About this community
Abe’s Garden Community is a Nashville nonprofit senior living campus at 115 Woodmont Boulevard offering independent living, assisted living and memory support. The community was founded in honor of Abram Shmerling, MD, whose Alzheimer’s diagnosis led his family to seek better dementia care, and it uses the I’m Still Here approach to engagement in its memory support program. Home care and day program services extend the campus offerings to older adults who live elsewhere.
