Hello Darlene, thank you so much for reaching out and sharing this feedback with us. We are so happy to hear you've always thought highly of our community, but are very concerned to hear you are now worried about some of the recent changes we've been making to help improve the safety of our residents and shorten the response time by trained medical professionals in the event of an emergency. We would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you, and show you these changes are designed with the safety and well-being of our residents top of mind. Please, give our Resident Relations team a call anytime. We really hope to hear from you, and wish you all the best in the meantime! Thank you so much once again for reaching out, and providing us the opportunity to address these concerns -- we appreciate it, and you!

Hello, thank you for your review. We regret to hear that you were not completely satisfied with your experience at our community and are confident this does not represent our community as a whole. We understand that many personnel changes and restructuring have occurred since your experience at our community and we hope to get a second chance to show you how great our leadership is. Thank you

Questions about Smoky Springs
Describe the overall population of independent living residents at Smoky Springs. What is their average age? What are their favorite things to do?
Our residents range from 55 to early 100s and everything in between! Their favorite activities are as different as their personalities! By using our Holiday 365 app each resident is able to view the daily calendar and sign up for events that interest them. If they are unable to find something that peaks their interest on the calendar they can simply message a friend to join them for a game of cards or to enjoy a walk around the community.
What transportation services does Smoky Springs offer to independent living residents?
Our residents can take advantage of the complimentary transportation to help them get around town. The scheduled shuttle can take residents to stores, doctor appointments, dining, or group outings.
What makes the chef or dining program at Smoky Springs exceptional? What kind of menu can independent living residents expect?
Our community has an Executive Chef and Sous Chef who care about providing residents not only delicious but also nutritious meals, 3 times a day. Our menus are changed seasonally to ensure the freshest products and flavors and we offer over 150 different entrees with each season. Residents can select a la carte items for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Entrees at each service include specials like our Holiday Fresh option or Resident’s Choice. All meals are served in our restaurant-style dining rooms with friends and neighbors, allowing everyone to enjoy good food and good conversation.
What common areas are available for independent living residents?
Residents are able to socialize in our game room or activity room, sit back with a good book at our library, get physical at our fitness room or just catch up with some friends in the atrium.
What safety features or security measures does Smoky Springs offer to independent living residents?
Our residents can feel safe 24/7 knowing that they can access help with just a push of a button. Each resident receives their own Lively Mobile Plus emergency device that goes anywhere they do. The device, which is included in monthly rent, can be activated for a variety of reasons, including emergencies, directions, health concerns, or to just speak to a friendly voice. The community is also only accessible to residents from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. so you can rest easy knowing that there will not be unwanted late-night visitors.
If Smoky Springs accepts dogs or cats, what indoor/outdoor areas can they enjoy?
We love our residents and we love their pets! Our community is pet friendly so you can bring your furry friend with you to your new home. There are green spaces and courtyards as well as walking paths where you can enjoy nice long walks.
Does Smoky Springs work with an agency or registry to provide nursing and medical assistance as needed?
Our community provides the option to each resident to choose their own third party care provider. This allows the freedom of choice and flexibility for each resident to determine how much, or how little, support they need.
