Alexander Guest House
Alexander Guest House offers assisted living and memory care in Oak Ridge, TN. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing and medication, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for residents living with dementia. Having both care levels can suit a resident whose needs change from daily assistance to more structured memory care support. The community has 74 beds, with private rooms and companion suites for someone who wants personal space or prefers to share with a companion.
The starting price is $3,775 per month, with all-inclusive pricing and no hidden fee, allowing families to plan around one monthly rate. Respite care gives a resident a short-term place to stay while a primary caregiver travels or recovers. Pets are allowed, so a resident can bring a pet with them. A beauty salon and barber shop provide grooming services on site, while the patio and picnic area offer outdoor space. The craft and hobby area supports creative activities, and family nights, Bible studies and wellness programs provide scheduled ways to participate in community life.
A Walk Score of 56 places the area in the somewhat walkable band, meaning some errands can be completed on foot and a resident who no longer drives may be able to reach certain destinations independently. Amy Duncan serves as the administrator, and Alexander Properties operates the community.
