Support for the Whole Person
Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s or dementia at home can be rewarding but also overwhelming. Many families struggle with the decision to seek professional care, fearing a clinical or impersonal setting. That is why we do things differently at Maple Cottage Memory Care.
We believe every senior deserves to be valued for who they are, not defined by their diagnoses or care needs. With only seventeen private suites, our intimate setting allows deeply personalized care that respects each resident’s unique preferences, routines and history.
Understanding Unspoken Needs
Cognitive changes can make it hard for a person to say what they need. Our team takes the time to learn each resident’s individual cues and responds with close attention and compassion:
- Recognizing discomfort and providing timely relief
- Encouraging hydration and nutrition with thoughtfully prepared meals
- Supporting personal care routines with dignity and patience
- Balancing social engagement and quiet time based on personal preferences
- Creating opportunities for music, art and movement to spark joy and connection
The Oasis Approach
Our philosophy of care, The Oasis Approach, prioritizes familiarity, personal connections and meaningful experiences to create a comforting and uplifting daily life. We focus on what residents can do and on keeping each day full of small joys.
Nursing Oversight and Coordinated Care
Maple Cottage is Registered-Nurse-owned, and our RN owners oversee an LPN manager and caregiving team. A Nurse Practitioner visits regularly, we partner with Medicare-certified home health agencies, and we coordinate with Medicare-certified hospice providers when needed.

Safe, With Freedom of Movement
A discreet resident security system helps prevent wandering while allowing freedom of movement, so residents can enjoy their home without feeling restricted.
Ask for our written dementia care disclosure. Tennessee law requires communities that market specialized care for people living with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias to give families a written disclosure describing that care. When you call, ask us for our disclosure and about our state licensure. We are glad to go over both with you.

Families Share Their Experience
“Maple Cottage is fabulous! … Maple Cottage has a full-time activities director and they are doing something almost every hour throughout the afternoon. … The facility is small and the staff has time to give residents real, meaningful contact and conversation. They have a great understanding of how to engage the residents!”
“…the staff has been so very helpful and supportive dealing with his changes. They've offered me guidance in decisions that needed to be made. … In caring for my dad, they're also caring for me.”
