The Courtyards Senior Living

The Courtyards Senior Living sits in the center of Johnson City, TN, near shopping, parks, hospitals, and restaurants, and the buildings look more like homes than big apartments, since each one holds about 18 to 25 residents and offers a quiet, home-like feeling where people can get to know each other. They've got three separate buildings, with some focused on assisted living and others on memory care, and each building is small to make sure staff know the residents well and help them in a personal way, which helps folks feel safe, especially if someone's living with dementia or Alzheimer's and likes to walk around or needs extra reminders. Administrators are Eden Certified Associates, so they put seniors' well-being first, and the staff includes 24-hour nurses and caregivers who've learned how to help people with daily needs and manage any behavioral changes that can come with aging. Each resident gets an individual care plan, and staff talk with families and provider representatives about care levels, move-ins, waiting lists, and what to expect which makes transitions a bit easier. Rooms come in private or semi-private layouts, with personal bathrooms, kitchens or kitchenettes, cable TV, emergency call systems, washers and dryers, and even space for folks to bring their favorite furniture and decorations. For staying busy, there are game rooms, lounges, walking paths, fitness centers, salon/barbershops, internet, group activities, crafts, worship, educational programs, outings, and always something happening to keep bodies and minds active, which matters a lot, and that's part of why The Courtyards has won awards for activities that get people talking, moving, and thinking together. The kitchens serve meals planned by chefs and nutritionists with a focus on quality and taste, and there's help for eating if someone needs it. Personal care assistants help with bathing, dressing, and walking, and there's medical care like on-site nurses, medication help, wound care, therapy, and even visiting podiatrists when necessary. Safety features include sprinkler systems, handicap access, private emergency buttons, and secure memory care areas to keep everyone safe, and families can schedule tours or virtual visits to see what everyday life looks like, right down to the meals and social times. Being part of a family-owned group, the place has a culture that feels welcoming and respectful, with staff known for being kind and joyful, and they run respite or day-stay programs with all the services included, so it's possible to try things out or visit for a short time as well. Home care's even available for those needing companionship or non-medical help at home, and the location is close to medical centers, banks, and grocery stores, which makes daily living easier. The Courtyards Senior Living cares for all kinds of needs, whether that means independent living, assisted living, nursing care, home care, or memory care, and each option tries to help seniors stay as active, independent, and comfortable as they can in a small, friendly setting.
