Assisted Living Communities in Athens, TN

"I chose Jamestowne Assisted Living for my mom because of the cost and the care. They're rated pretty high, and when my wife and I talked to them, we liked the people and liked the way it was. The people there are nice. I like them a lot. My mom is happy there. She doesn't have to share a room, and it's cheaper than the one that she would have to share a room with at the other place. She has her own room, and it is a good size. She also has good people there. The price is the cheapest in the area, and I thought they're the best of all of them. I also have tried the food, and it is really good. Right now, my mom spent a couple of hours in physical therapy, and then they helped her walk down hallways. They have other activities, but she hasn't gotten involved with them yet because she can't get around as much as she wants to. We haven't paid attention to the activities, but I see an activity sheet on the wall, and they have something going on every day, so they're busy. I know they do quite a few field trips and stuff like that, and she wants to go on those. They're super clean. They're always cleaning, and they're always sanitizing. Their food is restaurant quality. My mom loves their food. She has a high standard for food, and she loves Jamestowne's food."

"My wife and I both have been using Life Care Center of Athens for our rehab and 24/7 nursing needs. I have had two knee replacements on my left knee and one on my right. My wife had a hip replacement and we could not be more pleased with the care we have received. I have used the out patient therapy services at Life Care Athens after discharging home. Tremendous place to come for therapy and nursing 24/7 care. Atmosphere at Life Care is Great!"

"My mom has been here for almost a year. They have been a godsend!"

"Morning Pointe appeared to be a caring place and clean. It appeared kind of old. I saw them playing Bingo. They have spacious rooms. "

"This place is very quiet. It has a deck and many sitting areas for the residents. Another reason why we chose this place for my mother in law is that it's out in the country. She's used to this lifestyle. Her room is bigger compared to the one she has at home. She has a small table beside her bed, two chairs (one is a rocking chair), her own bathroom, and a nice, small walk in closet. The staff is really nice to her. She actually thinks they are her family. They pay attention to her needs. Since she's diabetic, they make sure her meals are always on time. They give her a small snack whenever she feels weak, they help her prepare for church and get her hair done. They've been great; they keep in touch with us if there are problems. Some activities present in this place are having the residents' nails done, planting flowers and watching TV together. However, it's better if residents have their own TV in their rooms. My mom became healthier after weeks when we brought her to this place. They are really taking good care of her. "

"This is a small 10 bed facility. The residents seem to be well adjusted, the caregivers are dedicated and care about the residents and facility. The main community living room could use some sprucing up, it seems to be a little cluttered. The facility was clean and well organized. All in all this is a lovely place to live and visit. The staff was caring and compassionate. "

"Wood Presbyterian Home was very friendly, and it was very clean. They weren't trying to hide anything. The other thing is on the same site is a nursing home, so when my uncle gets to where he needs a nursing home, he can stay right here in the same facility. I saw all three levels of care. They have an exercise room, they have nurses on staff, they have a library, they have community rooms, they have a dining room, and then they have an outside courtyard."

"My mother-in-law is a resident of Golden Years Retirement Resort II. The people seem to be very caring. They seem to take a personal interest in her and the family. She had COVID twice, I think, since she's been there, and they've kept us in the process of that. They have a nurse who comes in regularly to see the residents. The nurse has called me personally and we've talked about my mother-in-law. When we go to visit, her room is always clean. The facility is clean. There's no odor. She seems well cared for. However, they don't have rehab there. They don't have physical therapists who come in. They could have more activities that would be better for the residents. She likes the food. It's an older building. The kitchen is small where they prepare the food, and the dining room, however, is very clean. They'll take them to Spring City, a very small town, and the only thing they have is a Dollar Store or something like that, but they do take them on outings. I would like them to have more on-site activities, ideally."

"How can we thank you enough for the way in which you cared for our Mother / Grandmother. It was so important to our family that Mother / Grandmother was able to spend her last days in such a caring environment with such an impeccably high standard of care, delivered with such warmth. "

"We have chosen Avail Senior Living for my mother-in-law. Their studio room is very spacious, and they provide a small refrigerator and a microwave. It is a newer facility, it's just a year old. It is very bright and airy, and there's a lot of sunlight coming through. They have sunrooms with skylights. They have a nice little courtyard and screened porches. The dining room was nice and spacious. Carrie was the one who gave us a tour of the place. She was great and we even talked to the owner, and they were both accommodating."

"The Courtyard was great; it was up to date and from what I saw, it was fine. She’s living in a three-bedroom apartment with two other women and there’s somebody with them 24/7. She’s got her own closet and bathroom. She’s been there for two weeks. We’re very pleased with The Courtyard. "

"Garden Plaza at Cleveland is excellent in just about every possible way. The staff members are absolutely wonderful, helpful, and nice. It's a beautiful place, all the way from patio homes to assisted living, in their central building. For apartments, they have studio apartments and 2-bedrooms, some with and without balconies. They also have two different kinds of patio homes, traditional, and open floor plans, and both of them are quite nice duplexes. They do all the cleaning and I talked to a number of people there and they're all happy about it. They have transportation and they'll take you anywhere you want to go and they have various activities. We were invited to make one of those elegant desserts and also to an ice cream social."

"We visited Legacy Village of Cleveland, which was a very premier facility. We wanted it, but it was out of our budget. I liked the architecture, the layout of the rooms, and the food. The food was excellent. We ate lunch there. The food was very pleasing to the eye and looked like a good variety. The facility was spacious. It is near restaurants, near the interstate, easy to get to, and it is near my home."

"The Neighborhood at Tellico Village is very nice and the people seem very nice. It's very clean and affordable. The rooms are spacious, and my mom likes the food very much. "
