Parkview Senior Living - North Knoxville sits at 975 E. Emory Road and offers a straightforward option for seniors wanting comfort and support in daily life, with a focus on keeping things simple and easy to follow, so anyone can understand what's going on. You'll see a building that has roomy studio and two-bedroom apartments, all with safety features like handrails, sprinkler systems, and easy-access bathrooms, which makes things safer if folks need extra help getting around. There's air conditioning so people stay cool, and washers and dryers right there in the building, along with cable TV and Wi-Fi in each unit, so residents can watch TV or go online the same way they've always done at home.
You'll find a place where folks can bring their pets, enjoy a chat with neighbors, or take part in one of the arts and crafts days, games, organized social events, or exercise programs that show up on a weekly calendar even if not everyone joins every time. The dining room offers regular meals, there's a movie theatre onsite, and a beauty salon and barbershop, plus there's always parking for visitors. Those who want independence can get their own kitchenette and keep cooking if they want, while those who want more help can have staff handle laundry, housekeeping, and even medication reminders if there's a need.
Parkview Senior Living - North Knoxville is part of a larger group with communities in West Knoxville and Maryville, and it works with programs like the Council on Aging and local support groups to give residents access to more services, some of which are designed for people with memory problems-so if someone needs memory care or emergency response systems, there'll be nurses and licensed staff around, with emergency buttons in the rooms and security measures for folks with Alzheimer's or other memory concerns.
The community links residents with outside case managers, social services, and local churches and gets people to fun places nearby, like Ijams Nature Park or the Tennessee Theater, and they can go shopping at Target or Walmart, grab food at Buddy's Bar-B-Q, or see a doctor at North Knoxville Medical Center or Tennova Healthcare, since all of these are not too far away. Parkview also provides transportation, arranging rides to stores, medical appointments, or group outings, for those who don't want to worry about driving or parking.
There are options for assisted living, independent living, and even residential homes that offer a little supervision but not full medical care if that's all someone needs, and there are various plans for people needing help with paying for rent, including Section 8 housing and affordable-rent apartments with meals, lunch socials, and some case management if someone's budget is tight. The community scores a 4.1 out of 5 in overall community feeling and a 3.8 out of 5 for value, according to folks who rated it.
Outdoor areas are set up with places to sit and enjoy the weather, and the grounds make it easy for residents to get outside and have a walk, or just meet new friends and join a community event. Inside, there's a fitness center for those who still like to exercise and guest parking for family visits. Staff is always around, and there's a forum for caregivers to stay connected, ask questions, or learn from others going through the same things, and when someone moves in, the staff has an initial meeting to go over what kind of help will be needed, and then they set up a care plan, which gets revisited now and then to match what's best for the resident.
There's a chance to go for a tour or even schedule a virtual visit, so people can see what the place looks like and make up their own minds. Services are laid out plain and easy, meant for folks who want to enjoy their days, connect with people, and have access to the basics, and sometimes a little more, depending on what's needed. Parkview Senior Living - North Knoxville isn't fancy in how it talks about itself but the place covers the basics well, making it a steady choice for seniors in the area.
