Overview of American House Shallowford

American House Shallowford in Chattanooga, TN, offers four types of care. These include independent living, respite care, memory care, and assisted living. Individuals opting for independent living have their own residence and access to community services, but daily care is not included. An individual in assisted living receives help from staff for daily tasks such as bathing, taking medication, and getting dressed, all while maintaining a private apartment. In areas where wandering may occur, memory care involves supervision and a secured environment. Respite care, on the other hand, allows a family caregiver to travel or recover while the resident is cared for temporarily.

All levels are within the same building, allowing for transitions to different ones as requirements expand without the need to relocate. The structure contains 113 beds. Tommie Westfield serves as the administrator, while the operator is EC Opco Shallowford, LLC.

With a Walk Score of 38, running errands typically involves driving. A garden is available for residents, and pets are allowed to stay with them.

That combination of four levels could suit someone seeking private living at the moment, or someone requiring daily assistance. It may also suit someone whose wandering is a concern, or someone requiring just a short stay while the family caregiver is absent. Transportation is available, and the community is wheelchair accessible.
