Shannondale Assisted Living sits at 805 Shannondale Way in Maryville and offers a quiet place for seniors who want help with daily living but still wish to stay independent as much as possible, and the place has a warm, welcoming feeling with a steady hum of activity for people who want to stay busy or learn something new. There are 59 assisted living units in the community, and the spaces range from studio and one-bedroom apartments with small kitchenettes, private bathrooms, cable TV, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and emergency alert systems to larger, freestanding villas for those who like more room, plus the place keeps safety in mind with secure entry, sprinkler systems, and a 24-hour call system.
Shannondale offers both assisted living and independent living, following a Continuing Care Retirement Community model, so residents can enjoy lifetime use of their homes without worrying about maintenance, and for higher care needs, they provide skilled nursing and even dementia or Alzheimer's care, with help for bathing, dressing, transfers, medication, and the routine things of daily life. Meals are chef-prepared every day, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner served with table service, plus all-day dining options with meals that fit many special diets like kosher, vegetarian, gluten-free, and diabetic-friendly, and snacks are out and available at all times. The place also has family support and education, and there are special programs for family outreach.
Medical services include nurses on staff, wound care, stroke care, dental access, speech, occupational, and physical therapy through Functional Pathways, plus a massage therapist, and for times when families need short breaks, respite care is available. There's always a staff caregiver on-site, and a licensed nurse is on call any time of day or night, and Certified Nursing Assistant training also takes place here. For seniors who have trouble with incontinence, reminders and assistance are part of the daily routine, and custom care plans fit individual needs.
On the property, residents find outdoor walking paths, gardens, a sunroom, safety features, game and activity rooms, a small library, a movie theater, chapel, gathering rooms, a beauty salon and barbershop with professional stylists, and an expansive clubhouse with a heated indoor pool, fitness room, spa, sauna, wellness room, computer center, Wi-Fi, and even a pet-friendly policy. Housekeeping, laundry, linen service, and maintenance take place on a regular schedule, and there's both guest and resident parking. Shannondale provides three meals per day, meal preparation for special diets, and mealtime help if needed, and residents can expect transportation services and help with making and getting to appointments.
There are daily social activities like exercise groups, bingo, arts and crafts, music programs, scheduled outings, and educational classes, plus resident-run clubs and regular community events that help people stay engaged and keep the friendships going, and for spiritual needs, there's a chapel on-site. Residents get support with both bathing and dressing, housekeeping, trash removal, laundry, and scheduled bathroom reminders, and move-in help is part of what's done for new arrivals.
The main office keeps professional standards high, with Sandra Franklin as the facility administrator, and the staff focus on offering care with compassion and preserving each person's dignity, making sure no one feels rushed or overlooked while encouraging them to enjoy the quiet, maintenance-free setting and the amenities that keep life interesting and full. Shannondale Assisted Living is part of Covenant Living Communities and Services and belongs to the group of senior living options in Blount County, Tennessee.
