Dominion Senior Living of Sevierville delivers dedicated memory care supported by short-term respite stays. Residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia receive individualized programming in spaces that are designed specifically to accommodate memory loss. Diabetes management, medication management, and incontinence care are available, and residents may work with on-site nurses, a visiting doctor, occupational and physical therapists, a speech therapist, and a podiatrist. Hospice services can be arranged when needed, allowing individuals to remain in familiar surroundings even as care needs change.
A secured community layout, an emergency call system, and team members who are present around the clock provide continual oversight. The campus functions as a memory-care-only setting, so every staff member is trained to read behavioral cues and to redirect or calm residents when necessary. Ambulatory support helps those who need assistance walking, and respite guests have access to the same safety measures and clinical services as full-time residents. Laundry and dry-cleaning services are handled by the community, allowing families to concentrate on their loved one’s health and engagement.
Private and companion apartments are available, and each residence includes basic utilities and housekeeping. Some floor plans add wheelchair-accessible showers, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, or views of the landscaped grounds. Common areas such as the central fireplace, piano room, outdoor gardens, and multiple sitting areas give residents places to socialize or relax. The community is pet friendly, but not all units can accommodate animals or every feature listed, so it is best to ask about specific layouts during a visit.
Meals are cooked on site and served three times a day with guest meals offered upon request. The culinary staff can prepare vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, low-sodium, no-sugar, and fortified options, and an all-day dining program lets residents eat on their own schedule. Family-style service encourages social interaction, while occasional barbecues and picnics take advantage of the outdoor areas.
Residents can spend free time in the activity center, game room, library and computer lounge, or swimming pool. A full-time activity director organizes social outings, day trips, community service projects, and clubs. Health and wellness initiatives include indoor and outdoor walking paths, live-well classes, and light-therapy programs to help regulate sleep patterns.
