Autumn Care West

Autumn Care West sits in a peaceful spot in Farragut, near Knoxville, offering a mix of independent living, assisted living, and memory care, so folks there can get support if they need a little or need a lot, and there's a friendly staff around day and night, including nurses, housekeeping, and therapists, to help with daily tasks like getting dressed, managing medicine, or moving between rooms, and the place has all sorts of comforts, from a restaurant-style dining room with chef-cooked meals-even for those with special diets or who like to eat whenever they want-to inviting shared spaces like a game room, arts room, library, and salon for hair and beauty. Residents can spend time outdoors in a sunny courtyard, relax under the covered patio or around the fire pit, or stroll along garden paths, and for those who enjoy exercise, there's a fitness center with machines and free weights, plus walking paths outside, and the facility welcomes pets under 20 pounds, so most folks can bring a small companion along. For safety, the apartments come with grab bars, wheelchair accessible features, and emergency call systems, so help is close by, and the whole building follows the idea of a continuing care retirement community, meaning people can stay as their care needs change. Memory care apartments have extra safety measures, plus staff trained to help with dementia and mild cognitive issues, and personalized plans that focus on activities and keeping everyone engaged. The building itself is modern and easy to get around, with an elegant lobby, sitting areas with soft chairs, a water feature, a shaded patio, and big windows, and even the apartments let residents use their own furniture or take advantage of what's already there. There are planned activities, game nights, musical events, religious services, happy hours, and clubs to give people different ways to connect and stay sharp. The facility's owners live locally and are involved in how things run, and staff work under core values like excellence and compassion, with a focus on person-centered care based on what residents actually need and want. Medical services are also available on-site, like primary care, podiatry, wound care, and behavioral health, and the community gets high marks in surveys from residents and families who feel well cared for. Even laundry and housekeeping happen every week, so folks can spend more time doing what makes them happy and less time on chores, and because of all of this, Autumn Care West is a quiet and comfortable place for people who want to be safe, stay active, and feel at home as they age.
