Overview of Morning Pointe of Athens Assisted Living

Facebook Instagram LinkedIn TikTok

Morning Pointe of Athens Assisted Living offers assisted living and memory care in Athens, Tennessee. Assisted living includes help with personal grooming and transferring, while memory care provides a supervised setting for a resident living with dementia. Having both care levels in one community may suit someone whose support needs could grow over time without requiring a move elsewhere.

There are 56 beds, creating a smaller setting where staff and residents can get to know one another. Housing includes studios, alcoves, one bedroom residences and two bedroom residences. The two bedroom option may suit a couple or someone who wants a companion. Respite care is also available for a short stay when a usual caregiver needs time away or recovery.

Meals are made from scratch with fresh, seasonal and local ingredients and served with full table service. The dining program accommodates diets with no added salt and reduced concentrated sweets. Residents can join exercise, creative, sensory, lifelong learning and cognitive programs, along with organized group outings supported by transportation.

Pets are allowed, and caregiver support groups give families a structured setting for support related to caregiving. Licensed nurses oversee health, wellness and medication management, with licensed clinical or care staff available around the clock. Crystal Michelle Sutton is the administrator, and Athens Senior Community operates the community.
