Perfect fit for dad
They are great! My Dad has excellent care and he is happy there. They are also great to work with when we visit. Recently my Dad had his 90th Birthday and they worked out an area for the whole family of 20-plus to have dinner and a celebration with him.

I recently had the opportunity to visit Spring Arbor of Bristol, and I was very impressed. The facility was clean, welcoming, and well maintained. The staff were friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. They took the time to answer questions and made everyone feel comfortable and respected. The residents appeared happy, engaged, and well cared for, which says a lot about the quality of care provided. The atmosphere felt warm and inviting, more like a home than a facility. I would feel confident recommending Spring Arbor of Bristol to anyone looking for a safe, compassionate, and supportive place for my mother.

She has been there a year now and nothing but great things to say about dominion. Facility stays clean and the staff treat us like family. I do recommend. The staff always calls when anything happens that could be a concern.

All of them would be a five - I really wish she had been there the entire time she lived in memory care. The facility was very homelike compared to others - not a sterile environment. Comfortable community areas, and the outdoor area is so nice - various places in and out of shade, secured, and manicured area. Also they have really good food cooked there. Attentive and sweet staff; they know the residents well and are kind. My mom often said she liked living there.

I like that its a locked unit and has small resident population of ~40 or residents. Its very convenient and has a very homey feel to it. The staff are super friendly, they take residents on outings and do fun activities, they have family celebrations for the holidays, and the food is good for a facility.

We loved Dominion! It felt homey it smelt good not like a nursing home it was nicely decorated the grounds were well maintained and it felt secure . The nurses and aids genuinely care for the residents, they make the holidays special for the residents and their families they can keep them engaged in fun daily activities and field trips

Dominion Senior Living of Bristol is a very clean, convenient facility. They seem to be short staffed as most, if not all, other LTC facilities are these days. However, the staff that is there seem to really get to know and care about the residents. [names removed] are wonderful to work with!! They're always having special events, outings, and activities for the residents. I'm pleased with how much better my mother is doing since being at Dominion. The facility, [name removed] in Knoxville, was horrible so this place has been the best thing for my mother. I always see family and friends visiting residents which is another good thing for the entire community.

My aunt died after being there 1 month. I believe Dominion is directly responsible for her death. Nursing care services were not good. She had multiple falls and UTI's while there. She became septic. They were not providing adequate care. It was a heartbreaking experience.

I have mixed feelings about Dominion. I think they were a very good facility in a lot of ways. It had all the bells and whistles and looked pretty. The people were very nice and welcoming. The staff seemed to genuinely care. But my love done was only there a month, during which time she had four major falls, a broken clavicle, repeated UTIs, the last of which resulted in sepsis and her subsequent death. When I would address them not cleaning her properly, they told me that patients have rights and they can't force them to take a bath. I feel like their actions contributed to her death. Multiple times when she went to the hospital, they sent the wrong resident's medical records, and the hospital had to call them to obtain the correct records (which was concerning because of her penicillin allergy). Dominion was was very kind to her and good to her otherwise. The aides told me how much they liked her and wanted to help her. They always answered my calls. But their nursing care and hygiene care was not as good as it should have been. They repeatedly told me they were not a skilled nursing facility. But basic hygiene of changing Depends and helping with showers is basic care.

We went with Dominion Senior Living because they demonstrate a genuine care and concern for people similarly situated. We visited during critical times, meal time, early evening when those with memory issues tend to have more challenges, etc. There was a lot of care and concern displayed. They treat all of the residents here with the utmost respect. The size is the facility is smaller which gives them the opportunity to provide specialized care. Financially, the all inclusive pay was something that we preferred because we know exactly the amount we will be paying each month. The facility itself is more modern and has wide hallways, tall ceilings, and a lot of windows which was also important for us.

Our family had an in person tour and it was a very nice place, but a little smaller. Everything in appearance looked really good. However we did do some homework ourselves and it did seem to have some issues. Also location is one of the biggest things for our and they were just a little to far away.

My husband became a resident on 2/14/19. He was in a wheelchair, scared of other residents and combative; 4 months later, he is walking, enjoys the other residents and staff. He is happy, laughs a lot and it is all because of the loving care he receives from the staff. Thank you so much for such a loving community.

The reason I chose this community was that it has Alzheimer’s care, dementia care, on lock down (for safety reasons) and Christian based. Everything here has been wonderful and very very nice. I do have to take my Mother out of the community soon because her condition is improving but, if I have to put her back into a facility, I would bring her back here. The staff is very kind, helpful, patient, and lovely. [Removed] are the directors and they have been wonderful to work with. I like that the staff has a good attitude. The community offers activities like live music, arts/crafts, and even painting. They even had a local artist come in and do a painting class. The artist showed them how to do the painting while still allowing them to paint on their own. The food is wonderful and nutritious. I like that the chef is accommodating in getting my Mother her food early if she has a doctor’s appointment during lunch. The rooms are cleaned and the staff has people to do laundry. But, the rooms are unfurnished and I have to buy everything my mom needs including toilet paper. The only thing that I am not happy with is that the facility has a contract with a business that supplies the medication. I cannot fill her prescriptions anywhere else. When my mom fell and broke her arm, we took her to the hospital and got a prescription for pain medication. Since we couldn’t fill it anywhere else, there was an 8-hour gap for her medication and I couldn’t do anything for her. I would recommend this community. They are a solid choice.

The care at this community is wonderful. I like the staff and they keep me informed on any changes she may be going thru. The community is clean and she likes the environment. I have had meals here with her and the variety is good and healthy. The staff offers her a lot of good activities that she is enjoying. We would recommend this community for the care and value to other families.

The facility is brand new so it is just about to open. There are only three prices based on room type and all assume fullest level of care. There are no kitchen facilities in the rooms. There is a nursing station. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Beautiful commons and dining rooms.

Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Tennessee’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.
Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.
Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
