TownView Senior Living sits in a busy part of downtown Johnson City, where you can see views of Buffalo Mountain Park and the Blue Ridge Mountains, and there's a lot to do within two miles like visiting libraries, parks, stores, restaurants, medical centers, and museums, plus it's close to several hospitals. Residents get to choose from different apartment floor plans, each with their own thermostat for comfort, and parking is gated for extra safety with remote openers for residents who drive, while all apartments and mailboxes need keys, and the whole building uses FOB keys and security cameras to keep everyone safe, and guests have to buzz in at the front desk. The place is pet-friendly, letting you have up to two cats or dogs under 25 pounds per apartment, but you'll need to pay a $500 non-refundable pet fee, and you can't bring reptiles or exotic pets, and though smoking isn't allowed indoors or in most outdoor spots, there's a small designated area outside for smokers.
People who live here don't have to worry about basic chores, because the monthly rent covers three meals a day served in a dining room-with meals you can eat in, take out, or get delivered if you're sick-plus water, electricity, cable, trash pickup, bi-weekly housekeeping that includes vacuuming, mopping, light dusting, and changing linens every other week, and you get to use laundry rooms with washers and dryers at no extra cost, and utilities even include cable. The one-time community fee is $2,000, but there isn't an application fee or security deposit, and renters' insurance is required before moving in. On-site staff takes care of maintenance right away and there's always someone at the front desk, and management lives on-site too.
The community has indoor and outdoor areas for activities and relaxation, with a library, a chapel that hosts devotional services, a post office, a secure package station, an ice cream parlor, a movie theater, a bistro, a dining room and a private dining room, an art gallery, a billiards room, guest suites, an activity room, a Veterans Hall of Honor, a fitness center, a card-playing spot, and a store for general supplies. Outside, residents can visit landscaped gardens, picnic areas with a grill and smoker, a putting green, a bird sanctuary, raised garden beds, an on-site dog park, walking trails, a fire pit with rocking chairs, and places to play horseshoes, and courtyards are secured, so residents who have memory problems can enjoy fresh air safely. You'll also find plenty of planned card games, crafts, music and entertainment, annual events, worship services, fitness and health programs, and even resident-led groups, with a full schedule of trips, classes, and outings around town.
TownView Senior Living works to help people at different stages of life, offering independent senior living with private apartments for those who want freedom and no chores, assisted living for those who need help with daily tasks, and memory care for residents with memory impairments. Nurses, helpers, and trained staff are always available and are known for being friendly and skilled, and the staff helps people settle in, enjoy meals, stay active, and connect with neighbors, and there's a focus on safety, dignity, and comfort so everyone can feel at home and secure. There's scheduled transportation for doctor visits by Johnson City Paratransit and trips out on a bus, and all transportation for medical appointments is included, while personal trips with Paratransit cost $4 round-trip. Residents often talk about making friends, feeling secure, and having a sense of community, and the environment is relaxed and quiet with plenty of space to gather, play games, garden, or walk outside and inside, with views of mountains and flowers. The owners live in the area and care about building real relationships with residents and their families, with policies and activities designed to keep everyone feeling like they belong, whether they enjoy quiet time in the library, group worship, or local outings in Johnson City.
