Great choice for our family

Very happy with the facility. My Mom loves the food and has made friends. In-house prescription service is extremely expensive. Other than that very reasonably priced.

Southern Oaks

I had to continually monitor whether my mom was being bathed. Many times I had to remind them . The lady that bathed her was very unfriendly and rough. It seemed she was always bothered if my mom needed help. I don't understand that because that is why she was there. The activity lady was awesome and very friendly. She is the chief attraction.

Awesome staff

The staff is genuinely caring and concerned for the residents! It gives family members a piece of mind, knowing their loved ones are being well taken care of. The activity director is very lively and engaging… They provide flower arrangements for each of the residents due to donated flowers from various places around Chattanooga.

Our families experience

My mother seems happy there. That matters most. She'd let us know if anything wasn't right. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend Southern Oaks Assisted Living community to other families who may need a place for their loved ones.
