Where does StoryPoint Knoxville rank by size among Knox County ACLFs?
At 105 licensed beds, StoryPoint Knoxville ranks 6th of 33 licensed ACLFs in Knox County, one of the larger buildings, and holds about 4% of the county's licensed assisted living beds.
For context, the median ACLF across Knox and the six surrounding counties is licensed for 70 beds. Licensed beds are a ceiling, not an occupancy count; ask how many residents live there today and how many apartments are shared.
When was StoryPoint Knoxville last surveyed by the state?
StoryPoint Knoxville's last survey date in the state listing is June 3, 2025, 17 months ago at the time of this build.
Tennessee's ACLF rule calls for an unannounced visit within 15 months of the last one, so this date is older than the cycle. Public listings are sometimes updated late; ask the administrator for the most recent statement of deficiencies and the plan of correction that answered it.
For comparison, half of the region's 57 ACLFs show a listed survey more than 38 months old.
Is there a secured unit for wandering residents at StoryPoint Knoxville?
Yes. The October 2026 bed report credits StoryPoint Knoxville with 40 secured beds within its 105-bed license; Tennessee treats a secured unit as a distinct area where residents are deliberately kept from leaving except as fire safety requires.
Because the unit is locked, the state adds safeguards: a three-person admission evaluation (physician, registered nurse and a family member or advocate), quarterly reviews, a daily staffing record and a round-the-clock awake attendant on the unit itself. Read the full secured-unit rules.
Has StoryPoint Knoxville paid state penalties?
Yes. The state lists 2 disciplinary actions for StoryPoint Knoxville, most recently on December 10, 2025; Tennessee can fine an ACLF up to $1,000 per violation for most care and records problems and up to $3,000 per resident for keeping someone the building is not allowed to serve.
- December 10, 2025: Conditional Change of Ownership Order assessing civil monetary penalties totaling CMP of $2,000 (Violations affecting the health, safety, and welfare of residents)
- October 3, 2018: CONSENT ORDER/CMP Assessed (Violation of Rule 1200-08-25-.07(a)(1) SERVICES PROVIDED)
- December 2025 action report: Two (2) Civil Monetary Penalties of one thousand dollars each, for a total CMP assessment of two thousand dollars ($2,000)
Nearly all of these orders in Tennessee are consent orders, where the operator pays the penalty instead of going to a hearing. The order itself describes what surveyors found; ask the administrator what changed afterward.

Mileage uses ZIP-code centers, so two buildings in one ZIP show as the same spot; drive times along Kingston Pike, Alcoa Highway or I-40 can be much longer than the straight line.
What should we confirm with StoryPoint Knoxville before signing?
Bring the record with you. To start, ask what surveyors found before the December 10, 2025 action and how the fix is being monitored now.
- The listed survey is 17 months old: ask for the newest statement of deficiencies and its plan of correction.
- Ask who gives medications: a licensed nurse, or a certified medication aide supervised by one.
- Ask how quickly a call button is answered at 3 a.m., and how the building measures it.
- Ask how families take part in the quarterly placement reviews the secured-unit rule requires.
- Ask which TennCare health plans, if any, the community works with for CHOICES members.
- Ask for the fee schedule in writing; the rule requires 30 days' notice to residents before fees change.
