About Brookdale Franklin (Independent Living)

Redefine your retirement with endless possibilities and experiences, at Brookdale Franklin. Here, at one of Brookdale’s premiere independent living communities, you can enjoy the sweet comforts of home paired with luxury. Located just 20 miles from downtown Nashville and two miles from Interstate 65, you will find the community is close to a variety of restaurants and entertainment venues, and is just a short distance from Williamson Medical Center. Rest assured, Brookdale’s compassionate team is also available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to be alerted to any emergencies. An alert system is also in place, to offer additional safety. While Brookdale’s trained team assists with your housekeeping and home maintenance, you’ll be free to enjoy homemade meals, crafted daily with fresh ingredients. With less chores to keep track of, you’ll also have plenty of time to create your own schedule and embrace a variety of resort-style amenities on-site. Check out the community’s fitness center, the well-stocked library, the game room, or the arts and crafts studio, just to name a few options. A community movie theater — with ample seating and even a popcorn machine — is available to enjoy at your leisure, as well as a cozy fireside living room and a convenient rental space. Host a special gathering with your closest friends and family and invite them to stay the night in the community guest suite! Transportation assistance and concierge services can also be accessed, to simplify your days even more. Community Services and Amenities Participate in daily activities with peers or map out your own schedule with friends and family members. Plant your favorite flowers in the garden, or unwind quietly in the courtyard with your favorite beverage. You have plenty of choices here. Additional conveniences include a beauty/barber shop, a kitchen, meeting rooms, a piano, and a delivery service that can be used as needed. Brookdale’s Personal Solutions delivery program allows you to save an unnecessary trip to the store — just submit a list of items you need, such as body lotion, shampoo, or other necessities, and staff will deliver them to you privately. Best of all, you will not be charged for the delivery!

The apartments range in size from 438 to 834 square feet, and each is designed with homey, comfortable features. Residents are encouraged to bring their furry friends along for the ride, of course. That’s right, this community is pet-friendly! Embrace your golden years to the fullest when you call Brookdale Franklin your home.

the strengths outweigh the weaknesses

Some of the things we like best at the community is that it is a clean environment and always cheerful. Our loved one is very known and welcomed each day by the dining staff. Our loved one does enjoy the food and the dining staff as well as the van driver are always so kind. However, they could improve on having their leadership be more present and being out and about with the residents. They do have a great array of activities and bus trips, but they could seek our new participates and ask for them to join. Also,

Surprising new experience full of peace.

The staff is kind and always helpful. They are full of cheer and never act like they don't understand what you need. Everyone I have met who has been elsewhere says they are so satisfied with the decision to come here. It is a peaceful but happy place.

Brookdale Franklin (Independent Living) review

It is great, we love it, highly recommend, staff is down to earth and very welcoming. Night and day from our experience at Somerby. Residents are awesome and very kind. My mom felt at home from the day she got there. Food could use some improving but overall it is a wonderful very homey place to be. [name removed](sales) and [name removed] (the director) are incredible to work with.

Brookdale has been the perfect place

The food is almost always good. My father in law is super picky about food and consistently says that they need to do a better job with how they prepare it. I'd like them to know that they do everything possible to make the residence feel like family and I'm not just saying that. They are super nice and accommodating to my father-in-law. The director since the most well thought out written emails every single week that address the residence by name and I really love that. Even when he forgets an appointment and tel
