Recent reviews of Independent Living in Hamilton County, TN
Ascension Living Alexian Village - Tennessee (Independent Living) in Signal Mountain, TN
4.6

I have lived here for 11 years and am very happy with my choice. My children do not have to find a nursing home for me when I need one. I have already made that choice myself. When I need to go to a place to live with a higher level of care, that is available without a major move. Maintenance of the facility is improving.

American House Hamilton Place in Chattanooga, TN
3.6

We have been impressed by the care of the staff. They really just "love my mother" and let her know! The place is small enough that one does not feel as if one is in an institution. Any time there is a concern, we can call or stop by and talk to admin., who are very quick to address the issue. All of the staff do all of the work. I've seen the Executive Director, and the head of Nursing, serving meals and cleaning up!

I just don’t think you are going to find a better place for your loved one than Avail Senior Living of Cleveland, Tennessee. My father and now his older sister are living side by side and receiving excellent care, good food, and new friendships. It’s a beautiful place owned and operated by beautiful souls!
