Assisted Living Communities in Hixson, TN

"We visited American House Hamilton Place. We could not afford it, but the people were nice. Gerald, the manager, was super nice, talked us through the whole process, toured the place, and gave us a lot of information. The place was nice and clean. Everything was positive about it. The only thing was the price. The size of the room was OK. I don't expect it to be big. The people were dining and seemed happy, and were eating in groups. They had a pretty good-sized patio area."

"I toured Ridge Manor Rossville. It looked very nice. They had done a lot of updating and remodeling, and the inside looked nice, too. The neighborhood leaves a lot to be desired, but the entrance itself looked fine. It's just that somewhere in the neighborhood, there's a trailer park next door that's a little bit rundown. The facility looked fine, very clean, and updated. The staff was very nice. I met with a young man and a lady there, too. They showed us some rooms and they talked about different options. They gave us different financial options."

"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."

"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 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."

"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."

"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 Dominion Senior Living of Hixson. The facility was beautiful and immaculate, and the lady said that my father's income isn't enough to cover the expenses and they don't take government care. They do have, however, a dementia ward in the back, and the rates were too high for us. So, she took us to the back room, chatted with my sister and me, went down the list of his level of dementia, and told us that he needed to be in a dementia ward and that nursing home state government help. She was very nice and very understanding and tried to help us as much as she could but couldn't offer her facility because I think it was $6,000 a month. We couldn't afford that. It was an excellent facility, and if we had the money then that would have been one of my first choices. It was halfway between my siblings and me, and we would love that. If we can afford it, I would send my father there. It was excellent. The staff were kind, considerate, and understanding. The facility was fine, and centrally located for the dining hall and meeting area. When you walk in, you see the people in the dining hall. One thing was important to me, there was a desk inside the door. So, people were watching as you came in the door, and you could go right there and get help. I felt like that was an excellent quality of the facility. Not only do you watch people when they're coming in, but you watch people when they're leaving. Whether it's good, bad, or different, you know who's coming and going. It was top-notch, beautiful, and clean; probably the nicest facility I have visited."

"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. "

"Mom is 92, she fell and injured her shoulder. She needs physical therapy…Who can we trust with her? She is precious and deserves the best! Who? Where? Trust me, we did some praying. We were led to Life Care Center of Hixson. Wonderful, compassionate, dedicated professionals…around the clock. Mom, my sisters and I are treated like royalty. I would say family but they far exceeded that. After 70 + days Mom is back on her walker…How about that?! Praise God! She is coming home in a few days! Don’t hesitate to use this facility. Your loved one will be in capable hands. "

"Morning Pointe of Hixson is a nice place. It's a new building. The staff who gave the tour was very nice. The rooms were very nice and clean. The dining area was very nice, too. I don't know anything about the food except it was cooked from scratch. As for activities, they have a walking activity, they have physical therapy, and they have an exercise class."

"After hearing sometimes negative reviews of assisted living and elderly care facilities, I was quite surprised after visiting a very good friend of mines grandmother at Alexian. The facility is very nice and clean, staff goes out of their way to do what they can for its residence, as well as visitors. Their are all kinds of daily activities that the residence can participate in and they have much more freedom to move about as they please and have some what independence. I definitely recommend this facility for anyone who wants their loved one taken care of. "

"I've had many relatives at Red Bank Life Care. My mother, brother. cousin, nephew and friends. I could not have ask for better treatment from the nurses, cna's all the way down to the kitchen and staff. Everyone was always Johnny on the spot to help. I would definitely recommend this facility to anyone."
