Memory Care Communities in Hixson, TN

"I toured Thrive at Brow Wood. The staff was helpful. She took us on a tour and told us the different things that they do. They have a Wii and my brother used to bowl. They had a Wii with a bowling app so that he could sit in his wheelchair and act like he was bowling. The facilities were great. The layout was good. They had a lady there who helped them paint and showed them how to paint pictures. The activities director was nice. While we were there, we got to watch him. They were dancing. They were doing karaoke. That was delightful."

"A truly remarkable community! My grandmother is immersed in engaging activities during my visits, and the attentive staff is available when my grandmother needs help with anything. The appetizing aromas wafting from the kitchen hint at the culinary adventure for my grandmother. I can't help but feel uplifted by this nurturing environment."

"My mother was at Dalton Square for three months. We were well satisfied with them. My mother didn't want to mingle a whole lot, but they had activities all the time for those people. The food was excellent. The staff was excellent, too. My mother was very happy there and we were happy with them. My mom had an apartment with a bedroom, a nice walk-in bathroom and shower, a little kitchenette, and a little living room area. So that was very, very nice. They also had activities going on all the time."

"I went to Dominion Senior Living of Hixson. The facility was beautiful and immaculate, and the lady said that my father's income isn't enough to cover the expenses and they don't take government care. They do have, however, a dementia ward in the back, and the rates were too high for us. So, she took us to the back room, chatted with my sister and me, went down the list of his level of dementia, and told us that he needed to be in a dementia ward and that nursing home state government help. She was very nice and very understanding and tried to help us as much as she could but couldn't offer her facility because I think it was $6,000 a month. We couldn't afford that. It was an excellent facility, and if we had the money then that would have been one of my first choices. It was halfway between my siblings and me, and we would love that. If we can afford it, I would send my father there. It was excellent. The staff were kind, considerate, and understanding. The facility was fine, and centrally located for the dining hall and meeting area. When you walk in, you see the people in the dining hall. One thing was important to me, there was a desk inside the door. So, people were watching as you came in the door, and you could go right there and get help. I felt like that was an excellent quality of the facility. Not only do you watch people when they're coming in, but you watch people when they're leaving. Whether it's good, bad, or different, you know who's coming and going. It was top-notch, beautiful, and clean; probably the nicest facility I have visited."

"Morning Pointe of Hixson is a nice place. It's a new building. The staff who gave the tour was very nice. The rooms were very nice and clean. The dining area was very nice, too. I don't know anything about the food except it was cooked from scratch. As for activities, they have a walking activity, they have physical therapy, and they have an exercise class."

"What a blessing Bailey Manor in Hixson is to our family! Each person at this sweet place is so kind, caring, and dedicated in supporting each patient and their families. From the Director of Nursing, and every member of the team, we are immensely and forever appreciative of all you have done and are doing during this stage in life. Not only do they take the time to make sure each resident is thriving the best they can in their own journey with dementia, they make sure to help each resident and their family find the resources and support they need. The smaller atmosphere is so welcoming, clean, and purposeful, and every single caregiver is there because they have a heart for service. We are so fortunate and beyond grateful to have become a part of the Bailey Manor in Hixson family."

"Martin Boyd staff is dedicated, consistent, and truly have a passion for what they do, My mom was a resident for 3+ years, (2014-2017). My mom lived on every level. Thanks to Stacey B. and Steve E., my mom was able to live at Martin Boyd til the end of her life. The rooms are spacious, and the closets provide adequate space too. Laundry is prepared individually and ironed weekly. Resident Rooms and other facility rooms are cleaned daily. Trash is emptied multiple times a day! The Food is good. We enjoyed it! I highly recommend Martin Boyd because of the consistency, dedication and compassion toward the residents and the community! "

"My mother moved into The Lantern at Morning Pointe of Chattanooga. The biggest reason we went there is it was just more convenient for me and my brother to see her. It's between us, and it's on our way to places, so it's easy for us to stop in and see her. It didn't have a nursing home feel to it, had more of an apartment or nice hotel feel. The staff members were all good. From what I've seen with interacting with my mom and interacting with me, they've been great. I've talked to them almost every day since she's moved in, calling me with: "She's got this going on. Can we do this?", and just keeping in touch with me of what's going on. The food is good. I ate dinner with her the other night, and it was good. The facilities are wonderful. They just opened back up after a tornado went through and tore it up. So it's pretty much brand new, but it's nice. The upkeep was nice. The maintenance guy was great, I've met him. The rooms, even the small rooms, were just nice. The bathrooms are big. It has stuff like benches and showers. There were no steps or anything that they could trip on. It was a nice facility. They have the halls color-coded for them and little shadow boxes outside of the room, and we can put pictures of them in there. There was a physical therapy area, hair salon, ice cream parlor, and dining room. There was like a sensory room. If they get agitated, they can take them to this room and kind of calm down. There was a block of old-timey kitchen set up where they can go and play. There's an activities area and what I call the great room, kind of where they all gather and watch TV or do activities and stuff."

"My mom has been in The Lantern at Morning Pointe of Collegedale for two weeks now. It's close to my house. The people there are great. They're very kind, caring people. They're very easy to work with, and they're very helpful. We went to a dinner Monday night, and they served a gourmet meal that the chef cooked everything from scratch. I think they have all kinds of activities, and they do a lot of one-on-one things with the residents. They will take the residents who are more high-functioning people like a group of them, but then they'll take them out one-on-one, too. It has been great. I see the staff walking by the residents, stopping and giving them big hugs. They're not doing it for any other reason. They seem to love their job and love the people that live there. The food was amazing. It was really good. The facilities are nice and clean. I'm very pleased with them there. They seem great. I have no complaints. "

"My friend moved into The Rosewood at Fort Oglethorpe. Her son chose it because it's close. It seems that all the people working there are very kind and sweet. Also, it looks very clean. My friend is very happy there and happier than I've seen him in years. The food looks good and smells good. His room is not very big. He has a bed, a dresser, a TV, a room for a chair, and a little kitchenette area. They do have a courtyard, which is pretty and well-kept."

"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."

"My dad has been staying at Orchard Ridge Residences. The facility is very clean, and the staff is caring. He loves the food. His room is nice, and their dining area is very nice and well-kept. They have plenty of activities, and they go on outings."
