The Best Nursing Home Communities in Loudon County, TN

"I have spent a little over a month. The building is a building but the staff that work here are what makes it great. I give staff a 10. Nursing Jennifer is amazing so caring. CNAs Tanya and Brenda just to name a few are awesome. Therapy Scottie and Kerry got me back to where I need to be and able to go back home. I would highly recommend Diversicare to anyone needing rehab and nursing needs."

"My mother-in-law is currently at NHC in Oak Ridge, and she is getting very good care. I have noticed that mornings are more lively, and that might be a good time to make a first visit to check it out. All staff have been very friendly and caring with her (and us!). "

"Foothills Transitional Care and Rehabilitation exceeded every expectation. The care my mother received was absolutely incomparable—every member of the staff went above and beyond with kindness, professionalism, and genuine compassion. The food was healthy, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared, which made such a difference during her recovery. I truly feel so blessed that we found this place for my mom. It gave our family peace of mind and gave her the support and healing environment she needed. Highly recommend Foothills to anyone looking for exceptional care!"

"My Dad spent the last 4 years of his life here. He dad Parkinson's disease so it was impossible for me to care for him at home. There was a group of 6 residents who shared lunch and dinner in the common area on their floor. They were very close knit. The staff loved my Dad. In fact, several of them came to the memorial service we had for him in the chapel at Shannondale. I could not have been more pleased with Shannondale! "

"Excellent care and wonderful, kind compassionate staff! "

"Kindred Nursing was very nice and gentle to mom and to the family. As mom was in the process of dying, her room was straight across the nurses' station. She had a private room and they had the hospice team come in to make sure she was comfortable. Mom was past eating at that time. She was no longer conscious and the room was cleaned on a regular basis. The nurses came in on a regular basis to check on her and to check on us. That was me and my mom, her brother and his wife. They turned her on a very regular basis so that she would not develop bed sores. Anytime we had a concern about something and rang the bell, they came immediately and toward the end, she was breathing a lot through her mouth and it got dry and would start to bleed a whole bit. They were real good at attempting to keep that moist and showed us how to do it and toward the end, they would explain things to us about her breathing like the end is getting close and then the three of us were there when she took her last breath. I went out to get a nurse and they came in and checked her. As she had passed away, they let us stay as long as we wanted to, they did not rush us. I was pleasantly surprised at how much care they showed her. "

"The residents at Samaritan Place receie the highest level of care of any place I have visited. The staff is definitely a team. Social Services and Activities are superior. This is the only Senior care facility with an Executive Chef and Sous Chef. The Chef was trained at Culinary Institute of America and received additional training in Paris. Meals are prepared at Samaritan place and transported to all other Catholic Chairity facility in Knoxville. "

"We visited Shannondale. The rooms and common areas were very nice, but it appeared a little sterile for my mom. They only have private rooms. The staff was condescending and downplayed interest in mother coming to their facility."

"This is a fantastic home. My father, who has dementia, has been for about 5 years. He is kept clean and well fed. He always comments about the good food. The place is spotless. All homes are expensive, but this one was no more expensive than other places in Knoxville. Plus, the cost of diapers is covered. My dad is a difficult man to manage, especially with dementia, but they do a beautiful job with him. Most rooms are dual occupancy with a twin size bed, closet, and chest for each resident. He never participated in many activities, but before COVID, he did get to go on field trips. He usually attends church service onsite as well. "

"My wife has moved into Renaissance Terrace Community Living Center for rehab. I like the fact that the entire staff seems to be very dedicated, very conscientious, and very, you know, very dedicated towards helping people, like a lot of other medical facilities around the very shorthanded. They're doing their best to work with her. She has a lot going on and they're doing their very best to help her out. Again, a somewhat larger staff would help, but in the places that we've been this year so far, everybody is understaffed. So, nothing new, so I rate them pretty high. The overall staff that is here, I would rate high. They were very thorough explaining things, and again, we could use more people, but the ones that they have here are very good. It isn't necessarily their fault, but they do have COVID restrictions, so I can't go in there and look around. They do have a gym. It's not huge and spacious like the place we were at. Right now, she's covered by Medicare. I don't even know what the billing is."

"I like Brakebill Nursing Home specifically because of how they take care of the safety of the residents. There's enough staff to ensure that each resident stays safe. There are residents that like to walk and you can find staff members, not necessarily standing next to them, but definitely in their vicinity, making sure that they're OK. The residents that were prone to falls were in chairs, so they could still move around. They encourage you to be social. The food is good. They have excellent nurses and the staff is attentive, skilled, and aggressive to the clients. They're very skilled in knowing how to deescalate things. I love the staff there. Everybody's smiling. The residents seem to be at peace and happy. My father's room was OK, and he knew how to quickly find the restroom even with Alzheimer's. I also like the physical therapy there."

"My sisters and I could not recommend Morning View more highly. Our beloved father received care there, first for physical therapy and then for hospice in the last week of his life. The care was truly extraordinary. Every person we encountered was knowledgeable and clearly dedicated to patient care. They were equally attentive to us in a time of deep grief, checking in on us regularly to bring water or whatever we needed. We had heard good things from many people when we asked for recommendations on local facilities and have shared our experience with everyone. It was a difficult, stressful and challenging time for Dad and for us, but the Morning View team was the silver lining we had not expected. We would give 10 stars if they were available. Thank you Morning View, we so appreciate you!"

"We visited Asbury Place Maryville a couple of years ago. We thought it was very nice. It certainly covers all bases that allow independent living in the single homes, if you need more help a little later you can move into the assisted living unit, and then if you get sick and need to be in a nursing home, it provides that also. We were looking at all of it as much as we could. We looked at plans for new stuff. I'm legally blind, so I can't drive, and my husband is 86 years old, so the transportation situation was very good. It was things like that we were looking at as much as the independent home because we're both able to take care of the house. We have friends that live there. It's just about anything you could ask for. They were just so cordial and so nice. It was a very pleasant visit. The staff were very cordial. They answered all the questions that we had. We knew quite a bit about it before we went from our friends. They were very, very nice. I thought the independent living was a 5; they were very nice homes. Our friends said that the food is very good, although they cook in their home most of the time. But on occasion when I go over, the food is inexpensive. You just have to let them know that you want to eat the dinner meal or whatever, and they make arrangements for you to do that. It was like $4 or $5 for a meal, and in today's world, that's very inexpensive. They have lots of activities for the people to participate in like crafts, playing games, as well as shopping, going to the doctor, and going on excursions."

"my mother is in this facility and she has been treated so well from admission staff all the way to rn.cna, therapy and housekeeping staff. She loves being there and they make her feel so welcome and cared for. i would recommend thiese girls on the rehab and therapy side to anyone. Thank you all so much for all that you do. "
