The Best Assisted Living Communities in Hamilton County, TN

"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."

"I toured Ridge Manor Rossville's assisted living. The lady and the people who worked there were super nice. The people who were living there seemed really happy. They had very nice rooms. My husband would have to share a room, so I don't know if he would be for that or not. The facility was very clean and spacious."

"We like everything about The Canopy at Boynton Ridge's memory care from the facility to the way it was set up. My mom would have her own miniature apartment. My mother is an outside person and the way it was built around a gated recreation facility is nice. She could go outside and have plenty of room to just do things, or sit and walk if she wanted. She would be safe. No worries about her wandering off or forgetting where she was and not being able to get back. They had all kinds of things that she could sign up for with different amenities like the one for hair services. They were a very nice facility. The facility was very clean and very nice. We were just very impressed with it. You can tell from the smell that it is clean. The food menu sounded great, too. They also told us how the residents would sit at the table and the staff would come around and wait on them like they were in a restaurant. It was neat. The staff who showed us around addressed all of our questions and was very sweet."

"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."

"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."

"Dalton Square was my favorite. I toured their assisted living, and it was nice and clean, and had beautiful grounds. The people were also just super nice, and they just seemed really homey and nice. They also seem to go out of their way to help me. Their price was just a little high. It's also 45 minutes from my home, and that would have been a major factor for us. I think they have outdoor spaces and maybe a little courtyard inside the complex. It was like a square and then opened in the middle."

"NHC Health Care is a small, family like environment. The food is very good. They have Bible study, movies, and trips, and that is about it. We picked this one because of the location. It is close to family members. So far, it has been very good. I have nothing negative to say about them. They have a wonderful staff that is willing to help you in any way they can. "

"We have already moved into Hickory Valley. We like it right away. They had the availability that we needed. There were a lot of things that hit the checkboxes for us, and we were allowed to have our little dog. We couldn't have carpeting in our room because of respiratory issues, so they changed the flooring specifically. They did not require a deposit upfront. They have someone to work with us and help us all along the way. Their staff is just wonderful. As for the food, you wouldn't want any better. Our apartment is very spacious. We have our own private space, but they have a lot of social spaces, activities, and events. They have independent living and assisted living. In our case, two of us needed assisted living and one of us was able to live independently. I can still care for the needs of the assisted, but we can live in an independent unit. All day, every day, things are going on. There is typical entertainment that takes place, and then they have all types of activities. I love to work on puzzles, so they have different areas where people work on puzzles together and socialize. Then they have regular games like card games, pool tables, and bingo. Then there's a big movie room and a big screen for movie watching as a group at night if you want to go and socialize watching the movie. They have different denominations that do church service on Sundays. And for those who choose to go to, they have Bible study programs available. They have their own bus that takes people out to do their shopping if they choose to because everybody has their own kitchenette. If you don't have transportation of your own, they provide transportation to and from the doctors and to and from big events. Even though we have an independent unit, they have maid service that goes along with it. Someone comes in and strips the beds, launders your bed for you, remakes your bed, and cleans your apartment once a week, so you don't have to do that. They have a garbage service. Just about everything you could imagine is provided for. The money is worth it. It's still coming in under what we were paying for a typical apartment living. There's a garden where tenants grow their own flowers and vegetables. The kitchen staff are choosing vegetables from the garden space to cook with the meals. They have a beautiful, covered space outside for shaded seating, a sunny patio on another side, and a huge front porch area. The entrance of the building is set up like a huge porch, so people gather and sit out there together."

"Martin Boyd staff is dedicated, consistent, and truly have a passion for what they do, My mom was a resident for 3+ years, (2014-2017). My mom lived on every level. Thanks to Stacey B. and Steve E., my mom was able to live at Martin Boyd til the end of her life. The rooms are spacious, and the closets provide adequate space too. Laundry is prepared individually and ironed weekly. Resident Rooms and other facility rooms are cleaned daily. Trash is emptied multiple times a day! The Food is good. We enjoyed it! I highly recommend Martin Boyd because of the consistency, dedication and compassion toward the residents and the community! "

"My parents moved to Rockbridge Oaks. They serve a certain menu every day, but if you don't like it, you can choose from other things, and everything I've tasted there has been excellent. The rooms are nice. They were freshly painted and have a nice kitchenette area with a medium-sized refrigerator. The air conditioning units are high, like above the windows, so they're not blocking the walls. It's got a nice big bathroom with a shower. Everything is nice about the room. The staff had been great. Everyone's been very pleasant. They have in-house activities like bingo, trivia, name that song, art things, and trips to a restaurant, a grocery store, or different places. My parents have not participated in any of that yet because they are just getting adjusted. The value for the money is pretty average from the various facilities I visited. It's maybe a little cheaper than some."

"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."

"I chose Memory Lane at Forest Plaza as it is a small residential home, and my father does better in smaller settings. The staff is very compassionate and caring, and they worked very well with whatever the resident wants to do so if anybody wants to go for a walk, they go for a walk with them. The rooms are well-maintained and are adequate size for twin beds. The food is excellent, and my father loves it; he has put on 8lbs since he has been there. The dining area is setup as a regular dining room table, and they all sit around the same table. They do and they have done outings, they have family picnics, pumpkin carving with the families, and they go to the park to walk; he keeps pretty active. What really stood out to me was it has a home feeling instead of an institutional feeling. "

"I moved into East Ridge Residence. So far, I've had a good experience with them. The basic rent includes utilities and one meal a day, but you can pay another $150 a month and get two meals a day. The rent is lower than in other places that I checked out. You're allowed a pet up to 25 pounds. They have activities, like bingo. It's a nice place and I like it. The food is excellent. It's like a sit-down restaurant. You sit down there, they come out, and they take your order. They have options that you can choose, like a sandwich or any one of the meals."

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