This is the worst apartment complex I've ever lived in! Their dining services are terrible, and the management doesn't know how to treat someone with respect. They don't know how to treat residents as customers! People are not forced to live there! They do have choices and they can always take their business elsewhere, which is exactly what I did! Beware of Kasi! She is rude and doesn't know how to treat people!

My husband and I have lived at Echo Ridge for over four years. We are disappointed that the new owners (Atria Senior Living) are not taking care our community. We have so many repairs which need to be taken care of and they are ignoring these issues. Many of the needed repairs could be fixed but they are more concerned about revenue than taking care of senior citizens. Carpet over 25 years old is stained and dangerous, needs to be replaced. Dining room chairs with wheels falling off and structural problems that are totally being ignored. We have found that the company representatives will lie about things being repaired in order to avoid dealing with elderly residents. I would no longer recommend this facility.

I have my grandmother as a resident of Echo Ridge in Knoxville and she absolutely loves it. Losing her husband, my grandfather, she wanted to be around people that are positive, happy and a place that has activities. We visited every senior living facility in the area and while some are newer, they just didn't have the family warm feel as Echo Ridge. Almost immediately, we knew this was the place she would call home and that we could feel comfortable knowing she was in the best place in the area. It first began in meeting and speaking with the G.M. Larry Goings. Mr. Goings answered all of our questions, was transparent, professional and has a heart for seniors. He told us stories of his relationship with his grandparents, and saw how many residents would come up to him and their interactions told us a lot. Mr. Goings introduced us to his staff that were really friendly and made us feel welcomed. Mr. Goings had us eat lunch and the food was delicious and gave us the opportunity to speak with other residents who conveyed how much they loved it there. After our lunch we then went and toured the place and chose what apartment was appropriate. Considering all the free countless amenities and what they cost at other places, we chose Echo Ridge and it's been lovely. Not only do we recommend Echo Ridge to everyone, but if we ever decide to go this route, this will be where we call home too.

My father spent much of the last months of his life at Echo Ridge, and it was a wonderful place for him. The staff there are very caring and concerned and make the effort to spend time with and get to know the residents. When I walked in today to move some of Dad's stuff out of his room the general manager was out helping serve residents their lunch in the cafe area. How many places do you get that kind of interaction from the GM? The facility is beautiful, inside and out, and they offer so much. There are so many activities available on the schedule and so many things to do in the building. The rooms seem to each have their own balcony or patio giving a nice place to sit when the weather is nice. For those who may need such things, they also have an on-site physical therapy office with staff who will help residents with their rehabilitative needs. Three meals a day are served in their very nice cafe, and if I remember correctly friends and family can eat free with their resident on Wednesday! There are regularly scheduled trips to the local store for those residents who like to have snacks or sodas in the kitchenette in their room, and other trips are arranged monthly. All in all it is a wonderful place, and Dad enjoyed it and the various people there, both residents and staff, as I did and the other members of our family too. Highest recommendation!
