Where does The Village at Deane Hill rank by size among Knox County ACLFs?

At 124 licensed beds, The Village at Deane Hill ranks 2nd of 33 licensed ACLFs in Knox County, one of the larger buildings, and holds about 5% 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 The Village at Deane Hill last surveyed by the state?

The HFC listing for The Village at Deane Hill does not show a date of last survey, so the record cannot tell you when inspectors last visited.

Ask the administrator for the most recent HFC statement of deficiencies and the plan of correction that answered it. A facility should be able to show both, and you can also request records through HFC's public records portal.

How many secured dementia beds does The Village at Deane Hill report?

A consent order is a settlement, not a finding after a contested hearing. It still names the rule that was broken, which is the best starting point for a tour conversation.

What other licensed assisted living is near The Village at Deane Hill?

The nearest other licensed ACLF is American House West Knoxville in Knoxville (same ZIP by straight line, 125 beds, 24 secured), and the closest acute-care hospital is Parkwest Medical Center at about 4.6 miles.

For skilled nursing later on, the closest CMS-certified nursing homes are Lyonsview Health and Rehabilitation Center (0.9 mi, CMS 1 of 5) and West Hills Health and Rehab (2.6 mi, CMS 3 of 5).

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 families ask on a tour of The Village at Deane Hill?

Begin with the questions the public record itself raises: ask what surveyors found before the August 26, 2026 action and how the fix is being monitored now.

• Ask to read the most recent HFC statement of deficiencies and the plan of correction that answered it.
• Ask how medication errors are tracked and who on staff is responsible for the medication cart.
• Ask for the overnight staffing plan for all 124 beds, not just the day shift.
• Ask to see the secured unit's daily staffing record and the date of each resident's last quarterly review.
• 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.
