Assisted Living Communities in Oak Ridge, TN

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"My mom has been at River Oaks Place. She's in memory care, up until she broke her hip and she had to move. They're all very nice and very good. They had activities for them while she was mobile. They took them out in places and have programs there. Since COVID, I don't know what they had been able to do over the summer. So far they have not had an outbreak. They are very nice people, they kept me informed and the nurses were good. Overall, she had a very nice experience and enjoyed being there. Everything that I saw about the food is wonderful, smelled delicious. If she had a problem with eating, they knew something was wrong. The staff was always very good and very nice. Never eaten the food but she enjoyed it. Unless someone was having a severe health problem at the time and all throwing up or incontinence, it was always beautifully cleaned, smelled nice and was great."

"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 ."

"I chose Jamestowne Assisted Living for my mom because of the cost and the care. They're rated pretty high, and when my wife and I talked to them, we liked the people and liked the way it was. The people there are nice. I like them a lot. My mom is happy there. She doesn't have to share a room, and it's cheaper than the one that she would have to share a room with at the other place. She has her own room, and it is a good size. She also has good people there. The price is the cheapest in the area, and I thought they're the best of all of them. I also have tried the food, and it is really good. Right now, my mom spent a couple of hours in physical therapy, and then they helped her walk down hallways. They have other activities, but she hasn't gotten involved with them yet because she can't get around as much as she wants to. We haven't paid attention to the activities, but I see an activity sheet on the wall, and they have something going on every day, so they're busy. I know they do quite a few field trips and stuff like that, and she wants to go on those. They're super clean. They're always cleaning, and they're always sanitizing. Their food is restaurant quality. My mom loves their food. She has a high standard for food, and she loves Jamestowne's food."

"My mother-in-law resides in Sycamore Trace. Her husband is there, too, but he doesn't need much help. It's very good and very well run. It's a nice place, it's very clean, it smells okay, and it's kept up nicely. The workers are constantly interacting with the residents. If there's a problem, they want to fix it. They're very responsive. I would recommend anyone to go there if they need a place like that. With regard to food, I ate some of their vegetable soup that my mother-in-law didn't want to eat, and it was decent. It's good enough to eat. My father-in-law seems to like it fine, too. The facility is all on one level. It's not huge, and there's a dining room where people can gather together and chat and stuff. They have a couple of other rooms on the side if people want to play cards or something. They play bingo sometimes. There's a lobby in the front where people can watch TV if they prefer. They got pictures of some of the veterans. They have other activities. I think sometimes they'll serve ice cream or stuff for the people. They treat everybody well there."

"My mother has moved into Oakwood Senior Living. It's nice, and the price was right. They have a bed, a dresser, and a lamp in the room. The staff members are friendly and nice. They're good, too. The building is nice. They have activities, but I don't know what they are. They have a courtyard."

"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 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."

"I have moved into River Oaks Place Loudon. It is a four-story building on top of a hill in Loudon, Tennessee and it's very peaceful. The staff is very kind. I enjoy my stay. They also allow my pet to come with me. They all help take care of her. They do my laundry and my dinner. They help me clean my room. If I need help with anything else, they're right here. It's an assisted living, so they don't bother me unless I need help. My room is more of a studio. They have activities on the second floor. They have games, they have exercises in the mornings, and they have devotionals in the mornings. They have a sister facility down here that they mingle with. The activities are fun."
