Recent reviews of Memory Care in Bristol, TN
The Blake at Kingsport
5.0

The staff is very helpful and friendly. They are very good about communicating with the family about your loved one, and you can call and ask about them any time. The move-in process is smooth, but be ready to produce documents like Medicaid info, living will, driver's license, etc. The meals are very good. I would highly recommend The Blake at Kingsport to others.

Christian Assisted Living of Johnson City
4.1

The staff at Christian Assisted Living of Johnson City have shown solid follow through on open issues and good medical supervision. I would recommend it to other families.

The Village At Allandale in Kingsport, TN
5.0

It's a very nice place for someone with dementia, which my aunt had. My uncle died within a week of arriving there and my aunt fell about 2 months later and fractured her hip, so she left there and passed away in a rehab facility post surgery. I really appreciated A Place for Mom's help in finding a place.
