He wants to serve in our military service. God bless him

I really liked the facility however I did not care for the way we were made to feel it was all about money. the way that they told us to leave and let them do their job and then immediately called us back and told us that my father was an elopement risk. We had to hire a babysitter to sit with my dad for 12 hrs a day (at $[fee removed] per hr) for 4 days because they said they could not keep him there without assistance. Then my father was so adamant about going home when we tried to visit him that we had to drop things off for him (because we could not see him the first few days without him getting really upset) that were not given to him or put up in his room like his shower curtain. Then we found out that after leaving him be for a few days so that he could get adjusted to the place and get familiar with the people. They were not making sure that he was taking care of himself like showering. My aunt went by to see him and he had not showered in days and was wearing the same clothes that he was wearing when we dropped him off, which was nine days later. So no, I was not very happy with their treatment of my dad, the quality of care that he got or the compassion that they showed.

I believe these are accurate based on my experience and opinions. If you recommend Traditions of Smyrna to anyone please use my name to the management if they decide to move here. We have regular outings for lunch , ice cream shop visits, and coffee shop outings. They also take non-drivers to grocery stores, and a $[removed] food allowance is counted in your monthly rent and hot breakfast, lunch, and dinner are prepared for you until you use all your allowance. There is a Bistro in the building that will prepare most anything you would want. Each meal costs a certain amount that is subtracted from your monthly allowance until it's spent, you can still buy more if you want and it will be added to your next monthly payment. in this community if you don't have anything to do it's only because you don't want to do anything.

Since we were in the independent living area when they first got started, there wasn't a lot of staff interaction or a lot of activities planned. My mom is no longer there, she's actually moved into a rental house, cause she wasn't quite ready for the apartment. My mother-in-law is there now and I think offerings have expanded a lot. I think she gets physical therapy and enjoys the music activities and things like that.

They promised a lot but they offered very little but I was not in the assistant living. I was in the independent living section. They seemed to like it there

Administrative staff - they are very attentive before signing but dragging feet on some issues after signed and moved on. Food - taste is good but availability and quantity inconsistent. Activities - appear to have plenty for assisted living per Facebook page. No personal involvement. Value for the money - again independent living - food allowance is included in rent and can not be removed and does not carry over month over month if unused.

Ratings were based upon my experience vs what I was expecting when we moved in. Visit often, and beware of the quality and the value price points. Facility is very pricey and makes enormous price increases and is no difference in the care or service received.

The staff and caregivers at all levels are friendly, compassionate, and respectful. The facilities are clean, upscale, and welcoming. The activity opportunities are many and encouraged. We are so grateful to have found such a place with many levels of care opportunities.

It is a very nice facility but also at the high end of the price scale. Her room started at $[removed]/month and then was increased to$[removed]/month. It is well staffed with capable and friendly workers. We have had however had to challenge them sometimes to get mom to leave her room and participate in more activities with others and have had a couple of issues with lost clothing and their laundry service. No place is perfect and overall we are very happy with the level of care that they provide.

My family cannot in good conscience recommend Traditions of Smyrna to any potential residents. We have experienced poor management, medication mismanagement, multiple falls, and lack of communication of things we contracted for based on my MILs level of service we are paying for. Verify the credentials and experience of those caring for your family member as their decision have long reaching consequences.

Facility looks very clean overall. Not sure if the staff is maintaining the cleaning schedule. They may only clean when they see something as dirty. Staff is very friendly. I noticed that they do not follow the menu as posted. Meals do not look very appetizing . The memory care resident that can choose what they want to eat are not given that opportunity. All residents get the same meal. No 7pm snacks are given to the residents. The facility does not follow activity calendar . I have visited various times of the day and evening no activities being done in Memory care area. Only activities are done around holidays sometimes. The site does have a few Techs that try to interact with a few of the residents so they are not just sitting around doing nothing but this does not happen daily. Seems that all activities are focused on other Residents. Facilities is very expensive with all area advertised not truly being fulfilled. Overall it is a very nice facility. I would recommend to families whose love one is not active. Not enough activities for an active resident with just memory loss.

Traditions of Smyrna is the most beautiful building I have toured. The independent living is clean, modern and vibrant. The staff are engaging and the food is terrific. The best decision we have ever made was to move to Traditions of Smyrna. I couldn't be happier!

My mom was previously a resident at Traditions of Smyrna and I blame them for letting my mom get in bad shape. They didn't let anyone know the nurse left a month before we had to move her. I told her to get the Dr to check for a UI. I didn't know she was leaving. They never checked, and that's what mom died from. They said they could no longer care for my mom, and gave me only 3 weeks to find a new home.

The facility is close to restaurants and other businesses that you need. The hospital is 3 minutes away. All of my doctors are close also. It's 20 minutes from the town of Murfreesboro which is a fairly large town. The people are friendly and treat you well.
