How large is Morning Pointe of Hardin Valley compared with other assisted living in Knox County?

At 83 licensed beds, Morning Pointe of Hardin Valley ranks 10th of 33 licensed ACLFs in Knox County, one of the larger buildings, and holds about 3% of the county's licensed assisted living beds.

What is the latest HFC survey date for Morning Pointe of Hardin Valley?

State surveyors' latest visit on record at Morning Pointe of Hardin Valley is dated February 10, 2022, roughly 56 months back.

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.

Among all 57 licensed ACLFs in the seven counties, the median listed survey is 38 months old.

Does Morning Pointe of Hardin Valley offer locked memory care?

Yes. The October 2026 bed report credits Morning Pointe of Hardin Valley with 20 secured beds within its 83-bed license; Tennessee treats a secured unit as a distinct area where residents are deliberately kept from leaving except as fire safety requires.

Because the unit is locked, the state adds safeguards: a three-person admission evaluation (physician, registered nurse and a family member or advocate), quarterly reviews, a daily staffing record and a round-the-clock awake attendant on the unit itself. Read the full secured-unit rules.

Has Morning Pointe of Hardin Valley paid state penalties?

The state shows a clean enforcement record for Morning Pointe of Hardin Valley: zero actions on the HFC listing and no mention in the Facility Action and Abuse Reports checked back to January 2025.

An empty enforcement column only means no penalty order was issued. Routine survey citations are fixed through plans of correction and never show up here, so the survey report is still the document to read.
