How many secured dementia beds does Brookdale Browns Creek report?
Yes. The October 2026 bed report credits Brookdale Browns Creek with 18 secured beds within its 52-bed license; Tennessee treats a secured unit as a distinct area where residents are deliberately kept from leaving except as fire safety requires.
Because the unit is locked, the state adds safeguards: a three-person admission evaluation (physician, registered nurse and a family member or advocate), quarterly reviews, a daily staffing record and a round-the-clock awake attendant on the unit itself. Read the full secured-unit rules.

Yes. The state lists 1 disciplinary action for Brookdale Browns Creek, most recently on September 23, 2026; Tennessee can fine an ACLF up to $1,000 per violation for most care and records problems and up to $3,000 per resident for keeping someone the building is not allowed to serve.

Nearly all of these orders in Tennessee are consent orders, where the operator pays the penalty instead of going to a hearing. The order itself describes what surveyors found; ask the administrator what changed afterward.
