Ascension Living Alexian Village in Signal Mountain, Tennessee, offers independent living alongside other levels of care like assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing, so folks can age in place as their needs change, and you'll notice the community sits on a scenic area overlooking Chattanooga with nice views, walking paths, and pretty grounds. The place has a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments; each comes with private bathrooms and patios or balconies, and some face lovely natural views, and the apartments are unfurnished so people can bring their own things. There's a buy-in model where residents invest based on their apartment, and the monthly fee covers most utilities except phone, with property management and housekeeping including laundry on each floor to keep things easy, and maintenance isn't a worry anymore.
Residents have plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces to use like a pool, a fitness center, a courtyard, and a residents' lounge, plus there's a library and free Wi-Fi for everyone, and cable or satellite TV comes included, so it's comfortable and simple. Meal options come from restaurant-style dining rooms, where chefs and meal planners make sure the food's nutritious and enjoyable, and staff can help with medication and other health needs, with 24/7 nurse coverage for peace of mind. The campus also offers transportation for errands, shopping, and trips to the pharmacy, while housekeeping and flat linen services cut down on daily chores; if someone needs more help, assisted living and memory care are available, alongside therapies like physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy for those who need them.
Activities and programs keep the days full, with faith-based worship, meditation, fitness, social outings, and educational events giving folks many choices, and people with memory loss or dementia can get extra help and a secure environment with specially trained caregivers focusing on dignity and safety. There are adult day programs, retreat stays, and short-term rehab for extra support, plus long-term medical management for ongoing needs, all tied together under Ascension Living's Catholic-inspired mission, so people's minds, bodies, and spirits get respectful care and attention. Staff are known for being kind, helpful, and always available, aiming to keep a friendly, home-like feeling, and the community earned the Best of Senior Living All Star award for strong resident and family satisfaction.
