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 Southbreeze Assisted Living 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.

Can Southbreeze Assisted Living care for someone with dementia who wanders?
Yes: HFC's October 2026 bed report lists 32 secured beds at Southbreeze Assisted Living out of 88, which Tennessee defines as a distinct part of the facility where residents are intentionally denied egress except for life safety.
A secured unit must keep at least one awake attendant physically on the unit around the clock, admit residents only after a physician, a registered nurse and a family member or advocate evaluate them, review each placement quarterly, and train every unit worker each year (0720-26-.08(9)).
