Assisted living in Knoxville, TN

These are the 30 licensed assisted-living and memory-care communities in Knoxville, Tennessee. Unlike nursing homes, assisted living has no federal or state star rating — so, to stay honest, we do not rank them and we do not invent a score. We list every community alphabetically, show what Tennessee licenses it for, and show its state inspection record where the state publishes one — saying so plainly where it doesn’t, because no record is not a clean record. No community pays to appear here.

Insights

How to read this: Tennessee publishes a per-community inspection record, so the badges below come from that file. “No violations on the state record” means the state looked and recorded nothing against this community — not that its record is empty. A community whose complaints were investigated and not substantiated belongs here: an allegation nobody substantiated is not a violation, and we will not badge it as one. It is a floor, not a quality score, and never a rating. Open each community to read what its record actually holds, then tour in person and ask the state ombudsman about complaints, which aren't always in the public file.

How we order this list

We do not rank assisted living, because there is no federal star rating for it — the CMS five-star system covers nursing homes only, and assisted living is licensed and inspected by each state with no equivalent score. We could build a composite score out of capacity, memory-care beds and whatever enforcement data a state happens to publish, and put a number at the top of this page. We won’t: it would be our opinion wearing the costume of a government rating, and it would rank hardest on the states that publish least. So we list every licensed community alphabetically, show what the state licenses it for, and show its inspection record where the state publishes one.

Roughly two-thirds of states publish no bulk assisted-living inspection file at all. Where that is the case we say so on the community’s row rather than leaving a reassuring blank — an empty record is missing data, not a good record, and the difference matters most precisely where someone is about to make a decision.

No community pays to appear here. There is no sponsored placement, no paid listing, and no referral fee. The page carries ordinary Google display advertising, sold against the page and with no bearing on who is listed or in what order. Inspection records come straight from state licensing agencies.

Common questions

Does Medicaid pay here?

It depends on the state. Traditional Medicaid does not cover room and board in assisted living, but many states help pay for assisted-living services through a Medicaid waiver. Coverage and availability vary by community, so confirm directly. See our Medicaid and long-term care guide.

How current is this data?

Assisted-living inspection records are published by state licensing agencies and vary by state in how often they are updated. The absence of a violation does not guarantee the absence of problems, so always verify with the community and your state Long-Term Care Ombudsman.

What does the star rating mean?

There is no federal star rating for assisted living — the CMS five-star system covers nursing homes only. That is why we do not rank assisted-living communities, and instead show each community’s state licensing record so you can read it yourself.
