Park Place of West Knoxville sits in a two-story building with many options for senior living like independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing care, so older adults can move in and stay even if their needs change over time, and it lets residents bring in their own caregivers if they need extra help, which many folks like because it gives them more control over the help they get. The apartments come as studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms, and each one has private bathrooms, kitchenettes, and sometimes even full kitchens, walk-in closets, and balconies or patios. Rates start at $2,395 for a studio and go up to $4,495 for a two-bedroom, and the rent covers breakfast and dinner, with a $3 lunch option if you want, and the culinary team makes nutritious, tasty meals, sometimes even led by a Food Network celebrity chef, and Park Place is proud of being recognized in U.S. News & World Report as Best Independent Living and also as the number one independent senior community in a local magazine poll for 2022.
Pets are welcome as long as they're under 25 pounds, and there's pet therapy, a dog park, and plenty of outdoor spots like patios, walking paths, a gazebo, community gardens, a pond, and even a lake, so anyone who enjoys nature will find a peaceful setting, and there are parks and nature trails nearby.
