Valley View Assisted Living
Valley View Assisted Living provides assisted living in Whitwell, Tennessee, where residents can receive help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and taking medication while living in their own apartment. Short stays are available here too. Respite care can suit a family whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.
The community has 80 beds and accepts Medicaid and Medicare. Medicaid may help when a family’s savings may not cover a long stay, while Medicare generally applies to short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence. Darlene Austin Crider serves as administrator, and Whitwell Senior Living operates the community.
Private studio apartments provide one private living space, and wheelchair accessible rooms support residents who use mobility equipment. Rehabilitation services and a doctor on staff give residents access to those services through the community. These arrangements may be a good fit for someone who needs help with personal care, medication, or mobility while continuing to live in a private apartment.
Transportation is available for recreational and social events, while scheduled activities include live music, bingo, community walks, and games. Pets are allowed. A Walk Score of 35 places the area in a car dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride.
