At 70 licensed beds, Windsor Ridge ranks 20th of 33 licensed ACLFs in Knox County, a mid-sized buildings, and holds about 3% of the county's licensed assisted living beds.

The typical licensed ACLF in the Knoxville region has 70 beds. Families who want a small, household-style setting should also look at homes for the aged, while those who want an on-site salon, chapel and busy calendar usually end up in the larger buildings.

What is the latest HFC survey date for Windsor Ridge?

State surveyors' latest visit on record at Windsor Ridge is dated February 14, 2023, roughly 44 months back.

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.

Where would a Windsor Ridge resident with dementia go if they start to wander?

No secured unit is reported: the October 2026 bed report shows zero secured beds at Windsor Ridge, 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.

Is there any state enforcement on file for Windsor Ridge?

Which questions does Windsor Ridge's record raise?

Let the state data set the agenda. First, the listed survey is 44 months old: ask for the newest statement of deficiencies and its plan of correction.

  • Find out whether pills are passed by nurses or by certified medication aides, and who checks their work.
  • Ask how many staff are awake in the building between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m.
  • Ask how many residents moved out for memory care in the past year.
  • Ask whether a resident who runs out of savings could stay under TennCare CHOICES, and at what room-and-board rate.
  • Ask for the fee schedule in writing; the rule requires 30 days' notice to residents before fees change.
