Assisted Living Communities in Kingsport, TN

"I have decided to put my mom in here. It is a very friendly place and is nice. I think my mother would feel right at home there. They had a little jazz band playing there when I visited. It is just a nice and friendly place. It is close to my house, it is in Tennessee, and it just seems like the place to put her. I think it is very nice and clean. It is one floor, so it is easy for her to maneuver around. The people are very friendly. The apartment is very clean. It is a fine place to put her, a place that she would feel at home. They also have a very friendly staff. Everyone I spoke to there was very personable, very friendly, have a good sense of humor, and are very good natured. I only saw them for a short time, but I did not get any hostile vibrations from any of them. What really impressed me with that place is that everybody seemed to know everybody. They all said hello to everybody, they greeted everybody very cordially. It was nice, it was like a big family. I enjoyed the music, the band that was playing there was nice; my mother I am sure would enjoy it."

"I was impressed by the fact that Abundant Christian Living has four levels of care, which is nice. They have independent living, assisted living, and a nursing home kind of thing. It's an older facility. The staff members were nice and accommodating. They were good. The room sizes run the gamut depending on what level you're at. The independent living was the nicest looking, and they had more room. I saw a gym. It's a pretty limited gym. They had a few pieces of equipment, but not much, and I don't know how much it is used."

"Brookdale Johnson City is a very nice small community. When you walk in, it has a large dining area, a large sitting area, and a piano. There are hallways where the assisted living folks have their rooms. My mother is going to the memory care side where there is a small locked, carpeted entrance down the hallway. It's nicely painted and there is décor on the walls. Her room is quite sizable -- and for the price -- it's very good. The head nurse is right on the floor inside with the memory care residents. The staff has been super. They also cook their own food there, they take them on trips, and they do activities. All in all, I'm very happy with where we're going."

"We had visited several ASL facilities in the area and had found Oakmont at Gordon Park to be one of the most inviting atmospheres . The outdoor areas are very appealing with beautifully landscaped spaces to walk or visit with friends. Both the ASL and Memory Care Wings have similar spaces, sizing a bit smaller in the Memory Care. Most of the families we had visited had nothing like this to offer. Outside spaces are important . We also liked the size of the facility and the staff who seem very caring. So far we have been very pleased with the facility, most importantly mom seems to be happy here and beginning to feel like it's her home. "

"Brookdale was very nice, and I like the way it was set up. Every day, they have several entrees to choose from for dining and have alternatives and alternative menus to be ordered from individually. What I didn’t like about them was it had more independent living, like a three-story apartment building, and my parents would not do well in an elevator, so they would definitely need the first floor. They were more open and willing to convert the bath tub into a shower. "

"Preston Place is a phenomenal assisted living facility where all employees treat the residents like their own family. I am proud that my grandfather lives there and recommend Preston Place to anyone who wants to live worry free because their loved one is in excellent hands! You receive premium service through integrity and respect. I can't say enough about their good work!!! "

"We have our mother at Asbury. The staff is excellent. Mom is in an apartment. It is very clean and spacious. The food is excellent. The dining area is very clean, spacious, very well laid out, and very nice. I like everything in this facility, from the staff to the cleanliness to where it is located. It is easy to get to, and there's no hassle. "

"What I like about Crown Cypress is that it wasn't huge in size, and it is close to where I live and to where things are that I would be going to. The dining area was OK. Food was OK. With regards to sanitation, Crown Cypress appeared to be clean. The staff was very nice. "

"I toured The Blake at Kingsport. It was a very good tour. The staff was very good and gave us a very thorough tour, and introduced us to some of the other staff. One thing I was impressed with was all their amenities. They got fitness rooms and a hair and nail salon. They have a lot of activities. They do the laundry for you. It seems like they were more thorough in what they offered. The room size I was looking at was nice. They have a very nice dining room."

"This facility provides everything we were looking for in an affordable place for our mother to live. The staff is extremely caring. There are a variety of activities available for the residents. The food is wonderful and the whole building is very clean. Important things for my mother is that they do not "boss" her. She is led to make choices for herself and everyone treats her kindly. She appreciates that the daily duties of cleaning and cooking are done for her. Ware very happy with the cre and respect she is given at Yesterday's Place at the Village. "

"My brother was in Life Care Center of Gray. The rooms were very nice and clean. The atmosphere was very nice. The staff was very nice. I would recommend it because they are really nice. It is a clean facility. The staff that work there are caring people. The food wasn't all that great. "

"My grandmother is now in Princeton Transitional Care and Assisted Living, it's nice. It's newer, they offer 24-hour nursing care, and they do the meals. I liked it because it was all one price, while in a lot of places, it's like a la carte so there are a lot of different fees for different things that they do. And here, everything is already included like help with dressing, showers, and all of that stuff is all included in one price. It's not like where they'll suddenly start adding additional costs as they need additional care, so I like that option. They have different room options. She's in a studio apartment, so it's one big room and she has a nice-size bathroom that's handicap accessible, with a walk-in shower, and a nice built-in seat. And then it has a little kitchenette with almost a full-size refrigerator, they provide the refrigerator and a microwave. There's a lot of cabinet space and a little sink, it's a nice little kitchenette. All of them have windows looking either outside or into the courtyard. They also offer two rooms and stuff like that, but she's just in a studio. The staff has been very attentive and very helpful. When I call and check on her, I'll call the nurse's station, and I've always been able to get through to somebody every time I've called. The food smells and looks good but I haven't tried any of it. On Wednesday nights, they do wine and music, then they have a church service every Sunday, and they had a whole calendar of activities. They do things like cards and a lot of different stuff."
