How current is the state inspection of Wellington Manor Knoxville?
The HFC listing gives June 20, 2025 as Wellington Manor Knoxville's most recent survey, which was 16 months before this page was generated.
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.
Where would a Wellington Manor Knoxville resident with dementia go if they start to wander?
No secured unit is reported: the October 2026 bed report shows zero secured beds at Wellington Manor Knoxville, so a resident who begins trying to leave the building would normally move to a community with a locked unit.
Mild cognitive decline can be managed in an open ACLF as long as the resident remains safe and can get out in an emergency. The closest ACLFs reporting secured beds are Emory Mills Senior Living in Knoxville (65 secured beds, same ZIP); The Pointe at Lifespring in Knoxville (46 secured beds, 4.8 mi); Emory Ridge in Powell (60 secured beds, 7.9 mi).
Is there any state enforcement on file for Wellington Manor Knoxville?
None appear. Wellington Manor Knoxville has no disciplinary actions on its HFC listing and does not show up in the monthly Facility Action and Abuse Reports published since January 2025.
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.
