Overview of The Pointe at Lifespring

Facebook

The Pointe at Lifespring provides assisted living and memory care in Knoxville, TN. Assisted living offers help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing and medication while a resident keeps a private living space, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. With both care levels available, the community may be a good fit for a resident whose needs may grow over time and who could remain in the community as care changes.

The community has 94 beds and offers studio, suite, one-bedroom and two-bedroom residences. A two-bedroom residence can suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion, and pets are allowed for residents who want to bring a pet when moving in.

Rebecca Scott Mills serves as the administrator, and Meridian Knoxville OE operates the community.
