Assisted Living Communities in Collegedale, TN

"My friend moved into Charter Senior Living of Cleveland 2 months ago. The staff is very attentive and caring. I know that they have at least weekly bus rides around various places. They've got daily exercise classes in the mornings. And he's been very pleased with the meals, as well. His room is more than adequate for him. It has a nice-sized bathroom with a handicapped shower in it. He has a double bed, a TV console with a TV, and a dresser."

"Ridge Manor in Rossville is a wonderful assisted-living and I would highly recommend them. My family member moved here 3 weeks ago and the staff is absolutely wonderful. They have gone above and beyond our expectations to make sure we are completely satisfied with their service and the care they are providing for my loved one. I have met the owner a couple of times in person and spoke with him on the phone as well. He always tells me to let him know if we need anything. Next, the Director is always accommodating to our needs. She spends time with us just to say hi and asks how we are when we visit. She doesn’t normally work on the weekends, but she worked the weekend my family member moved into Ridge Manor to make sure the transition went smoothly. Also, the manager and all the staff are so friendly to us. This is a smaller facility therefore the care is very personalized, and has a feeling of being at “home”. I cannot say enough about how special they make us feel. I know my family member is getting exceptional care. When we walk through their doors, we are greeted with a smile every time, and my family visits 7 days a week!"

"I only wish there were more stars to give! My mom was only there for the last four months of her life, but the staff was incredible. She felt loved and safe there, and it gave us peace that she was in good hands when we couldn’t be there. The staff is not just being nice because “it’s their job”, but they truly care about the residents."

"My mom moved into Story Point Chattanooga. Some of the places we visited did not smell good, but this place was very open and refreshing, and everyone was friendly. They knew their residents, knew their names, and it had a good feel. Everyone there has been extremely helpful. Their care staff is very easy to communicate with. They seem to care about my mom and are very accommodating. The meal is one of the things that they are accommodating. It's not exactly a special diet, but it requires special preparation. She also has her food brought to her because she's not able to go to the dining area at this time. So, they've been very helpful with that, too. They have games, bingo, church, singing, happy hour, and cookouts. They have lots of activities. They have a bus that can take them out shopping or to doctor appointments, but she has chosen not to participate or has not been able to. They are expensive, but compared to what other people are saying, it's very much in line."

"I like everything about Signal Mountain Senior Living. The only thing I don't like is the rent was way too high. The place was clean, neat, and taken care of."

"We went to Pleasant Valley Personal Care. It seemed fine. It was quiet and peaceful. They were close to the forest. You can go out and sit and they had swings and different things around the place. They had a nice porch to sit on and rocking chairs. The one lady that was showing us around was very nice and helpful. A couple of others that came through were friendly and polite. It seemed like it could be a nice place to be. The dining area wasn't quite as large, but it was nice and homey. It's like going into your own dining room where kitchen and everything was all right there."

"I toured Thrive at Brow Wood. The staff was helpful. She took us on a tour and told us the different things that they do. They have a Wii and my brother used to bowl. They had a Wii with a bowling app so that he could sit in his wheelchair and act like he was bowling. The facilities were great. The layout was good. They had a lady there who helped them paint and showed them how to paint pictures. The activities director was nice. While we were there, we got to watch him. They were dancing. They were doing karaoke. That was delightful."

"My mother was at Dalton Square for three months. We were well satisfied with them. My mother didn't want to mingle a whole lot, but they had activities all the time for those people. The food was excellent. The staff was excellent, too. My mother was very happy there and we were happy with them. My mom had an apartment with a bedroom, a nice walk-in bathroom and shower, a little kitchenette, and a little living room area. So that was very, very nice. They also had activities going on all the time."

"I went to look at Oaks at Dalton. It was a really nice place. When I get really old, I'd like to go there. I liked that they had 24-hour on-call staff. The rooms were nice. I saw a one-bedroom apartment, and you have your own TV in your room. It was just a very nice and relaxed atmosphere. The staff seemed like they really take pride in their job and they care for people. That's what struck me the most about them. The dining area was really nice. The groundwork was nice. It was like a big upscale apartment complex from the outside when I first pulled up. They also had a handicapped parking area, that's very convenient."

"I liked Life Care Center. They had a very good and responsible staff and had everything necessary for senior citizens to adapt to a life away from home. They had an ice cream shop, barber shop, and all sorts of facilities for physical therapy and doctors. It’s not too big or too small and is a very well-organized system for move her up in. The environment is very calm and most of all, the physical therapist was very good with the patients. "

"Morning Pointe of Collegedale at Greenbriar Cove was very nice and clean. It was fairly new. The staff was very thorough and very nice. They gave me a map of the whole complex and I saw how many one-bedrooms and studios they have. We were going to want a one-bedroom, but there were only seven of them in the whole complex. So I'd have to wait for a while to get one of those."

"The people at The Bridge at Ooltewah were very friendly. The staff who gave us the tour was very, very good. The facility was very clean. The room that we saw had a microwave and a sink in the kitchenette. Their head cook was like a maitre d'. When the residents went to eat, it was like they were going to a restaurant. I don't know if you have to dress up or if you could just go as you were. Some of the residents were dressed up. We didn't know if that was their normal attire or not. There was one gentleman in a suit. One lady had on a dress, heels, necklaces, and all kinds of jewelry. It was more like a hotel or a resort. They had an indoor courtyard that had a water feature going over some rocks. They had a lot of flowers. They had a lot of trees and greenery outside."

"The staff was extremely personable and helpful in assisting my great aunt after she had a stroke. She had to be bathed, fed, and dressed every day. The meals that were served to her were above average in my opinion. The facility was well maintained and the linens were clean. The grounds were kept in a highly maintained way. It was much more inviting than some of the assisted living facilities I have encountered when visiting my elderly family members. I would recommend this facility to anyone who needs assistance in caring for their family members who can no longer take care of themselves. "

"I thought Standifer Place is great. The staff is great, the whole idea is great, and I was impressed with everything. "
