Excellent Affordable Assisted Living

We place my mother-in-law in this faciltiy about 2 years ago. It was a great fit, it is small facitly with about 24 residents which had a home like feel. She had many good friends she made there. She was a vegetarian and they went out of their way to accomodate her. The manager and staff were amazing, they really show personal compassion and went beyond the call of duty. It isn't the Taj Mahal but was clean and nice. They kept the residents busy with games, music, town trips, ect. I would highly recommend this if this is the type of enviroment is what you are looking for and you will not find one less expensive. Very affordable pricing for self-pay situation.

Overall great facility for lower budgets

My Mom has their smallest room, but it's adequate. She likes the food, and the staff takes very good care of her. Regular activities are available and seem to be enjoyable. It always feels clean, but I do wish they kept her room a little neater. Laundry is usually not neatly folded and put away.

Great choice for our family

Very happy with the facility. My Mom loves the food and has made friends. In-house prescription service is extremely expensive. Other than that very reasonably priced.

Southern Oaks

I had to continually monitor whether my mom was being bathed. Many times I had to remind them . The lady that bathed her was very unfriendly and rough. It seemed she was always bothered if my mom needed help. I don't understand that because that is why she was there. The activity lady was awesome and very friendly. She is the chief attraction.

Awesome staff

The staff is genuinely caring and concerned for the residents! It gives family members a piece of mind, knowing their loved ones are being well taken care of. The activity director is very lively and engaging… They provide flower arrangements for each of the residents due to donated flowers from various places around Chattanooga.

Our families experience

My mother seems happy there. That matters most. She'd let us know if anything wasn't right. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend Southern Oaks Assisted Living community to other families who may need a place for their loved ones.

I go to see my brother everyday at different times of day and nobody knows if or when I'm coming and everything is always great and my brother is happy there and tells me he's happy to be there and that they are nice and helpful and the food is really good. It is always clean an neat. I don't know what else I could say about it.

A positive experience

Very pleased and the activities have really improved since [name removed] has been hired. She is very motivating and encouraging to the residents. Very energetic and fun. Mom eats better there she likes their food and it takes her a while to eat since she has teeth issues. And they have lots of her favorite foods she likes and easy for to eat. When holidays and birthdays are here they have always decorated since she has been there and had menus to match their holidays. So relieved to know she is getting her medicine on time daily as well. Excellent value for the price! Staff very sweet and helpful. Mom's room is the smallest but very suitable for her. Trash taken out daily and room cleaned as well as the entire facility on a regular basis. We are very happy she is pleased with being there and seems to enjoy more everyday!

We liked the homey feeling this community had, because it is a smaller facility. The also have a low turnover rate of their staff members. The rooms they provide are tidy, and we definitely would recommend this community.

Souther Oaks is a great place for your loved one

Southern Oaks is the idea place for my mother, While it is on the small side, it provides a lot of individual attention and has a very warm and friendly culture to it. If you are looking for a homey, friendly and caring place for your loved one, then I would highly recommend Southern Oaks.

To expensive

They are very nice but beware the pharmacy they use are very expensive. Pharmacy bill of about $70 to $90 every 90 days went to $150 to $300 every 30 days. Some of the residents need help when ordering things and when the resident orders the price is outrages. They have to remember that these people is on a fixed income. They should check with the family members that are paying the bill before they order. Makes me feel that they are taking advantage of the elderly.

I had a good experience during my tour of this community. It is a nice facility with kind people. The community appeared to be well maintained from what I saw. The staff I met was nice, and helpful. Unfortunately they were able to accept him into their community at the time, but I did find another community that suited our needs.

This was a perfect visit. My mother came with me. When we walked in the front door, we were greeted by two sweet ladies in the parlor. They directed us to a staff member. While we were in the office a resident came in & began talking with my mother, telling about her experience at Southern Oaks. Marilyn, our tour guide, was so helpful & informative. My mother was pleased to know that there were ladies of her faith living there. Also a vegan diet. The small homelike atmosphere made my mother comfortable.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and 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 you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Tennessee regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Tennessee regulations for Assisted Living.
