Sherrill Hills Retirement Resort in Knoxville, TN operates as an independent living community and does not maintain a dedicated dementia or memory care program. Residents remain largely self-reliant, yet on-site access to hospice services, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and podiatry helps manage both chronic and episodic health needs without leaving the property.
Staff can step in with targeted support for daily routines when residents request it. Assistance is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting on a self-care basis, meaning help is offered while encouraging personal independence. Team members also aid with transfers for individuals who rely on a walker or wheelchair, promoting safety when moving between bed, chair, or vehicle.
Apartments vary in layout, but many include private bathrooms, individual climate controls, and in-unit laundry machines. Housekeeping and routine maintenance are handled by staff, allowing residents to focus on personal interests rather than chores. Because features differ from one unit to another, confirming specific details during a tour is recommended.
Dining follows an on-order model: residents select meals from a menu at each sitting rather than adhering to a fixed rotation. This arrangement supports personal taste preferences, dietary modifications, and flexible mealtimes.
The property offers resident parking, full wheelchair accessibility, an on-site barber and beauty shop, concierge services, and scheduled transportation for errands and appointments. Pets are allowed; it's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
