MIAMI – Lloyd Jones, a real estate investment firm headquartered in Miami, announced today the acquisition of Maybelle Carter, a 131-unit, senior living community in Madison, Tennessee. The property will operate under Lloyd Jones’ proprietary Sage Hill brand as Sage Hill Maybelle Carter.

Maybelle Carter Assisted Living is Lloyd Jones’ third senior housing acquisition this year. In February, the firm added two Class-A communities to its senior-living portfolio: Aviva Woodlands in Lincoln, Nebraska, and River Bend in Rochester, Minnesota.

A well-established and trusted independent living, assisted living, and memory care community, Sage Hill Maybelle Carter is just minutes to East Nashville and built on the former estate of country music legend “Mother” Maybelle Carter. Through a comprehensive renovation program, an iconic heirloom will be newly reimagined. Updates include new finishes throughout the lobby, public spaces, corridors, and residences to reflect the Lloyd Jones Sage Hill brand. The majestic grounds will be beautifully restored, with the addition of new patios and seating areas to enjoy green space throughout the community. The exterior will be refreshed with new paint, and there will be new updated signage. To pay homage to the rich musical legacy of the property, live and recorded music will be an integral part of the community, and selected memorabilia from the Cash/Carter.

Residents of Sage Hill Maybelle Carter can enjoy chef-prepared, restaurant-quality meals served daily, spacious common areas, shuffleboard, dog park, and vast outdoor courtyards and community garden.

Sage Hill Maybelle Carter will deliver our residents a welcoming lifestyle, excellent services, and a focus on family and social relationships while celebrating the legacy of Maybelle Carter

Comfortably elegant, distinctively southern, and constantly attentive describes our new community. This acquisition marks the official launch of our new Sage Hill middle income brand.

– says Vice Chairman, Tod Petty

VIENNA, Va. – Shelters to Shutters (S2S), a national non-profit that provides talent for the multifamily real estate industry while transitioning individuals and families from homelessness to economic self-sufficiency, today announced a $100,000 donation from Miami, Fla.-based Lloyd Jones LLC, a real estate investment, development, and management firm specializing in multifamily and senior housing.

“This investment gives us the ability to bring our proven model to the Orlando area and begin operations with a local Executive Director and City Advisory Board. We are thrilled that Lloyd Jones is paving the way to make this growth possible. We believe this will be just the start of multifamily companies in Florida partnering with us to provide employment and housing opportunities to the deserving individuals we serve,” David Williams, President and CEO, Shelters to Shutters

S2S partners with over 40 apartment management companies – such as Lloyd Jones Multifamily Management, AvalonBay Communities, Gables Residential and Freeman Webb – to place people experiencing situational homelessness in on-site, entry-level jobs and provide them with housing at the same communities where they work. Each participant is provided with career mentoring and access to support services to ensure a successful long-term transition. S2S works with a number of homeless-focused non-profits to identify suitable job applicants, changing the lives of individuals and families and providing quality, motivated employees for a rapidly growing industry in need of talent.

“We are proud to partner with Shelters to Shutters to bring this impactful program to Florida,” said Chris Finlay, Lloyd Jones CEO. “As the demand for rental housing continues to rise in many U.S. markets, so does the need for qualified candidates to work in the property management industry. We look forward to working with Shelters to Shutters to find new talent to meet this growing demand for our industry while simultaneously changing lives for the better.”

Eighty-three percent of those experiencing homelessness in the U.S. are situationally homeless due to a life-altering event such as job loss, medical or health emergency, divorce, domestic abuse or the loss of a primary income earner. The donation from Lloyd Jones will help further ensure Shelters to Shutters can serve more people who want to work and return to a life of self-sufficiency.

Shelters to Shutters currently operates in five major markets: Atlanta, Charlotte, Houston, Nashville and the National Capital Region. Orlando will be the sixth market for Shelters to Shutters.
