Valley View Assisted Living
Valley View Assisted Living is an 80-bed assisted living community located at 101 North Maple St in Whitwell, Tennessee, operated by Whitwell Senior Living, LLC and administered by Darlene Austin Crider. Licensed since September 2002, the facility brings more than two decades of local operational continuity to the Whitwell area, serving older adults requiring assistance with daily living and respite care. Medicare and Medicaid are accepted, expanding financial accessibility for eligible residents.
The community’s care framework centers on 24-hour staffing with licensed nurses and a doctor on site, complemented by rehabilitation services and psychiatric care support. Physical spaces include private studio apartments, a community dining room, and common areas designed for social connection. Daily housekeeping, laundry, and meal services are provided, along with transportation for recreational and social outings. The facility accepts pets, and its “Happiness Enhancing Activities” program structures daily engagement around holiday events, live music, bingo, off-campus outings, community walks, and social games. Psychiatric care support and on-site rehabilitation services round out the care model.
The most recent comprehensive inspection occurred in October 2023, with no enforcement actions or administrative penalties recorded against the facility; a consistent track record of operational compliance over its 23-year tenure.
With a walk score of 35, the surrounding neighborhood is car-dependent; most destinations require transportation. The facility’s organized transportation services for recreational and social events address this constraint directly.
The combination of 24-hour nursing presence, rehabilitation access, and organized social programming fits residents who value stability alongside active engagement in a homelike environment.
Valley View Assisted Living is structured for older adults seeking a long-established, community-based assisted living setting with comprehensive daily-living support, respite capability, and psychiatric care options.
