True Essence of Southern Living
Nashville, also known as The City of Dogwoods, is the county seat of Berrien County. It has the convenience and technology of larger communities but is still loaded with southern charm and the atmosphere one would expect in the old south.
Our community is set on five acres next door to South Georgia Medical Center’s Berrien County campus and is conveniently located near several local physicians’ offices, and the heart of Nashville’s restaurant scene and shopping district is only a few blocks away.

All team members are specially trained to provide residents with expert care. Direct care staff is available 24-hours a day to assist with activities of daily living including bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, mobility, eating, and transportation.
