Assisted Living Communities in Knoxville, TN

"My mom moved into South High Senior Living. I can't think of anything that I don't like. It's been nice. It's a nice place. My mom's apartment is spacious. She has a large bathroom. It's up-to-date and clean. The food is fine. They had a dining room, a kitchen, and a great room that's got a huge-screen TV. It's decorated pretty. From the dining room, it goes outside to a patio that's got tables and umbrellas. And then they've got little things that they can grow. I love their staff. Their staff is nice. They've got some good people working there. The facility is pretty new. My mom's room was expensive, but it was a room for herself. And then she moved into a shared room. She and her roommate get along well together."

"We looked at South Knoxville Senior Living. It's a nice place. If my mom comes down to Tennessee, that's probably where we're going to go. It's in our price range if we can get the veteran's assistance. It's pretty close to our house; it's only 40 miles from our house. They would provide two meals a day. Somebody is there 24 hours a day in case they need help. They have pull cords in the bathroom in case you fall in the bathroom. And they give you like a LifeAlert thing. The staff was very nice, too. There are five different houses and there are 11 people in each house. Everything is on the first floor; there are no steps. They have walk-in showers with a seat. Nice set-up. They have a salon. Each building has a little library area, a dining area, and a washer and dryer. They said they have bingo once a week. They have an area where they can play cards and have games. Once every two weeks, they take them out down the street there."

"My tour experience with Northshore Heights Located in Knoxville was very good. We went to several places and saw a lot of facilities, and this is the best fit for my mother-in-law. The staff was really, really friendly and very knowledgeable. We saw a large studio, I thought the rooms were very roomy, they weren't tiny and has decent space. We didn't try their food, but the dining room looked good, the food looked good, and the menus looked good. They have a 24-hour schedule of events, especially for people that don't sleep well. So even in the middle of the night, they have movies going, they have something happening with people with Alzheimer's, so we like that. We were very impressed with everything we saw. There were people at different levels and people were doing different things, so we like that."

"We have chosen Trinity Hills of Knoxville for my mother, and she's moving in on Tuesday. It's very clean, and it feels very homey. The room is very nice, it has laminate wood floors which kind of give us a homey feel. Very roomy, the bathroom very large, and has a nice walk-in shower with all the bars and everything for safety. It has a very large kitchen nook, with a microwave, small refrigerator, small size kitchen sink, and cabinets space, so lots of room and storage. The staff is so, so nice, everyone is very sweet, everyone always greets you, even if they don't know who we are, they're just all very inviting. We have not sampled the food, but I do know that they have a chef on-site and it's restaurant style. So they get to order off of the menu what they want to eat. There is some variety, then they have certain things that they always have, like soup and baked potatoes. They always have that. And then every day there are certain entrees they can choose from. It's a very nice dining area, even the lighting in there is pretty like they have chandeliers and things like that. So it makes it feel like home. They always have bingo. They have a grand piano in the great room and it's off of the dining room. And they have someone that comes and plays music while they eat. They have a fireplace that they can gather around. They have movie days, they have special speakers that come in, and they have a chapel there so they can have Sunday school and church. They can go on outings if they want, and they have a little shuttle that they can go on outings, and then just all kinds of activities constantly, whether it's crafts or things like that."

"I can't say enough good things about autumn care. The staff go above and beyond to take care of the residents. The food is absolutely fantastic, pretty much restaurant quality. Along with the top-notch food, the facility is beautiful and clean. We're very happy with our choice and Raeleen, the new director, is always available and seems to really know her stuff. If you're looking for a place that will make your loved ones feel safe and well cared for, I don't think you can do much better. "

"The Pointe is the best care living facility. Their loving and care they gave my mother gave me peace. Thank you all so much."

"It was clean and neat. The staff was engaging towards the residents. Everyone looked well dressed and happy. It was an older building, but it was nice. The lady that gave the tour was like an open book. She was very forthcoming. I saw the meals and they smelled wonderful. They looked appetizing and well-prepared."

"We went to tour The Groves at Oak Ridge. Of all the ones that I've been to, this is the one I'm really leaning towards. The tour was excellent. It was all on one level, which I like. It was laid out nicely, kind of in a circle. You can go out one way, go around, come in a shorter way, and it's just nice. It was very clean. The staff was very knowledgeable. She had everything laid out and all the information that we needed. She took us to visit the room, and she was very helpful. Their staff had been there for years, so that's a plus right there. I liked the studio room. I know it was small, but it was nice. It had a refrigerator and a microwave, plus it had windows. They had 3 courtyards. We didn't go out because it was too cold. We did go to the dining room, and it was nice. It had round tables. We also looked at the activities that they had set out. She explained that they were color-coded for the environmental stuff and social stuff."

"I toured Canterfield of Oak Ridge. It was very nice. The people were very nice. I thought it was a good place. My tour was not during one of their activities or anything, so several of the residents were just sitting around eating breakfast. However, they have some gardening areas where people can go out and do some gardening. I saw the living spaces in the memory care. They're a little bit different because there are no doors in the closet and things like that, but they were a good size, and the bathrooms were nice. They had nice walk-in showers with seats. It was a nice area. Everything was good and clean when I was there. Everything was nice and smelled nice."

"The facility was not informed of my visit by you. She made time for a tour for me anyway and was very helpful"

"I have moved into Brookdale Browns Creek. Their reputation is the deciding factor. From the upper management all the way down, everybody seems to work together as a team. The upkeep of the community is very good. My apartment's floorplan is good. The food is very good, too. They have a good-sized activity room, and the dining room is nice. The atmosphere is nice. With regard to activities, I went to a bingo game one day. However, they don't have quite as many activities as I was hoping. The staff has just been wonderful."

"Meadow View Senior Living is a beautiful facility. My mother loves it there, and I highly recommend it. The staff is wonderful. They're very good to her, and she loves all of them. She has a studio, but they also have deluxe studios and one-bedrooms. She goes to bingo, they have crafts, she had her hair done yesterday, they have a beauty shop, and they have a Christmas party. She's very happy there. They exercise in the activity area and they have a library. She likes the food pretty well."

"Brookdale Sandy Springs was the place where I would want to put my mother. It was very clean. It looked like they had a caring staff. They set the bar pretty high, so that's what I'm comparing all the other assisted living to. Everybody was top-notch. I didn't sample the food, but there were several dining areas, and they all looked clean. Nothing special, they're cafeteria style, which is common in places like that. I got there during a change in activities. They were going to play bingo, so a staff person told people about that. I saw the schedule and it looked like a fairly active schedule. They would also take people outdoors on special trips to movies, museums, or whatnot so people could get out. It was impressive."
