Overview of Meadow View Senior Living Community

Meadow View Senior Living Community sits on Acuff Lane in Anderson County, just outside Clinton, Tennessee. It’s a 45-bed community offering both assisted living and memory care, run by Goodworks Unlimited LLC with Kelly Johnson Majors as executive director. The single-story layout means thre are no stairs and no elevators; it’s just one level to navigate.

Sixteen years in operation, and the numbers suggest staying power: 53 residents currently fill the building’s 45 beds, an 89 percent occupancy rate. People don’t pass through quickly either. The average length of stay runs 683 days, nearly two years, which tells you this is a place built for residents settling in long-term rather than a brief stopover. Studio, alcove, and one-bedroom layouts give some flexibility on space.

Nursing services and 24-hour staffing are confirmed, and each resident gets a personalized care plan rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Meals are chef-prepared, which matters more than it sounds once you consider the location: with a Walk Score of just 21, getting anywhere off-site means a car, so on-site transportation services fill that gap for residents and visiting family alike.

Outdoor walking paths wind through landscaped grounds, and a wellness activities program keeps the daily calendar from going stale. Pets are welcome too, no need to leave a companion animal behind.

Between the nearly two-year average stay, the round-the-clock nursing presence, and a single-story building designed for ease of movement, Meadow View reads as a community set up for residents who need steady, long-term assisted living or memory care, not a brief transition between other settings.

Several care levels are available here. Parkview Independent Living may be a good fit for a resident whose needs could grow over time without leaving the community.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Anderson County, TN

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Tennessee?

Assisted living in Tennessee supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Tennessee?

Assisted living in Tennessee is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Tennessee Medicaid cover assisted living?

Tennessee Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Tennessee) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 6 assisted living facilities in Anderson County, TN. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Anderson County, TN?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Anderson County, TN, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Anderson County, TN?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
