7 Nursing Homes Communities in Chattanooga, Tennessee

I visited Creekside at Shallowford. It was a little bit more of independent than my dad could have. We would have had to hire outside nurses and everything. I liked the part where the family could come and go, because he would have to be in an apartment on his own, and I really like one of the rooms that we looked at. I really liked it. The man, Michael, was really nice and he explained the facility to me. He has followed up and checked on my dad as well. I liked this one room that was on the second floor. It had a view of the outside and had a little porch he could go out on if he wanted. It looked like they had a lot of good activities that the people could participate in. It was pretty ideal. I liked the location, too. It was like back, past the main road, and it was kind of back in a near wooded area. It had a pretty view. The staff that I met was friendly. Everything seemed good. It was fairly new and updated. They also provided rides to different places for the people that rented there.

My parents are in Creekside at Shallowford. It is beautiful and wonderful. This place is fabulous. It is friendly, warm, and welcoming. My mother absolutely loves it. She has gone from being reclusive to getting out and making friends. She is enjoying the meals too. My stepdad would not get out and do anything, but now he is out and participating in football parties and enjoying the music. The difference is night and day. It is wonderful. The staff members are great. They are warm, welcoming, and very attentive. They clean the room, they take all the towels, wash the clothes and sheets, they sweep and mop the floor, and they clean the bathroom and the kitchen. The dining area is beautiful. Between every meal they keep it formally set. They do their major meal at lunch and then they have a lighter meal at supper, which is usually advantageous for elderly people. They have a master chef on staff, so the meals are very good. I would give it the highest score possible.

My aunt moved into Creekside at Shallowford, and I really love the place. They have activities every hour, they have puzzles all over the place, exercise classes that she likes, and I think it's so nice that she has things to do. The people that were working there seem to be happy. We like the food and I think it's pretty good. I liked that they had a place for people to go walking, it was shaded and there were lots of flowers and places for people to sit around and talk.

I moved into Creekside at Shallowford a month ago. It's a good place, everything is well-organized, and we're not really hurting for anything. The staff is very good, and they're like one of us. I have a one-bedroom apartment, washers and dryers are available, they have something for us to do every day, and the food is really good. Once a week we have a Christian service, and there's an exercise room.

The person who took us on the tour at Creekside at Shallowford was great. He sat down and talked to us, gave us information, took us around and showed us the facilities that were there and what were available for us. I was very pleased. The rooms were more like a one room and one bathroom. They had rehabilitation that they could go to if needed, and doctors that would come to see them. They have transportation there for them if they want to go to stores. The place was very well kept up and well maintained.
