The Neighborhood at Tellico Village offers a wide range of senior living options in a single-story community that sits close to a lake, with a park and a pond out back, and there's even a gated entrance for added safety. The staff stay on the grounds around the clock, and there's always someone awake if a resident needs them in the night, while nurses handle daily care and a doctor remains on call. There are assisted living, independent living, and memory care services, each with different housing choices such as studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, some with kitchenettes, full kitchens, and covered or resident parking. People can bring pets, and there's a dog park where they can play, plus pet therapy and activities for animal lovers.
Residents receive one, two, or three meals each day, and they eat in private or restaurant-style dining rooms, with vegetarian and special diets available, and the MyChoice Dining Program gives folks more options, while happy hours, a bar/cocktail lounge, and complimentary breakfast help brighten mornings and evenings. There's a large activity center, a beauty salon and barbershop, a movie theater with regular movie nights, an indoor heated pool, a fitness center, a card and game room, and community computer stations while outdoor spaces include a gazebo, gardens, walking paths, and a pond for quiet reflection or gardening clubs. The Alzheimer's Memory Care section stays secured using technological aids like bracelets and alarms, and is purpose-built to help those at risk of wandering, major behavior challenges, or confusion, and staff have training for supervision and reminders about grooming, toileting, and daily routines, while also delivering care for diabetes, insulin injections, blood sugar monitoring, incontinence care, and transfers from bed to wheelchair with mechanical lifts when needed.
Transportation services come included, though there's also parking for those who keep their own cars, and staff help with errands or trips to nearby shopping or outings, plus there are exercise classes, art classes, karaoke, Wii bowling, cooking classes, and trivia to keep the days full. Volunteers, intergenerational programs, and an array of social events like game nights, movie nights, group trips, brain fitness sessions, educational lectures, and community service draw residents together, and a chapel, religious services, and an Alzheimer's Support Group each month serve spiritual and emotional needs.
Laundry, housekeeping, and concierge services come standard, and FOX Rehabilitation, podiatry, and therapy services can visit on-site, while both long-term and short-term stays are available, including respite care and home care with aides for those needing extra non-medical help. Every apartment includes cable, satellite TV, and internet, and the general culture receives praise for a friendly, joyful, and supportive environment, and over the years, The Neighborhood at Tellico Village has collected awards for friendly staff, helpfulness, activities, and care. It holds a valid state license that ensures regulatory compliance and safety, and there's always an open door for tours from people looking to see what day-to-day life is like, how dining works, and what activities fill the calendar, with staff and neighbors ready to introduce anyone to their community that really tries to include everyone who walks through the door.
