Arbor Terrace of Knoxville

My grandmother has been living in Arbor Terrace for the past two years, and my family and I have been very pleased with the level of care that she has received. The staff at Arbor Terrace have made every effort to allow her to live as independently as possible, and even with her failing memory, they have been sure to give her opportunities to socialize with other residents. She is still in good health, and I largely credit the care she has received for that. The facility is clean and the apartments do not seem like a hospital facility. The level of communication between staff members and our family has been appropriate, and the staff puts on several outreach events every year (such as Thanksgiving dinner) that allows our family to spend time with my grandmother. Though it is by no means the least expensive assisted living center in Knoxville, I think that it is an excellent value, and I would highly recommend it for other families that are considering where to place their loved one.

When my grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in early 2010, she moved in with my mother. Unfortunately, she declined rapidly. Soon, the burden of bathing her, feeding her and taking care of her was too much. We found Arbor Terrace at the recommendation of one of her doctors. Although this home offers assisted living services, they also specialize in helping patients with memory issues. She entered the home in late 2010. Since that time, we have become quite close to some of the staff members. They take excellent care of my grandmother. I feel comfortable knowing she is there. We visit with her at least once a week. The rooms are nice, and she shares a room with another woman. The food is actually really great, and my grandmother still gets to garden from time to time. I would recommend this nursing home. I can't speak for the assisted living part of the facility, but they take excellent care of the patients with degenerative memory issues.
