South High Senior Living is a 74-bed senior living community in Knoxville, Tennessee, offering assisted living and memory care. Operated by South High LLC, the community occupies the thoughtfully restored former South High School building, blending historic architecture with updated amenities and modern residential features. The community has also earned recognition from Knoxville News Sentinel readers as a Top Assisted/Senior Living Community, reflecting positive local visibility and resident satisfaction.
The community offers three primary care options: assisted living, memory care, and short-term respite stays, supported by staff members who are available around the clock to provide support and oversight. Healthcare support extends beyond standard assisted living services through partnerships with HouseCall Primary Care, which provides on-site primary care, podiatry, and mental health services. This arrangement can reduce the need for residents to travel for routine appointments and ongoing healthcare management.
A broad selection of amenities and wellness-focused services is provided, including restaurant-style dining, studio accommodations, enclosed outdoor courtyards, pet-friendly living options, outpatient therapy services, wellness classes, emergency response systems, scheduled transportation, and an active calendar of events and activities.
South High Senior Living appeals to older adults seeking a locally owned community that combines assisted living and memory care services within one campus environment. Its range of care options, community-oriented atmosphere, and historically distinctive setting are especially attractive for couples or older adults whose care needs could evolve.
