South Knoxville Senior Living has a lot to offer older adults looking for a safe and comfortable place as they age, because there's everything from independent living in apartment-style villas to help with more care needs in assisted living and memory care, and with the memory care service, those who have Alzheimer's or dementia live in their own secured building, so families can feel better knowing staff keep an eye on things with technology like bracelets to help stop people from wandering off. Residents who need help with daily tasks like eating, bathing, or getting dressed receive care from trained aides and nurses, and there's help for non-ambulatory folks too, even those who need two-person transfers or lifts, and the building is wheelchair accessible throughout with emergency alert systems in place. The community has a full-time nurse on staff, as well as medication care managers and technicians who help with medicine reminders and administration, and there are always awake staff on duty day and night, with on-site pharmacy, skilled nursing, blood work, and therapies like occupational and physical therapy scheduled to come see residents right at the community. South Knoxville Senior Living offers different diets like low-salt, sugar-free, low-fat, kosher, vegetarian, allergy-sensitive, and diabetic meals, all prepared by a professional chef and served in the main dining room or for special family occasions in a private space, and sometimes residents cook in their own kitchenettes too.
For people who need more than regular assisted living, there are hospice care services and respite options so family caregivers can take a break, and if someone needs cueing, supervision, or more personal care such as help with grooming, toileting, incontinence, or transfers from bed to wheelchair, the aides handle that, plus memory care accepts residents with major behavior issues, and cueing is part of how staff manage those needs. Social life stays busy with an activity director planning crafts, game nights, fitness programs, music, educational sessions, and religious services on or offsite, and there's a mix of resident-run activities for people who want to take part, plus moves are easy with help from the staff, and no one has to make big financial commitments, since rent is done month-to-month with no buy-in. It's pet-friendly for many types of animals, but small dogs aren't allowed, and the building is non-smoking inside. There are indoor and outdoor common rooms, walking trails, patios, gardens, and a coffee shop; other areas include an arts room, a library, and a recreation lounge with TV, and guests can join meals or activities if residents want company. Residents have access to laundry, dry cleaning, housekeeping, and beauty salon services.
Transportation is available for shopping, doctor appointments, and community trips with parking for those who still drive, and payment options include check, credit card, or insurance. South Knoxville Senior Living has private, studio, and single rooms with cable and WiFi, and each unit comes with its own thoughtful touches, like built-in armoires, plus six villa apartments offer larger, independent living layouts. The staff check references for all caregivers, and everyone is trained in tasks from bathing to meal preparation, so that people who move here can stay as their needs change, whether they want to stay independent, need more help, or are facing serious medical challenges. The community sits in a spot where mountain views and nature walks are easy to enjoy, and residents can keep up with hobbies or new learning in specially set aside activity spaces, so while the building's safe and practical, it also feels like a small town full of friends and support, with flexibility if health needs change later on, and residents can age in place without having to move again.
