Two Industry Leaders.
One Powerful Vision.

The Education and Advisory Division of world-renowned memory care and engagement consultancy Hearthstone Institute have merged into Nashville-based nonprofit organization and internationally recognized senior living provider Abe’s Garden Community.

Now, Hearthstone Institute at Abe’s Garden (HIAG) can make industrywide advancements by training other senior living providers on brain health and memory support best practices while also offering valuable caregiving education and engagement tools to families living their dementia journey.

Simply put, the merger will provide significant advancements in the delivery of care and quality of life for people living with dementia and those who care for and about them.

Created with Purpose

Abe’s Garden Community was founded in honor of Abram “Abe” Shmerling, MD, whose Alzheimer’s diagnosis caused his family to recognize – and want to address – the need for a memory care community that improves the quality of dementia care. Abe remains the inspiration behind everything we do, as we expand our brain health approach to reach more seniors on and off campus.
