Southern Heritage Assisted Living

Overview of Southern Heritage Assisted Living

Southern Heritage Assisted Living is an independent living community in East Ridge, Tennessee. Residents have private studio apartment suites and use community services without daily care. The home may suit a senior who wants independent living alongside scheduled activities and regular opportunities to socialize.

Residents can have salon, barber, and spa services on site, without leaving the community for those grooming and spa needs. Well landscaped courtyards and walking trails offer places to spend time outdoors. Shared spaces support a library, social events, clubs, game nights, exercise programs, wellness programs, and religious activities, giving residents several organized ways to take part.

On site chefs prepare two meals each day, so prepared food is available as part of community living. Housekeeping and laundry are also available for routine household needs. The setting is car dependent, with a Walk Score of 41, so most errands require a car or a ride.

The community is in a one story building, and each resident has a private apartment suite.
