Bailey Manor Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care Facility

Cookeville’s first primary Alzheimer’s and dementia care facility -- a 20,500 square-foot, single-story structure, located at 580 E. Veterans Drive.

Bailey Manor features 28 bedrooms, a 2,400 square-foot living room with fireplace and coffered ceilings, dining room, commercial kitchen, beauty shop, rehabilitation room, an employee break room, office area, care station and state-of-the-art security system with keypad access control for entering and exiting.

The building was designed to have more of a residential mood with an open floor plan to give residents the sense that they are living at home rather than in a care facility. The facility includes hallways that are easily navigated and easy access to outdoor spaces and common areas to promote social interaction. A secured 8,100 square-foot exterior courtyard is also located at the backside of the facility to provide a natural setting to residents.

The 208 square-foot residential rooms also have an at-home feel, featuring individual restrooms, carpet and windows to allow natural lighting. The facility also offers four two-bedroom units to accommodate residents who wish to have a roommate.

“I’m very excited about this,” Barbara Davis, RN and executive director, said. “We’ve got a lot of interest in the facility. There is a definite need.

The main covered canopy showcasing the front of the facility features a fiberglass cupola, PVC balustrade system and precast columns. The roof is a mixture of shingle and membrane to mask any equipment needed to maintain the building’s heating and cooling.

The exterior of the facility is Hardieplank® lap siding and brick veneer. The low e, single hung windows will help maintain a classic appearance while the aluminum canopies will further assist with unwanted heat infiltration caused by sunlight.

Bailey Manor is a family-owned company that specializes and caters only to Alzheimer’s and dementia care. With existing facilities located in Manchester, Winchester and Fayetteville, this project was Bailey Manor’s fourth Middle Tennessee location.

J&S Construction completed this project within the contracted schedule and under budget.
