Overview of Avenir Memory Care at Knoxville

Avenir Memory Care at Knoxville is a specialized memory care community in Farragut, Tennessee, that focuses on caring for older adults living with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and other forms of cognitive impairment. Operated by Anthem Knoxville Management, LLC since 2013, the community is part of the Anthem Memory Care network. With a 62-bed capacity, the community has specially trained nurses available around the clock.

The Pathways of Purpose program emphasizes meaningful daily experiences, focusing on retained abilities, familiar routines, and purposeful activities rather than limitations associated with memory loss. Additionally, secure private accommodations are offered, along with three daily meals, housekeeping, laundry, physician visits, rehabilitation therapies, and diagnostic coordination. Short-term respite stays are also available for families needing temporary care support or transitional placement.

Located near the center of Farragut, the community provides convenient access to retail services, healthcare resources, and the broader Knoxville area. Tennova Hospital West is also a short drive away, offering proximity to regional medical care providers and specialists.

The community has completed its most recent inspection in April 2023, under the oversight of the Tennessee Department of Health, Division of Health Care Facilities, which conducts unannounced inspections and investigations.

Providing a specialized dementia-focused design, neighborhood-based care model, and secure residential setting, Avenir Memory Care at Knoxville is well-suited for families seeking a dedicated memory care environment rather than a mixed assisted living campus within the Farragut and Knoxville area.
