Nashville, Tennessee (January 7, 2020) – As building construction nears completion on Nashville’s all-new senior living community, Clarendale at Bellevue Place has hired two leaders to help residents transition to their new home. Leslie Brown will serve as Director of Sales and Marketing, and Claudia Buchanan will serve as Director of Memory Care.

Located within the development of One Bellevue Place, Clarendale at Bellevue Place will provide independent living, assisted living and memory care all under one roof. The staffing additions help round out a team that will be welcoming the senior living community’s first residents in the coming weeks of 2020.

“We are delighted to have Leslie and Claudia join the Clarendale at Bellevue Place team—especially now,” says Brandon Bornstein, executive director. “Leslie has the experience, passion and dedication it takes to help Nashville-area families find the right senior living solutions. While Claudia has the credentials, expertise and background to prove she’s the right person to lead our two highly specialized memory care neighborhoods.”

Brown brings more than 20 years of experience in sales and marketing to her Clarendale role, with the last decade primarily focused on health care. A native Nashvillian, she is a graduate of Auburn University.

“I consider myself lucky to have found a position at Clarendale that taps into my desire to help families,” says Brown. “Through much of my career, I’ve been an advocate for seniors and those who love and support them. And in my personal life, I’m passionate about fundraising for charities benefitting the disabled. So, I guess you could say I have a heart for making myself useful to help others. Clarendale senior living solutions will allow me to do just that.”

Buchanan is an experienced Chaplain and also a Certified Dementia Practitioner, specializing in bereavement care, so she brings unique qualifications to her position as Clarendale’s Director of Memory Care. Also, her loving commitment to dementia leadership is personal: Buchanan cared for her own parents in their final years.

“I have experience with our Clarendale at Bellevue Place sister community in Hendersonville, so I’m confident residents and their families will find this community just as attractive in Nashville,” says Buchanan. “The residential setting is designed to make those who live here feel at home, but perhaps more important, our heartfelt approach to care, known as Heartfelt CONNECTIONS – A Memory Care Program®, truly offers individuals with memory loss a sense of safety, security and quality of life seldom found at other communities.”

According to the newest staff members, Brown and Buchanan, the emphasis on quality of life and total wellness is true of all neighborhoods at Clarendale at Bellevue Place.

Bornstein explains, “The focus—whether in our independent living and assisted living neighborhoods or in memory care—is on total health and wellness. In fact, our Health & Wellness Navigation™ program helps ensure that residents can navigate any medical challenges that may lie ahead. It’s a comfort to both residents and their families.”
