Assisted Living Communities in Knoxville, TN

"The memory unit had very huge heavy bars around the patio, and it looked out on a busy street. We were just not impressed with that part of it. Otherwise, it seemed to be very nice, and the people seemed to be very nice. The rooms were average sized. It had a very nice garden. The thing that put us off was the bars rather than some nice fencing in the memory unit. It looked like the outside of a lion's cage at the zoo. But physically, it was great. Everything looked good. It was a very nice clean place, and it was well taken care of. People coming and going seemed to be bright, and there were a lot of people who were very mobile. In the conversations we had with them, they didn't seem to have as many organized activities as the other places did. "

"My mom is in independent living at South Knoxville Senior Living. I'm very pleased with it. She is settling in well. The only improvement I could see would be in the dietary part because, with my mom's diabetes, they are kind of heavy on carbohydrates, but that's my only concern. The staff members are friendly, engaged, and responsive to my mom. It's newly remodeled and kept clean. Regarding activities, my mom has reported that she enjoyed them."

"Northshore Senior Living was very nice and brand new, but very expensive. I toured their memory care unit and that looked like an appropriate setting. The grounds were nice. The location was not as good for me, but somebody else might like it."

"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."

"Autumn Care Assisted Living was great and reasonably priced. The staff was very nice and accommodating."

"The staff at The Pointe at Lifespring was so nice and accommodating to me. It's a new place and it looks so nice. They set the move-in date and I had furniture delivered over there already. They worked with me in such a gracious way, so I am really impressed. The room is really like an apartment with a refrigerator, a place for a microwave, a little table, bedroom, and bathroom."

"Wellington Manor of Knoxville was clean. The only thing that I noticed is that they might have been short of help, but I think many places run into that. The living spaces were great, and the rooms were set up good. They can bring their own furniture. The kitchen looked clean. The staff members were very helpful and very courteous, but it appeared that they were very busy, and sometimes, residents had to wait."

"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 here. 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."

"Alexander Guest House was absolutely beautiful, very nice, and great. The staff was very nice and helpful. Their rooms and dining room were beautiful and brand new. Everything’s new there. The atmosphere was wonderful. "

"I liked Brookdale Browns Creek. I liked that they had a parakeet for the residents to look at. The facilities were good and newly remodeled. The administrator was nice and helpful. They just cost a little bit more. The price is not all inclusive. The facility itself was an excellent size. They have bingo and music, but I didn't feel like there was enough memory support for my mom. It would be fine for a typical elderly person with slight dementia. It was more assisted living, but they do take people with memory issues. It would've been fine, but the money was a little bit tight. The staff was good."

"My tour at Meadow View Senior Living went pretty well. Their apartments were sufficient, and the staff members were good. Because of COVID, we couldn't visit their dining area. We've seen the outdoors, but hardly seen anything else except for the apartments. The entrance to the outside was just from a walkway. They also had an entrance from the inside, which we couldn't go to. We've seen their 1-bedroom that someone had just moved out of and removed their belongings, but the furniture was still there, and it was good. There was no problem with the facility. The staff was really helpful."

"Sterling House is amazing. I can't say enough about the staff. They are so wonderful and caring. My Mom loves it there! I highly recommend it! "
