Overview of Emory Mills Senior Living

Emory Mills Senior Living, located at 1503 East Emory Road in Knoxville, Tennessee, is a family-owned assisted living and memory care community with capacity for up to 107 residents. Operatively managed by Emory Properties, LLC, and directed by administrator Paul Sorey, the community features chef-prepared meals, daily housekeeping, laundry assistance, structured fitness classes, and specialized therapy rooms for physical, occupational, and speech therapy.

Dementia and memory care services are designed around the Hearthstone Institute’s “I’m Still Here” philosophy, focusing on retaining cognitive abilities and highlighting personal histories. The organization also coordinates flexible, non-residential assistance through an integrated program called Emory Care at Home.

The local Knoxville neighborhood is car-dependent, meaning visiting families and residents rely on vehicles for standard medical appointments, local travel, and everyday errands.

Families and prospective representatives exploring local care solutions in Knox County can reach the administrative office to check on current room openings.
