Is Shannondale Assisted Living Center a big or small assisted living building by Knox County standards?
At 49 licensed beds, Shannondale Assisted Living Center ranks 30th of 33 licensed ACLFs in Knox County, one of the smaller buildings, and holds about 2% of the county's licensed assisted living beds.
Across all seven counties the middle-sized ACLF has 70 beds. Size cuts both ways: a bigger building tends to offer more activities and staff depth, a smaller one fewer handoffs and quieter halls. Ask how many residents share each aide on the day shift and at night.
How current is the state inspection of Shannondale Assisted Living Center?
The HFC listing gives June 14, 2025 as Shannondale Assisted Living Center's most recent survey, which was 16 months before this page was generated.
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.
Can Shannondale Assisted Living Center keep a resident who develops dementia?
No secured unit is reported: the October 2026 bed report shows zero secured beds at Shannondale Assisted Living Center, so a resident who begins trying to leave the building would normally move to a community with a locked unit.
Many residents with early dementia live in unsecured buildings; the trigger for a move is usually exit-seeking or a failed evacuation, not the diagnosis. The closest ACLFs reporting secured beds are Knoxville Landing in Knoxville (19 secured beds, same ZIP); American House West Knoxville in Knoxville (24 secured beds, 2.6 mi); The Village at Deane Hill in Knoxville (32 secured beds, 2.6 mi).
Is there any state enforcement on file for Shannondale Assisted Living Center?
No disciplinary action is listed: the HFC record for Shannondale Assisted Living Center shows none, and it is not named in the state's Facility Action and Abuse Reports from January 2025 onward.
Most deficiencies are corrected without any order, which is why this count can be zero even after a survey with findings. Ask for the most recent statement of deficiencies anyway.
