Arbor Terrace of Knoxville

We picked this community, because the staff is more knowledagble, they offered more activities off campus, the pricing was clearer, and they had more options for the level of care provided. My loved one has really enjoyed being there, has made new friend, and is able to socialize more. They are good with checking on my loved one.

There is no hesitation to place a loved one here. The care and the longevity of the staff sets the community apart from other communities in the area. The care that my loved one receives is personally geared to them. The staff communication with the family is good. The community sends out updates to the family about what activities our loved one has participated in. They also are prompt to send out and honest about concerns that may be happening in the community

I'll start with a caveat based on some of the other reviews complaining of meals served on disposable plates, etc. Because facilities like this are required by law to take more precautions than most of us during the pandemic & due to staffing shortages that every single industry is facing, you are not going to find ANY assisted living able to serve restaurant presentation type meals on fancy fine dinnerware right now. I've been in healthcare 30 years myself & have never seen more challenges in the industry. Please be gracious.... I would highly recommended Arbor Terrace. I only wish we had known about Arbor earlier. It was hard for Dad to leave his beautiful home - but there was just no way he could navigate the stairs and stay there alone anymore. But not only does he have a beautiful comfortable apartment there, I feel like we have both gained more family members in the beautiful community provided by the Arbor Terrace team. It's not just a place for Dad, it is home & family.

While they have MANY good people working there, who really care about the residents, we were “lied to” and had to move my Mom. I’m sharing this in hopes of preventing others from having to go through the same pains and hassle. Their food and food service was very substandard, which was a BIG misrepresentation, during their sales pitch. Much of it canned and always served on styrofoam with plastic utensils. Their sign in/accountability system is cumbersome and inefficient. And most importantly, they couldn’t seem to pay close enough attention in administering my Mom’s many medicines and because of that, the meds most likely were frequently not working properly. Don’t make the same mistake we made. Look around. There ARE better places in the area.

The staff members here are very friendly, and the meals are pretty good. They activities are great, everyone there has been vaccinated so they are able to go out and about. It is a little expensive, but the services, friendliness of the staff and their communication is 100 times better then our previous community and completely worth it.

I would want others to know that part of the reason for my ratings was that they have been quite understaffed since the pandemic. They do not have time to spend with residents anymore so if she needs any type of help it takes forever to wait. The main issue that I have is the food that they serve, they give lots of sandwiches for meals. The food they serve is pretty much just industrial, the quality is not good and it is not freshly made. They are not well balanced and portions are small. I have been taking her meals since she will not eat it. Since covid she has not been able to come out of her room at all so she is not getting any exercise recently whatsoever. As far as the nursing care, they are good and they check on her and make sure she is doing well. They have also been good about communicating with me if there are any issues.

I would highly recommend Arbor Terrace of Knoxville to anyone who is looking. We really enjoyed my dads stay here for his last year of life. The staff members were very friendly and you can tell they really cared about my dad.

I was very impressed with Arbor Terrace. All meds and health updates are entered on the computer directly after the resident has been checked on. This facility has both outside and inside video cameras, many do not. I'm very impressed with the training of all new hires. They have to interview with every department head and have a complete background check. Most of the staff here are tenured and have worked here at least 5 years and many have 10 years of service.

Very impressive. The thing that stood out most to me was the long term tenure of many of their staff. They love working here and they love seniors. I think this would be an excellent choice.

We toured this community and we were so impressed with the menu. We liked the staff and the community were very clean and maintained. They had great entertainment when we toured the community. This is a nice community. Families might want to see the community for the care and the cost. They did not have a lot of men at that this community. Families might consider a tour of this community

We are pretty pleased with it so far. All the people we initially made contact with, seems to be real enjoyable to work with. They are very open about things. Seeing the staff's interaction with the residents, seems like more of a family than just a job. The other residents seem to be pretty welcoming. He loves the food there. They have him going from one activity to another, and they keep him pretty busy. They were pretty similar in price to everything.

We toured this community when we were looking into care options for my loved one. I really liked the look of this community. It was a beautiful facility, and the staff all seemed very friendly and professional. Unfortunately it was a bit too far for us to consider it as an option, but it is definitely worth a look!

This seemed about the same as the other two places that I saw. It was clean, the staff was friendly and the price was about the same. It seemed like a good option but they didn't have any space available at the time.
