The Best Senior Living Communities in Elizabethton, TN

"We toured Brookdale Rock Springs. The people were very friendly. It was clean. They even called to keep us updated. It's just that they didn't have two bedrooms available. The dining area was nice."

"Brookdale Kingsport I was very impressed with this place. Each guest needed to be let in to enter the facility also when leaving (security) My mother-n-law said they get 3 meals each day where excellent, and snacks. she can eat in the dinner room, or her apartment. She get rides to/from Doctor. She seem very happy to be around other people. She enjoys having her laptop with internet and watching TV (both include). The staff all seemed friendly and helpful. this is a good place."

"The overall tour at Oakmont at Gordon Park was very good. The staff that gave the tour was very nice, very professional and very knowledgeable. The facility itself was very clean, very inviting, and very nice. It's a one-of-a-kind gem in Bristol, Virginia."

"I visited American House Kingsport. They were extremely helpful in explaining the levels of care and how they would manage even someone who was in transition. As they declined, they would still be capable of doing the care. The other thing that we like is that a resident may go to assisted living and then move into memory care, and as their abilities decline to the point where they need hospice, they can manage that in-house through a partner. The staff was very knowledgeable and very personable, and they shared even personal experiences. The director was very knowledgeable and understanding. The cleanliness and the structure of the building were excellent. The size of the rooms and the layout were very adequate and well designed."

"I had a good tour experience at Commonwealth Senior Living at Abingdon. They were very polite and helpful. Bathrooms are included in the rooms. You get as much help or as little as you want or need. They have numerous activities. The facility has a music room, a dining hall, and an outdoor area. It's very nice. It's conveniently located. It's easy to have access to/from Interstate 81 or Route 19."

"all of you were so good to my sweet brother his brothers and sisters thank you from the bottom of our hearts. his name was willard peters as you guys called him willie he loved you all especially the person that got him buttermilk one night sincerly with love "

"Pine Ridge Care was my second choice; it was a very nice place too. The amenities there weren't super anything, but the staff was really good. There were lots of interaction with the patients, and there were lot of patients comparably speaking that were out of bed; it's just wasn't in our hometown. "

"I toured Hermitage Health and Rehabilitation for my mom. It was a much newer facility than many I've seen. I think that the physical appearance of the place, outside especially, was more attractive than your average place. It is also in a very good location. It's up on a steep hill, so, in wintertime, and you want to go visit somebody there, you need to know how to drive in winter conditions and on a steep hill. Nonetheless, I think it's a very nice place for the residents. Now, the only potential downside or potential negative is that I noticed it was extremely crowded. I just felt like they had a lot of patients. When I visited, it was a time for them to be out socializing and not be in their rooms, so the hallways were full of people. When my mom was moved out of rehab and into long-term care without having applied for Medicaid yet, they kind of stopped helping. I wasn't happy with that. When they thought they were going to have my mom as a resident, they were very nice and very helpful. But when she got moved out of rehab up in the place where she is now in Kentucky, that made it impossible to transfer here under Medicare. And so they just kind of dropped it. They said there's nothing they can do. And I was hoping they'd have been more helpful. The place is not brand new, but it looked new and it looked nice and clean."

"I'm currently at Hillview Health Center for rehab. It is a very nice facility. The upkeep is very, very good. The rooms are nice. They have a little gym at the top area here for the rehab part, and it's very nice and up-to-date. They decorate very nicely. Like right now, they decorate for the autumn and also specifically some little Halloween stuff, and they do a super job of it. They have a wonderful staff, from top to bottom. They're very, very patient-oriented and they are largely hometown staff from here in Elizabethton and the surrounding areas. Most patients are from this area, so they have a great rapport with the patients. They are very caring people. When you request assistance for anything, they're right on it. They do a nice job and they are very professional. The nursing staff is very professional, as are the doctors. And the CNAs are very well trained and they do a great job. Food is just like typical institutional food and it's not going to be like dining out in a restaurant. Upstairs, they have more of a permanent population. So, they have activities every day for those folks. I'd participate a couple of times a week when they have a little group exercise thing."

"The main reason why I chose this facility is because they provide rehabilitation service and therapy 7 days a week. And I'm really impressed with their therapist. They are really nice and take good care of my mom. We were looking forward that she'll be out of the facility in 2 weeks time since she is improving every day. I'll definitely recommend this center for those people as well who are looking for rehabilitation service. "

"We took a tour for my mother-in-law. It was very bright, and welcoming, it is a very nice facility. I loved that there was a courtyard that they could walk in and out comfortably, and not worry that they would wander because it was enclosed. She has a little dog, and she could have taken her dog out to use the bathroom easily and got back to her room easily. We wouldn't have to worry that she would be walking outside, and no one knew where she would be. The person who assisted us was delightful. The place was very clean. It was very warm and inviting. There were lots of bright windows, lots of nice colors, and it smelled fresh. It was very nice."
