About Abe's Garden
Abe's Garden seeks to establish a national model of residential living and daycare programs for those suffering with Alzheimer's disease and dementia throughout the United States. Its goal is to provide an unprecedented level of care and comprehensive array of services for individuals suffering from these diseases in Middle Tennessee. Equally important, it will be a site of research and teaching, setting a new standard for future programs and facilities caring for our nation’s rapidly expanding senior population.
The Metro Planning Commission and thereafter, the Metro Council, speedily and unanimously approved the organization’s special (SP) zoning proposal. The SP zoning included self-imposed environmentally friendly standards such as improved impervious surface ratio and establishing a permanent conservation easement.
Abe’s Garden will be the first in the United States to partner with a major medical university to transform the full continuum of Alzheimer’s patient care, while also serving as a center of research and training in this field of study.
Abe’s Garden will complete the construction of the entire project in two distinct phases. Phase one will include the residential , respite and daycare (The Club) services for 54 participants of Abe’s Garden; 19 assisted living units, 22 nursing and hospice units, energy efficiency and otherwise necessary renovation to Park Manor, and site improvement (including a 3-acre park).
Phase two will be a new 64 unit senior independent living midrise tower on a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) financial model “Phase One and Phase Two Massing Schedule”.
