Assisted Living Communities in East Ridge, TN

"My aunt lived at summit view and I was very pleased with the caring staff. My aunt loved living there and was much more active then when at home "

"The staff and facilities are great! A variety of activities are included for all those willing to participate. Food is well prepared and healthy. The recent change of ownership will hopefully continue our excellent experience to this point."

"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."

"I was at Signal Mountain Senior Living yesterday to see my sister. The meals are fantastic. They provide three meals a day. The staff members all seem to be very kind to my sister. The food is delicious. Once in a while, there will be a little something that my sister doesn't care for, but they always have options. She can get a chicken salad or something like that. The cleanliness is great. They are under construction, though. They're doing a lot of remodeling, and that's the only downfall to the place right now. Nevertheless, the activities are great. My sister has done bingo and chair exercises. They offer a lot of different things, and they go on outings. It's great. When I stepped into the community, I felt the friendliness of the place. And the rooms are great, too."

"I visited StoryPoint Chattanooga. I really liked the lady who took me around, and she seemed very caring. It's very close to my neighborhood. I liked the fact that they have things scheduled all day long, clubs and games, and they said they made a real effort to get their constituents to actually participate. I liked the fact that meals were included. It's a very pretty, nice, and clean facility. Everybody I talked to on the staff was very friendly. I actually walked in while they were meeting with the chef, and she was very nice. It looked really pretty on the outside. It has a beautiful courtyard. They said you could even get a room that opened up to the courtyard. You can go out and sit and enjoy visiting with people in the courtyard if you want to."

"My grandmother stayed at Pleasant Valley. She loved everything about the home, especially the outdoor area and the caring staff. It felt like home to her. I would highly recommend this home. "

"My mother will be moving into Dalton Square. It has a very welcoming, warm atmosphere, starting with the staff, including the director. That sold me above everything else. Their rates are very competitive. I appreciate the rate. It's totally clean and very spacious. The entire staff was very friendly. It's almost like a palace. It just has a very nice feel. It's really large. I like the space. It also smells nice. I was doing a lot of visiting of other facilities, and some of them didn't smell too good. I haven't sampled their food, but my mother did, and my son did. We were there on Cinco de Mayo, May 5th, and they were having a big party."

"It's very nice and clean. I was disappointed with Mom's companion because the other lady has Alzheimer's, and we are having some issues with that, but for the most part, it's been OK. My mom-in-law is not crazy about the food. They have activities like bingo, and they take the bus to go on field trips and dinners. "

"I found a spot for my mom. She is at Brookdale Cleveland Park. They go above and beyond. My mom has her own apartment. It is two rooms: one living room and one bedroom. We had a TV brought in with cable, but she is never in the room long enough to watch it. They have so many activities. She has gone on a hay ride and seen a fashion show. My mom has an incontinence problem now, so she wears diapers, but they have kept up so well with her cleanliness. The facility is laid out in a triangle shape and have a courtyard inside the facility; even though it is a locked ward, my mom can actually go outside and still be within the confines of the facility. They give each resident a button to put around their necks. If they have a problem, they hit the button, and their location comes up on the screen. Staff will see who the patient that hit the button is and where they're located. Their dining setup is fabulous and so is the food. They eat at the same time every day. We just had a "Fall Family Festival" where my wife and I got to go in and eat a meal with my mom in the dining room. My mom raves about the food because she gets to eat so well there. My mom was just talking last night about one of the ladies there; her toenails were getting long, so one of the CNAs came in and clipped her toes for her. They're very good with attention to detail. "

"I liked East Ridge Retirement Center because of their amenities. To me, the place is very nice. The people are nice and the lady who showed me around was very nice. "

"The staff has a very personal, caring approach to the residents. Personal concerns and needs were met with prompt compassionate attention. The facilkty is beautifully kept and decorated like a very nice hotel. The gym and therapy staff are top notch! I had a very positive experience."

"My mom is staying at the Senior Saints Home. I loved everything about it. The only reason we started looking was that they had been up on the price, and that's just a burden on the family because it's more than her check. It's a beautiful home. It's just like everybody's family. They have shared rooms. It looks like a bedroom. It's got two beds, and it's very nicely done. And then they have a single room. They also have a room with two double beds for a couple or something. I would recommend them. It's very nice. It's the greatest home setting you'll ever find. The staff are very caring and loving. I actually have no complaints whatsoever. The food looks like a good nutritional meal. My mom builds puzzles on the coffee table. She's got her traveling books and stuff. They can do what they want to do, but as far as coming together as a group and playing bingo or exercising, they don't really offer that."

"For the second time in nine months I was a short-term resident while my spouse was undergoing eye surgery and recovery and restricted in her activity. Having spent six weeks at Rosewood last spring, when the need for short-term assisted living, there was no question that I would return for the second time which only required three weeks. My experience again was excellent. Staff personnel are caring people who go above and beyond to assist in every possible way; Caregivers and dining room servers are cheerful, and quick to see that the resident's needs and desires are quickly and uncomplainably met. Rooms are spotlessly clean and odor free; Food is more than adequate, tasty and nutritious as well as menu choices are available. Cost is reasonable when compared to room prices at better than average hotels, considering that the resident care services provided are without extra cost and the facility is above average quality. Transportation service is provided on a pre-arranged reservation basis. There is no question in my mind: Should I need assisted living care at any time in the future, I shall re-return to Rosewood, my home away from homed."

"When my relative first moved into Parkwood Retirement, the lady went on vacation and took the keys to her room, but other than that, it's good so far. We like that it's a small and quaint place, and that there's not a whole lot of people there. They keep the grounds and grass really nice. The residents are offered the opportunity to have a little area where they can plant flowers and stuff like that. They have activities like music, cards, Bingo, they take them shopping, or wherever they want to go, they also have a beauty shop, and they clean the rooms. If I eat there, I have to pay $3 or $4. The staff seems very nice and they hang up all her pictures, the cleaning lady really helps out, and the residents are also nice. They keep the inside and outside of the place nice and clean. It could use some upgrading, but for an old person, maybe it's just fine. There's also not a lot of parking spaces and it could get very crowded sometimes. The value for the money is good because I went to another place and it was was more expensive, but wasn't as nice as Parkwood."
