Standifer Gap Home-The Elderly is a senior care facility at 8248 Standifer Gap Road in Chattanooga. The place is also known as Eagle Crest Assisted Living and has room for 16 people in a board and care home setting. The home gives help with daily living, like bathing, dressing, grooming, and medication management, and staff is there all day and night for supervision and personal assistance with transfers or getting around. The community supports independence but gives extra attention and care for people who need help or who have confusion, memory concerns, or a risk of wandering. The rooms are both private and shared, and they're mostly furnished, and there are clean linens and options for those with special care needs like diabetes. Staff help with housework and laundry, prepare and serve meals (including for special diets and food allergies), and there are activities like exercise, arts, crafts, movies, and community outings. Residents can get rides to doctor appointments, stores, or errands, and the property is wheelchair accessible with walking paths, gardens, and parking.
The home has regular visits from volunteers and claims a high staff-to-resident ratio, so each person gets more attention, but there are concerns about staff sometimes not being paid and not enough medical help, because there aren't nurses on-site, even when there are claims of some. Some reviews say certain spaces have problems, like unclean areas or residents staying in small or poorly kept rooms, and the building itself can feel run-down, though others describe it as homelike and friendly, with a family atmosphere and staff that treat residents kindly. Standifer Gap Home-The Elderly offers board and care for $1,000 a month for a private room and has a review score of 2.8 out of 5. The place works with local healthcare providers and keeps access to pharmacies and physicians in the nearby area, along with restaurants, parks, and churches close by. While the facility helps seniors with personal needs and gives support for people with memory care issues (including Alzheimer's and dementia), families should look closely at the care, staff numbers, cleanliness, and medical services to make sure those match their own needs and standards.
