Shannondale Health Care Center

We have put down a deposit at Shannondale Retirement Center to be on their waiting list. Based on our tour, the place is satisfactory. They offer a CCRC arrangement, and they are in the process of constructing a new building for independent living, and it looks like it'll be very nice. The rooms that will be available to us will be in the new building, but we have an idea what they'll be like based on floor plans and so on. They have transportation to some events and to doctors. I believe they also provide transportation to the Knoxville Symphony and so on.

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!

The people who work here are not very friendly. While I was visiting a couple of the residents I saw employees come into the rooms and refill water glasses without saying a word to the resident. Not even a hello. We went to the tv room and past several employees who did not even respond when we said hello to them. I have told my family that if I ever need that kind of care I will haunt them if they place me there.
