Assisted Living Communities in Cookeville, TN

"My mother moved into Morningside of Cookeville 2 months ago, and it's been very good. Everybody has been nice, and she has been well taken care of. Her room is really nice, they keep it really clean, the atmosphere is friendly and nice, and the staff is very nice and capable. The meals are good, and the food is good, especially the breakfast. The meals are well-balanced, they're cooked well, and there's a variety. They've had cookouts, they play bingo, but she's not able to do a lot, she sits out on the porch, talk to people, and the family can come and eat with her."

"We've placed a deposit at Cedar Hill and we'll be moving my cousin in within the next 30 days. It's a smaller community. It is very nice and very personable. They have nice grounds, and they have a common room that has a pool table and a large screen TV. They have a beauty parlor on-site. They do a lot of get-togethers with the residents and they do a lot of field trips where they take them out to do things in the community. They're very helpful. The dining area is very nice. There is a little kitchenette in the room where she will be, but they encourage them to eat all of their meals in the dining area."

"I worked with Home Instead senior care which is giving personal care and compaction to seniors in there home. One time I was assigned to go to this facility and help a senior that lived there. The workers at the facility were so nice and showed me around introduced me to other staff members and made me feel welcomed. They felt like a family there everyone was really nice and would help any time you needed it. I usually went to a senior's home for my work so I was scared about an assisted living facility because I didn't know how much work they already did with my senior and if I was stepping on anyone's toes. I didn't they mainly were just there for food and medication they didn't take care of the senior like I did with bathing and so on. So I quickly learned that they were there to make the living experience there exciting with activities and such and also making sure the residents were fed. It was a great experience and when my husband's parents need to go to an assist living facility I know were I am going to recommend. Plus if any other senior needs some extra help with personal care I will be visiting. "

"My aunt and uncle are presently in the wonderful Life Care Center of Sparta, TN. It has assisted living, memory care, nursing home, and skilled nursing, plus occupational therapy and physical therapy under the same roof. It is wonderful, absolutely top notch and fabulous. It has the kindest people, best care, and cleanest facility. The price there is less than the community where we were before. My aunt is in the assisted living, and my uncle is soon to be in the memory care, but right now, he is in the skilled nursing center. In the assisted living, they have all kinds of things going on every day. They have all kinds of activities that they can do. They take them out twice a week to restaurants and stores in the community, and have people coming in to entertain. They have church, bingo, and all kinds of different things. The food is like a fine dining restaurant. I never thought any place for seniors would have food that nice and elegant. I’m talking high-class and yummy. "

"My mom moved into The Waters of Gainesboro. It's very clean. It's very welcoming. They have a courtyard with swings where you can sit and talk. We can take Mom out there, and we can talk to her. They have an incredible activities department. Last week, they had senior prom, a cookout, and Hawaii Day. They're constantly doing stuff all the time to keep the patients active. They've been super good. The nurses have been super caring. They decorate inside and outside. It's just beautiful. They take pride in their facility. The food, from what I've seen, looks good."

"It is called Upland Village at Pleasant Hill. We were connected to a mutual friend who was here. It was a boarding school for local kids for a number of years that eventually morphed into a continuing care community. It has three levels. There are independent houses that are scattered in the village. We are roughly half of the population of the small village. Most of our members lived in the independent houses. We do have an assisted living facility and nursing home facility. My wife and I are in the independent houses. We have so many activities that I'm frustrated that we never have time for ourselves. The reason my wife is not here is because she's off to an activity playing her drums with another resident who is playing the piano for the assisted living dinner time entertainment. There is an exercise program called Flex and Stretch. There is a musical ensemble where members play in a group. There is a play reading group, a bridge group, and a program called Shalom that brings outside speakers. The staff is one of the things to recommend about this place. The staff is devoted, excellent, very warm, and caring. The memberships are very warm and caring as well. The independent houses are divided into neighborhoods with typically six to eight houses in each. Everybody takes care of each other, so if somebody is ill or has a problem, everybody helps out. "
