"We have promised ourselves that we shall always treat our residents as we would our own loved ones. Nothing less than the best will do."
This is a simple promise that the staff at Emeritus at Oak Ridge- and throughout Emeritus communities- has shared since 2000, when our assisted living community first opened. It's a simple promise to be compassionate and kind, understanding and respectful- a promise to become extended family to the seniors entrusted in our care and to exceed our residents' expectations.
Right at Home
Set on five acres of beautifully landscaped grounds with an outdoor courtyard, Emeritus at Oak Ridge is one of Tennessee's premier assisted living and Alzheimer's communities. Located just off the Oak Ridge Turnpike, our senior living community offers 72 apartments on one floor, featuring porches and courtyards with scenic views. Here our residents — in many cases, with their pets — enjoy retirement living. Yet a helping hand from our warm, caring staff- considered among the best in the industry — is always close by.
Join Their Journey - Alzheimer's and Dementia Care
Our community also offers an innovative memory care program, Join Their Journey®, for seniors affected by Alzheimer's or dementia. Because your family's experience will be unlike any other, our goal is to get to know you and your loved one, so that we can offer support and solutions for your individual situation. We "join the journey" of your loved one by recognizing individuality, encouraging choices and allowing residents the dignity to live in a secure, personalized and familiar setting that feels comfortable for them.
New friends, new beginnings
Our common areas- including our lovely dining room, library, beautifully appointed lounges and activities rooms — give residents and their loved ones the opportunity to get to know one another. We also offer a wide range of activities each month, including clubs, exercise classes and off-site excursions. Located directly beside the Oak Ridge Senior Center, Emeritus at Oak Ridge is in a residential area, with community property connecting to the Oak Ridge Municipal Park. We are also located near shopping and medical facilities, including the Methodist Medical Center and a nursing home rehabilitation center, which are just minutes away, if ever needed.
