Overview of Renaissance Terrace

Renaissance Terrace has been part of Knoxville’s senior care landscape for 55 years now, a long run by any standard in this field. The 50-bed nursing home sits on Bearden Pl in a genuinely walkable stretch of the city. A Walk Score of 74 means most errands, a pharmacy trip, a coffee, whatever, don’t require a car at all.

Beyond nursing home care, Renaissance Terrace also covers assisted living, independent living, and memory care, so the building serves a fairly wide range of needs under one roof. It’s a mid-rise with private rooms, which matters if privacy is high on your list. The resident mix here leans toward both ends of the care spectrum: short-term rehab stays after a hospital visit, and long-term residents settling in for the long haul. The average length of stay runs 462 days, well past a year, which tells you long-term care is doing a lot of the work here.

On staffing, nurse aides provide the bulk of hands-on care, clocking in at 2 hours and 7 minutes per resident each day. Add in RN and LPN time, and total nursing care lands around 2 hours and 49 minutes per resident per day. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted, which opens up more than one path for families figuring out how to pay for this.

Pets are welcome here, and residents have access to transportation services and a fitness and recreation program, both useful in a location that’s otherwise easy to get around on foot anyway. Senior Citizens Home Assistance Service runs the building, with Katelyn Bray as administrator and Tim Howell as CEO. Taken together, the decades of operation, the long average stay, and the four-care-type range point to a facility built for residents who need somewhere stable to land, not just pass through.
