BeeHive Homes of Knoxville sits in a peaceful area close to medical facilities and shopping, offering a smaller, family-style assisted living home with 16 suites, each with a private bathroom and ADA shower, and some rooms work well for couples. Staff keep things comfortable with daily housekeeping, laundry, and three meals a day, all made on site and approved by a dietitian, and snacks, too, so residents don't have to worry about cooking or cleaning. Residents can enjoy cable or satellite TV, their own phone line, beauty and barber services, fresh linens and towels, and a lounge to sit and visit, while 24-hour caregivers and an on-site nurse help with bathing, dressing, medication management, and other daily needs, though there's no nurse working weekends, so medication times might run a bit later then.
BeeHive Homes runs as a locally owned place, trying to make things feel home-like and friendly, with a high caregiver-to-resident ratio and a smaller building designed to help people know each other, making it easier for the staff to give care that fits each person, since every resident gets regular checkups to see what help they need. They offer a range of services for seniors, including assisted living, memory care for people with dementia or Alzheimer's, respite care for short stays after surgery or illness, and even adult day care, with both individual and group activities to keep folks socially and mentally active-things like fishing, quilting, crocheting, and outings, plus indoor groups and time outside on the patio with nice landscaping.
The staff run special Signature Service programs, providing ongoing monitoring and assistance, and try to create a place that feels safe and calm for people who may get confused or wander, with a focus on helping everyone keep their independence as much as possible. The building stays easy to get around, aiming to lessen stress, and regular activities plus devotional services help residents feel connected. BeeHive Homes gets recognized now and then for their activities and care, and they try to make every resident feel like part of a family, keeping their approach simple, personal, and friendly, so seniors can relax and live with the right amount of support to fit their needs.
