How current is the state inspection of The Glen at Oak Ridge?
The Glen at Oak Ridge's last survey date in the state listing is December 18, 2024, 22 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.
Among all 57 licensed ACLFs in the seven counties, the median listed survey is 38 months old.
Is there a secured unit for wandering residents at The Glen at Oak Ridge?
Yes. The October 2026 bed report credits The Glen at Oak Ridge with 22 secured beds within its 96-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.

Yes. The state lists 1 disciplinary action for The Glen at Oak Ridge, most recently on March 26, 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.

What should we confirm with The Glen at Oak Ridge before signing?
Begin with the questions the public record itself raises: ask what surveyors found before the March 26, 2025 action and how the fix is being monitored now.
- The listed survey is 22 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 many staff are awake in the building between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m.
- 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.
