Is River Oaks Place a big or small assisted living building by Loudon County standards?
At 35 licensed beds, River Oaks Place ranks 6th of 6 licensed ACLFs in Loudon County, one of the smaller buildings, and holds about 10% of the county's licensed assisted living beds.
The typical licensed ACLF in the Knoxville region has 70 beds. Families who want a small, household-style setting should also look at homes for the aged, while those who want an on-site salon, chapel and busy calendar usually end up in the larger buildings.
What is the latest HFC survey date for River Oaks Place?
State surveyors' latest visit on record at River Oaks Place is dated June 18, 2025, roughly 16 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.
For comparison, half of the region's 57 ACLFs show a listed survey more than 38 months old.
Is there a secured unit for wandering residents at River Oaks Place?
Yes. The October 2026 bed report credits River Oaks Place with 13 secured beds within its 35-bed license; Tennessee treats a secured unit as a distinct area where residents are deliberately kept from leaving except as fire safety requires.
A Tennessee secured unit has to keep an attendant awake and on the unit 24 hours a day, document a daily staffing pattern, re-evaluate every placement quarterly and train every unit worker on dementia care each year. Read the full secured-unit rules.
Is there any state enforcement on file for River Oaks Place?
The state shows a clean enforcement record for River Oaks Place: zero actions on the HFC listing and no mention in the Facility Action and Abuse Reports checked back to January 2025.
Penalty orders are kept for serious or repeated problems. Ordinary findings stay in the survey file, so request the latest one before you sign anything.

What should we confirm with River Oaks Place before signing?
Bring the record with you. To start, the listed survey is 16 months old: ask for the newest statement of deficiencies and its plan of correction.
- Find out whether pills are passed by nurses or by certified medication aides, and who checks their work.
- Ask how quickly a call button is answered at 3 a.m., and how the building measures it.
- Ask to see the secured unit's daily staffing record and the date of each resident's last quarterly review.
- Ask whether a resident who runs out of savings could stay under TennCare CHOICES, and at what room-and-board rate.
- Ask for the fee schedule in writing; the rule requires 30 days' notice to residents before fees change.
