About Us

Alderwood of Davidson County

Centered in Our Community

Inspired by the Alder trees that line our local waterways, the name Alderwood reflects our role as a natural source of resilience and healing for our community. Just as the Alder trees restore the land and its roots hold riverbanks, we provide a strong, grounded presence for families navigating serious illness. Our mission embodies this same strength—providing a safe, peaceful sanctuary where everyone is met with deep presence and dignity at life’s most vulnerable moments.
