Is Fireside Villa's state inspection up to date?

That is longer than the 15-month interval Tennessee's ACLF rule sets for unannounced inspections (0720-26-.05(1)). The public listing can lag behind actual visits, so ask Fireside Villa for its most recent statement of deficiencies and plan of correction, which it should be able to produce.
Across all 35 licensed ACLFs in the three counties, the median gap since the last listed survey is 27 months.
Has Tennessee taken disciplinary action against Fireside Villa?
HFC lists no disciplinary action for Fireside Villa, and the Facility Action and Abuse Reports published since January 2025 do not name it.
Enforcement orders are reserved for more serious or repeated problems. Ordinary survey findings never reach this list, so the latest survey report is still worth reading.
Does Fireside Villa have a secured memory care unit?
Not according to the state: HFC's October 2026 bed report lists no secured beds at Fireside Villa, so a resident who begins exit-seeking would usually need a facility with a secured unit.
Residents with mild memory loss can live in an unsecured ACLF if they can still evacuate on their own. The nearest licensed ACLFs with secured beds are The Pointe at Kirby Gate (22 secured beds, 2.1 mi), The Summit of Germantown (29 secured beds, 2.1 mi), Ciel of Germantown (26 secured beds, 4.2 mi).

What questions does Fireside Villa's record raise?
Start with what its own record raises: the listed survey date is 55 months old; ask for the most recent survey report and plan of correction.
- Ask how many staff are awake overnight, and whether medications are given by licensed nurses or certified medication aides.
- Ask whether the facility accepts TennCare CHOICES members for Assisted Care Living Facility services, and what room and board costs if it does.
- Ask for the written fee schedule; Tennessee requires 30 days' notice of any fee change and written disclosure of liability insurance before admission.
