Autumn Reserve Independent Living Knoxville, TN

Independent Living communities with modern amenities have become an integral part of society, enabling seniors to spend their days in a supportive, purpose-filled environment.

Autumn Reserve is taking the concept of Independent Living to the next level by providing its residents with support, care, and enhanced services such as 3 Executive Chef-prepared meals per day, compared to the typical 2 meals a day served in Independent Living facilities. Their luxurious dining room also boasts restaurant-style service with seasonal menus, including an Always Available menu of residents’ favorites—all approved by a registered dietician.

Autumn Reserve’s Independent Living communities, located within a licensed Assisted Living community, allows seniors to truly ‘age in place,’ without having to move loved ones twice. For anyone who knows how disruptive a single move is for our Seniors, this is a noteworthy benefit for this IL community.

The company, which originally opened its doors with their Karns ALF building in 2009, helps seniors enjoy an independent life with not only a luxurious resort-style feel, but Top-Tier services focused on providing convenience, along with assistance when needed. Autumn Reserve offers meaningful community engagement, which effectively minimizes the risk of individual isolation. It boasts a positive atmosphere for an interactive, fulfilling life and a wonderful sense of community. Long-time Autumn Reserve resident, Julia, happily remarked, “Everyone is so nice and friendly here. It truly feels like one big happy family!”

Autumn Reserve, which opened in 2019, is conveniently nestled within the heart of beautiful upscale Farragut Township in West Knoxville. Situated close to the popular Turkey Creek shopping center; gorgeous Campbell Station Park; The Township Library; many local Churches; preferred medical facilities; a stunning meandering paved walking path of the TN Green Belt; and many wonderful restaurants.

Being privately owned and operated, Autumn Reserve was strategically designed by the owners to be unlike many Independent Living apartments that require residents to walk great distances to avail basic services. Autumn Reserve leverages a two-story building design for its facility, providing ease of access and alleviating the burden of navigating long hallways and multiple floors. It also promotes a vibrant atmosphere where Seniors can thrive and build meaningful connections through social engagement. Every individual is offered a variety of amenities and activities to choose from according to their preferences, from arts and crafts sessions; happy hour; a movie theater; library; billiards table; putt-putt golf; and various fun games, plus group outings to stores, parks, and restaurants. Also note-worthy, they are Pet-Friendly! Cats and/or small dogs are welcome!

Autumn Reserve’s in-house Nurses and Nurse Practitioners offer extra support for full-time residents as well as offering temporary respite care and Hospice, providing peace of mind to their families. A Physical Therapy gym within the premises is supervised by licensed Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapists assists clients in improving their mental and physical health. They can indulge in a range of activities guided by trained instructors.

The company offers unwavering commitment to personalized care. The moment a resident submits a move-in application, the Director of Nursing conducts an assessment to understand their needs. A complete medical history is then procured from by their present care provider to determine the level of care they require. Add-on services are provided for independent individuals who might be capable of managing their day-to-day activities, but may require assistance in certain areas like daily medication management. Appropriate attention to the resident’s requirements is key to enabling a healthy life. A detailed personalized plan of care is developed in order to identify where residents require additional assistance.

As for excellence in staffing, Autumn Reserve’s emphasis on nurturing talent from within underscores a culture of growth and employee retention. The majority of its senior staff members have been working at the company for years, if not decades, and have been promoted through the ranks due to their deep understanding of resident care. The regional VP of Marketing is a testament to this culture, having worked her way up from the role of Life Enrichment Director. She has been a trusted associate of the company for many years and has experienced the quality of its services first-hand.

The company’s strategic decision was made to offer an independent living segment without diminishing its ability to provide round-the-clock support. Autumn Reserve stands as the Go-To partner for fostering a sense of community and companionship among residents, while empowering them to thrive independently in a supportive and enriching environment.

As a result, this location is currently full with a waitlist. However, Autumn Reserve requires no money down to get on the list for those who desire to be future residents of Autumm Care’s flagship location. Tours are still offered 7 days a week, and the company website provides a newly posted Virtual Tour as well!
