The Best Assisted Living Communities in Mcminn County, TN

"Wood Presbyterian Home was very friendly, and it was very clean. They weren't trying to hide anything. The other thing is on the same site is a nursing home, so when my uncle gets to where he needs a nursing home, he can stay right here in the same facility. I saw all three levels of care. They have an exercise room, they have nurses on staff, they have a library, they have community rooms, they have a dining room, and then they have an outside courtyard."

"We have chosen Avail Senior Living for my mother-in-law. Their studio room is very spacious, and they provide a small refrigerator and a microwave. It is a newer facility, it's just a year old. It is very bright and airy, and there's a lot of sunlight coming through. They have sunrooms with skylights. They have a nice little courtyard and screened porches. The dining room was nice and spacious. Carrie was the one who gave us a tour of the place. She was great and we even talked to the owner, and they were both accommodating."

"We toured the Garden Plaza in Cleveland. It had cottages, which we really liked. They were independent. They had apartments, and they also had assisted living. They had a lot of activities, and the buildings were nice. It was in a good location. The staff was excellent. The food was very good too. It was one of the best places, but a little expensive."

"The Veranda at Life Care Center of Rhea County was a fairly large facility. They had a whole calendar of activities and they took seniors out to restaurants once a month. They also take them to the bank, to Walmart, and other places, so they had a lot going on for their assisted living residents. There is also a nursing home attached to it. My father-in-law has dementia and this is more of an assisted living facility; it is not like a memory care facility or anything. For people with dementia -- especially advanced dementia -- I don't think they would have the right type of care. I really did not see anything on which they needed to improve. They had rooms available, but it is a newer facility, so it hadn't filled up yet. The nursing facility was full, but the assisted living facility still had openings. "

"We visited Legacy Village of Cleveland, which was a very premier facility. We wanted it, but it was out of our budget. I liked the architecture, the layout of the rooms, and the food. The food was excellent. We ate lunch there. The food was very pleasing to the eye and looked like a good variety. The facility was spacious. It is near restaurants, near the interstate, easy to get to, and it is near my home."

"The Courtyard staff was very kind and helpful when I called with questions or visited. The owner, David, made himself available 24/7 to myself and my family. Their Director of Nursing always contacted me and notified me of any changes or anything she thought I needed to be aware of. We were so comfortable and slept easy at night knowing mom was in their care. "

"I feel very good about the care my mother gets at Golden Years. It feels like a large, happy home, with loving, personal attention by the staff and medical care provided either on-site or by transportation to local services. They cook actual home-style, tasty, healthy meals and provide all levels of assistance, as needed, from bathing, dressing, blood-sugar-testing, etc. I cannot imagine I'd have found a better place for my mother - she had received sub-par care in far more expensive facilities prior to moving her to Golden Years from out of state. The all-inclusive monthly fee is extremely good value. The only drawback perhaps is that the local hospital may not provide the spectrum of care needed by some people - you need to look into this first. By the way, Golden Years took good care of my grandmother, too, who passed at the age of nearly 107, after 7 years of dedicated care there. They are extremely patient and understanding of residents with dementia, and the facility is well secured."
