10 Best Nursing Homes in Mountain City, TN

I am so glad I found and chose Oakmont at Gordon Park for my Mom. First off they went way above the norm to admit my Mom in record time. We were surprised with Mom being discharged from the hospital before we were prepared. I called [Removed] at 2:30, toured the facility a little after 3:00. Mom was admitted and in her room around 7:30. Wow. Mom was put on hospice within a week of admittance, so I cannot speak about the activities and such, however I did hear daily the staff encouraging residents in the nearby rooms to come and participate. Each and every one of the staff showed genuine interest in my Mom with most of them treating her like their own family. Each one took the time to speak to Mom, ask how she was doing, and ask if she needed anything additional. She received more hugs and complements and real empathy than I could have asked for. We were all treated as family. The only negative I can report on is that like most places, there seemed to never be enough hands on board. Given that this is a new facility, i feel they have room to work on this. My opinion is that the CNA's are spread too thin with tasks that maybe could be handled by non skilled personnel, such as carrying water to the rooms (and encouraging the residents to drink), delivering meals to rooms, serving meals, after meal cleanup and laundry. However this may not be permitted by law. I would not hesitate to recommend Oakmont nor would I hesitate to place Dad there if the time comes.

I will start by saying there were only 2 negatives. However, the positive experience did outweigh the negative, so in the last survey question I gave a rating of 5 (being best) still would hold true. My negatives were the deposit, which was a whole months rent along with processing fee up front, on top of the partial month's rent. That was almost a $14k deal breaker. I felt this was extremely excessive to walk him in the door, in my opinion. Overall, the individuals working at Deerfield Ridge were compassionate and caring. The accommodations were clean and well kept. The linens were washed daily. Along with Hospice Care checking in frequently and my daily visits, the experience was the best I could have possibly hoped for.

We loved Dominion! It felt homey it smelt good not like a nursing home it was nicely decorated the grounds were well maintained and it felt secure . The nurses and aids genuinely care for the residents, they make the holidays special for the residents and their families they can keep them engaged in fun daily activities and field trips
