The Pointe at Lifespring in Knoxville, TN offers two primary levels of support: Assisted Living | Memory Care. Residents in assisted living receive help with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, toileting, and mobility, with licensed nurses overseeing individualized care plans and monitoring vital signs. The community’s memory care neighborhood is designed for people living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, providing structured routines, secure environments, and staff members trained in dementia-specific techniques. On-site nursing staff coordinate closely with local physicians, arranging laboratory work, imaging, and other medical services as needed, while scheduled transportation is available for outside appointments.
Beyond direct medical oversight, the community incorporates a range of supportive services to help residents maintain their highest level of independence. Caregivers are on duty 24 hours a day, managing medication administration, glucose monitoring, and continence programs. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy can be arranged on-site, and an emergency call system links each apartment to staff for rapid response. Regular wellness assessments, fall-prevention programs, and exercise classes further contribute to residents’ health and safety.
Accommodation options include studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments as well as companion suites. Units may feature kitchenettes, walk-in showers with grab bars, individual climate controls, and ample closet space; however, not all accommodations have all the features. Weekly housekeeping and linen service are provided, and maintenance staff handle repairs. Utilities such as electricity, water, basic cable, and Wi-Fi are included in the monthly rate, and residents can furnish and decorate their apartments to their preferences.
Dining is offered three times daily in a restaurant-style setting, with menus developed by a registered dietitian to accommodate varying nutritional needs and physician-ordered diets. Pureed, low-sugar, low-sodium, and heart-healthy selections are available upon request, and snacks are accessible throughout the day. Staff members assist residents who need help cutting food or who follow specialized swallowing precautions. Family members are welcome to join meals for a nominal fee, and seasonal celebrations often include themed dishes prepared from locally sourced ingredients.
