"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."

"I toured both assisted living and memory care at Rain Forest Landings. The community areas in the assisted living part were attractive and nice. We enjoyed the dining room and the fireplace they had going, and the food was pretty good. The lady who gave us the tour was very nice and informative. We like the rooms, especially the community areas, the lobby, and different places to either relax with other people or engage in activities, but also just to walk around and have a seat and relax. We mostly looked at empty rooms. They seemed nice enough. They had a respite room that we could look at that was furnished and it looked like it would be one of our choices to try, a respite stay first before we committed to moving in permanently. The food was pretty good. I enjoyed it and I think my wife did, too. It was enjoyable. It didn't taste off or unpleasant in any way. It was better than average. The memory care was segregated largely from the assisted living. It was much more limited in the amenities and the overall ambiance. It's very attractive in the assisted living part. Te memory care part, was a little more utilitarian. I understand there are fewer people there apparently, so they have more limited amenities and spaces. You don't have a huge, cheerful dining room with a roaring fireplace. Those kinds of things are lacking, which I understand."

"Fun place for all to enjoy, the activities staff are always busy with residents. They have exercise every morning and plan around what the residents like."

"American House West Knoxville was clean. We like the place. The lady was great. She was very nice. She had a lot of experience, especially with memory care patients. We were impressed with her. She did a good job. They showed us a menu and everything about what they had. Everything was clean. I thought the memory care place was just a little bit dark. The apartments were laid out fine, but they were a little bit smaller."

"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."

"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"

"My brother moved into Deane Hill Place's assisted living. They've been making upgrades and updates, and all of them were nice. My brother wanted to be within walking distance of other places, that's kind of important to him, and this place has a shopping center and a grocery store nearby that he can walk to. The only staff member I've met is the lady we talked to, who was very nice and friendly. I haven't experienced any of the activities, but they have scheduled ones and there's a calendar that you can look at to see what's coming up. It looked full of fun stuff to do, so that's good. The dining area was small but nice. They have five little buildings, and each one has a separate dining hall, so they were fairly small. I'm guessing 8 or 10 tables at the most, where four people can sit at a table."

"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."

"My mother is here. Everything is very nice. They're very helpful and friendly people. It's very clean. They have a lot of social activities. She enjoys it there; she just can't afford it anymore. She has a small one-bedroom. It has a private bath, a sink, and a microwave. It's very comfortable. They take them to places. They have different activities. I couldn't list all of them because I haven't been there that often, but I know it's a very active community."

"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."

"The accommodations are lovely. Roomy... bright.. easily accessible . There are several seating areas and outdoor porches . My Dad loved it here. The staff are all kind and caring. Friendly.. always available and quick to respond. Highly recommend ."
