How current is the state inspection of Avenir Memory Care at Knoxville?

Tennessee's ACLF rule calls for an unannounced visit within 15 months of the last one, so this date is older than the cycle. Public listings are sometimes updated late; ask the administrator for the most recent statement of deficiencies and the plan of correction that answered it.
