We went to American House West Knoxville, I did not like it there. They were remodeling so everything was ripped to shreds, and I understand that, but everything was kinda old. Their memory care was in the basement and you had to go down the elevator to the basement unit, and I didn't like that at all. They were nice, but no, it felt old. They were clean and updating everything, so that was probably a bad impression. The rooms were very small and dark. We went down to the memory care and they had a really old furniture set for a little get-together room. The receptionist and some of the people we met were very nice. They were doing some kind of drum music thing up in the assisted living, they had somebody singing and it looked like they were having a good time.

This facility has been an excellent location overall for my husband. It is quite secure. The staff provide a calm,kind,respectful,and nurturing environment for residents. They also do a good job of involving family in activities. There is a visiting NP and neurologist weekly,and PT and OT on site.

The only thing that I didn't care for is that the people with Alzheimer's are situated downstairs. They have to ride up and down the elevators. My wife had trouble walking even before she got Alzheimer's. For that reason, it wasn't very practical for us. However, this facility looks very nice. The ground is very well-landscaped and they have trees there. They also allow pets.
