The Courtyards Senior Living

The Courtyards Senior Living sits in quiet neighborhoods like Fountain City in Knoxville, Briarcliff Avenue and Emory Valley Road in Oak Ridge, and has homes in Johnson City too, and it offers small homes with only 18 to 25 rooms each, so you don't feel lost in a crowd, and families know that means more personal care, and each building handles either Assisted Living or Memory Care, so needs don't get mixed up, and folks like that there are private outdoor spaces, porches, gardens, and patios where you can sit, enjoy fresh air, maybe have a chat with a friend or birdwatch. The place keeps things easy for seniors with things like walk-in showers with grab bars, wooden gazebos, elevators, and pets around, and rooms have Wi-Fi and handy furniture, and there's a piano and comfy common areas with fireplaces and built-in bookshelves, so there's always a spot to read a book or join a group for games or music, and they keep the meals nutritious and tasty, with dining areas full of round tables, wooden chairs, and even floral centerpieces, giving it a homey feeling while you look outside at the grounds. The Courtyards split their Assisted Living, Assisted Living Plus, and Memory Care into separate spaces with buildings in each location, and memory care sections like The Lantern at Morning Pointe Alzheimer's Center of Excellence have clear layouts to help residents with confusion, making it easier to move around safely, and trained staff stay on every hour of the day keeping an eye on needs, helping with medicine, housework, meals, bathing, dressing, and even laundry, and there's always someone to ask for help or just have a talk. They have a concierge, transportation when you need to go out, and a beautician who comes in, and if you want spiritual support or to attend activities in town, they'll help with that, and there's a strong focus on keeping life engaging through onsite gardening, games, group activities, and offsite trips so folks stay social, active, and happy. Residents have different needs, so care gets tailored, whether that's medication help, counseling, respite stays for a few days, or care for those who need support with memory or regular tasks, and the small community setup lets staff get to know each resident, helping everyone feel like they belong, and with awards for kindness and care, and a culture focused on dignity, respect, and happiness, the Courtyards have built a reputation for being both reliable and welcoming, aiming to give each resident a real home atmosphere in an elegant but friendly setting.
