About

People, Place and Community

Our leadership, management, and sister communities instill confidence in Clarendale…

Clarendale at Bellevue Place is a senior living community offering three lifestyle choices—independent living, assisted living, and memory care—all under one roof in a residential neighborhood in Nashville, Tennessee.

For only a simple monthly fee, this community provides gracious, comfortable surroundings that keep residents connected to the people, places and things they love most.

Our Leadership Team

Fran Trupiano Headshot

As the Executive Director, Frances ensures the daily operations of the community are overseen with thought and care. Fran’s first job was as a server in an assisted living community when she was 16 and she knew then that she wanted to dedicate her life to ensuring this population was well cared for and advocated for. After completing her bachelor's degree at Western Michigan University, this Michigander relocated to Tennessee, and it has loving become her home. With over ten years of experience in the senior living and active adult space, she has expanded her knowledge and became a certified dementia practitioner where she continues her dedication and advocacy for dementia residents. No part of daily operations is too big or too small and each is met with thoughtfulness and dedication to provide excellence to the residents, families, and staff.

Anna Otis

Anna assists prospective residents and families to find a comfortable home in our community. She has always wanted to make a difference in someone’s life. Her love and passion run deep for seniors since a young age as she used to volunteer at communities. She comes all the way from Washington State but enjoys living in the south and the friendly culture. Anna holds a Bachelor of Science in Organizational Communication from Middle Tennessee State University.

Andrew Clark

Andrew Clark is a chef that works with both the cooks and the serving staff to ensure the residents receive a high-quality dining experience. Andrew knows that the most important time of day for many residents is mealtimes. I believe that every person who comes to eat with us deserves the best food and the best service. Andrew has worked in several different fine dining restaurants in Nashville such as Silo and Ellington’s. Andrew has had the opportunity to learn under some great chefs and work with a variety of people. The most rewarding experience, however, has been working with the Clarendale community. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing the residents happy.

Ryan

Keeping building operations running smoothly is an important job, and as Director of Plant Operations, Ryan has proven he has the skills and background to do it. He has nearly 10 years of experience maintaining facilities in the hospitality industry, and perhaps more important, Ryan is committed to doing everything he can to make sure Clarendale at Bellevue Place residents stay safe, comfortable and feeling right at home.

Blake

Blake ensures a smooth transition to Clarendale and applies a solutions-oriented mindset to helping residents settle into their new homes. He knows taking care of residents and their families is of utmost importance. Blake’s background in hospitality allows him to offer attention to detail as he prepares an apartment to welcome the new resident and when organizing logistics for moving day.

Jordan Uselton

Jordan works with organizations throughout the region to develop strong relationships and community resources. He is passionate about serving seniors who are looking to transition to senior living in the Nashville area—stemming from a family deeply rooted in senior care. With over 20 years of expertise in hospitality, sales and marketing, Jordan is proud to serve his community of Bellevue.

Gina Harris

Gina Farris, Director of Life Enrichment, plans and promotes a wide-ranging activities schedule, to engage our residents and enhance their quality of life with social, physical, spiritual, and cognitive activities 7 days a week. She understands the importance of connection and community. Gina is dedicated and passionate about activities and joins us with 15 years of experience working with seniors. She is a native Knoxvillian and graduate of the University of Tennessee with a Bachelor of Science in Communication.

JaMarcus Corlew headshot

This educational background aligns perfectly with his previous experience in clinical education at a reputable hospital, where he played a crucial role in training and educating nursing staff.   Jamarcus's commitment to excellence in healthcare and his expertise in nursing education makes him an invaluable asset to the healthcare team. He brings a wealth of knowledge, leadership, and compassion to his role, ensuring that residents receive the highest quality care possible.

Kay Jones Headshot

Kay Jones has over three decades of dedicated and compassionate nursing experience. She received her Nursing Degree from Union University in Jackson, TN and a master's degree in Nursing with a specialty in Chronic Adult Health from Vanderbilt. Her unwavering commitment to improving patient outcomes will help ensure the highest standard of care for our Memory Care residents.
