Our mother Juanetta Dunbar was in the Nashville nursing home until the time of her death. She had a lot of issues and every needs she had was met. I love all the activities they do with all the residents. It is so hard to keep that many people pleased, but the nursing staff constantly kept in touch with us and the activity. Director was amazing. She was never bored while she was there, and we knew when we couldn’t be there, she was always taken care of the nursing staff treated her like she was their mama.

Axiom and the staff have provided excellent care for my loved one! Missy Reed has recently came in as the director. She has put full effort into creating a successful operation and it shows! I can't say enough good things. I would recommend to anyone needing help with their loved ones to explore the options at Axiom Nashville.

Great place. The healthcare team there cares about the overall health and well being of the residents. The residents are the heart of every thing they do. They offer rehab to home and in-house therapy services as well as in house psych services. You can call and schedule a tour.

I have bought things for a friend of mine such as sippy cup, cushion for her wheel chair, blanket, and tupperwares. I understand maybe they are being washed but why is it that every time I go I never see those things again. I started putting her name on stuff but they still go missing. I don’t know what do so at this point.
