Kennington Pointe offers assisted living, memory care, independent living, nursing care, respite, and hospice services, using special names throughout the building for its services, rooms, and programs, which can make it a little unique, and the staff pay attention to different care needs since the residents come in with a variety of health and support issues, so the place set up specific programs to match those requirements, and the memory care building sits apart and uses closed, secure technology-like bracelets that trigger alerts-if a resident at risk tries to leave the protected area. Residents can live in options ranging from studio or grand two-bedroom apartments to units with full kitchens or kitchenettes, and private patios or balconies, and choose floor plans like Alcove, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom, picking whatever suits their needs best, and every home has a private bathroom, cable TV and Wi-Fi, air conditioning, phone, and basic furnishings, which is handy for those who want to settle in with as few worries as possible. The place focuses on daily life by hosting regular movie nights, arts and crafts in a full workshop with real painting supplies, fitness and workout classes, walking clubs on the garden paths, library visits, and lots of resident-run events, and there's also an indoor movie theater, game room, chapel for spiritual activities, and spaces for music practice and reading, so nobody gets bored and there's always something to do both inside and out, with garden seating and outdoor walking spaces inviting folks to get some fresh air, while weekly outings take groups shopping or to church or for special events on the busline.
Dining services work restaurant-style and include three home-cooked meals a day in a dining room that looks out into an interior courtyard garden, and a wide menu covers residents' needs for vegetarian food, allergy, diabetes, high blood pressure, and other dietary requirements, and if somebody wants to eat outside of the regular meal hour, they can do that too because of the all-day dining program. The staff prepare meals for common special health diets, help with feeding if needed, and satisfy requests for snacks, so everyone gets what they need without fuss. The building hosts extra conveniences like an onsite salon and spa, business room, fitness room, book room, laundry and dry cleaning, family support services, resident parking, complimentary transportation for appointments and errands, and even standby or assisted transfers using mechanical lifts for those who can't walk on their own. Staff are always present, with nurses working 12 to 16 hours a day and supervision at all hours, while visiting doctors and therapists add help for medical or therapy needs, and everyone has a 24-hour call system in their unit for added safety if anything happens.
Kennington Pointe accepts residents who need help with bathing, dressing, hygiene, bathroom use, changing clothes, and medication, including blood sugar checks and insulin shots, and cares for people who may wander or have incontinence, offering reminders and full non-ambulatory care, and even takes in those with more serious behavior or memory conditions who need safety checks or thrive in secure surroundings. Pets are welcome, so residents can bring their cats or dogs if they like. There's a designated area for smoking both inside and outside, so smokers have spaces, and most common areas are meant to encourage people to socialize. The building itself has a Southern Colonial look with a three-story atrium, high windows, and lots of common spaces that make it feel open, yet it remains fully secured, using computerized wander-prevention alerts for those who need extra oversight.
The facility accommodates up to 36 residents, with pay options like private funds, long-term care insurance, or Veterans Aid and Attendance, and starting monthly rates for assisted living fall between $3,000 and $7,000 according to care, room, and extras. Regulations come from the Tennessee Department of Social Services, which means certain standards have to be met. Amenities include planned daily activities, a book club, bingo, trivia, music groups, pet therapy, and manicures, as well as full tubs for bathing, onsite beauticians, and transportation for shopping or outings, and community-sponsored events are scheduled for social connection. The building supports people wanting to stay as their needs change, from independent living right through to nursing care, and offers respite stays if someone needs short-term help. While Kennington Pointe makes an effort to cover a broad range of care and amenities, its reported community score sits at 4.8 out of 10, reflecting mixed reviews and neighborhood ratings, so that's something to consider when comparing places.
