State surveyors' latest visit on record at NHC Place, Cavette Hill is dated April 18, 2023, roughly 42 months back.

This listing is older than the seven-county median of 38 months.
Can NHC Place, Cavette Hill keep a resident who develops dementia?
No secured unit is reported: the October 2026 bed report shows zero secured beds at NHC Place, Cavette Hill, so a resident who begins trying to leave the building would normally move to a community with a locked unit.
Memory loss alone does not force a move; Tennessee's test is whether the resident can still evacuate safely and does not need a locked door. The closest ACLFs reporting secured beds are Avenir Memory Care at Knoxville in Farragut (62 secured beds, same ZIP); Northshore Senior Living, LLC in Knoxville (17 secured beds, 4.6 mi); StoryPoint Knoxville in Knoxville (40 secured beds, 4.6 mi).
Has NHC Place, Cavette Hill paid state penalties?
No disciplinary action is listed: the HFC record for NHC Place, Cavette Hill shows none, and it is not named in the state's Facility Action and Abuse Reports from January 2025 onward.
Most deficiencies are corrected without any order, which is why this count can be zero even after a survey with findings. Ask for the most recent statement of deficiencies anyway.
