TerraBella Athens
5.0

I will recommend TerraBella Athens highly. The staff is great! The employees that are on the floors daily genuinely care about the residents. The staff not only doesn't mind family being in and out and present a great amount of the time, but encourages it!

My grandmother is a Resident here & I can not imagine a better "home" for her. The staff are like family, Nurses are the best around & very knowledgeable & attentive. It's very nicely decorated, and the food is wonderful. Lots of activities for residents with family activities planned also

The Neighborhood at Tellico Village in Loudon, TN
5.0

5 stars all the way around. We chose Tellico Village over others we saw because it just had a nice 'feel' to it?! If I was lost or unsure about anything, I always encountered someone that was willing to help or give me a hand. The residents all seemed happy too, and I felt like that was a good sign!! All staff I encountered were super helpful, professional, and kind.
