Recent reviews of Independent Living in Mecca, TN
River Oaks Place - Loudon
5.0

I've enjoyed all the times I've been here.

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!
