The FREE 12 Star Family Support Group is open to Everyone. 
Please join us on the 2ND Tuesday of Every Month  at 6:30PM 

The 12 Star Family Support is Knoxville’s only support venue offering an elder with Dementia or Alzheimer’s Disease the opportunity to have fun and socialize in a safe environment, while allowing the caregiver a much needed break and the ability to gain education and support. Each month will have a different curriculum.  Attend all 12 months and become 12 Star certified! 

Family Support
801 E. Inskip Dr., Knoxville, TN 37912
Traditional Family Support is a forum where caregivers take time for themselves to become educated, get emotional support and meet others who are in similar situations.

Memory Lane Café
815 E. Inskip Dr., Knoxville, TN 37912
Memory Lane Café is a place where persons with Alzheimer’s or a related disease can go to just socialize and have fun with other people going through similar things. At a Memory Café, people can relax and just be themselves, knowing that no one judges them and all who are there are going through almost the same things that they go through every day.

We are often asked "What makes The Courtyards Senior Living  different? "

The most striking difference of The Courtyards is the quality and intimacy of the care we provide our residents. Much of this is due to the small size of our communities, with no building having more than 18 rooms. With so few residents, a more intimate, personal care plan can be maintained. Also, our nurses and caregivers develop close bonds with our residents and know their likes/dislikes, just like family. 

When seniors and staff can enjoy a beautiful day in East Tennessee outside with friends we call that
