Overview of Rain Forest Landings

A 62-bed assisted living community administered by Nicole McCrory serving Knoxville residents needing support with daily living is Rain Forest Landings. Operating for 14 years, it’s operated by Landings Operator, LLC, and maintains strong occupancy at 95 percent.

The home delivers three care types: assisted living, memory care, and respite care. It’s part of the Inspirit senior living network and is Windsor Ridge Assisted Living’s sister community, bringing a shared commitment to supporting resident independence and wellness. The memory care program is tailored to serve residents navigating cognitive decline and memory loss. Found in the Truewood by Merrill neighborhood on Rain Forest Road, the car-dependent community sits where almost all errands need a vehicle. This setting suits residents and families who don’t need an urban or highly walkable location.

Inspection records from the Tennessee Department of Health show the community has maintained compliance well below the state average citations, indicating consistent adherence to regulatory standards over the years.

The facility is reachable for inquiries surrounding available rooms, services, and admission.
