Knoxville Senior AdvisorHow many memory care options are in Knoxville and Knox County?
23 licensed buildings in Knox County report secured or Alzheimer's beds, 814 in all, and 6 of them are licensed entirely as secured memory care residences.
Is a stand-alone memory care building better than a secured wing?
Neither is better by rule; a stand-alone building is designed entirely around dementia care, while a secured wing in a larger ACLF lets a couple live on one campus or a resident move without changing communities.
Both must meet the same Tennessee secured-unit requirements. Ask either kind how many staff are on the unit overnight and how it handles a resident whose needs exceed what it can provide.
