Yes: the Health Facilities Commission lists Parkway Cove Memory Care as a licensed ACLF with 42 beds, smaller than the 78-bed median for the 35 licensed ACLFs in Shelby, Fayette and Tipton counties.

It has held a Tennessee license since 1998, and the license renews every year on its original anniversary date under rule 0720-26-.03(4).

When did Tennessee last inspect Parkway Cove Memory Care?

According to the state listing, surveyors last visited Parkway Cove Memory Care on July 30, 2024 (27 months back).

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 Parkway Cove Memory Care 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 Parkway Cove Memory Care?

None are listed: the HFC record for Parkway Cove Memory Care shows no disciplinary actions, and no action against it appears in the state's Facility Action and Abuse Reports since January 2025.

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.

Can Parkway Cove Memory Care care for someone with dementia who wanders?

Yes: HFC's October 2026 bed report lists 30 secured beds at Parkway Cove Memory Care out of 42, which Tennessee defines as a distinct part of the facility where residents are intentionally denied egress except for life safety.

Tennessee's secured-unit rule asks for one awake attendant on the unit at all times, a three-person evaluation before admission, a quarterly review of whether the placement still fits, and yearly Alzheimer's training for 100% of unit staff (0720-26-.08(9)).

• Ask how many staff are awake overnight, and whether medications are given by licensed nurses or certified medication aides.
• Ask to see the secured unit's daily staffing log; the rule requires it to be recorded every day.
• 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.
