Shannondale of Knoxville has a new, four-legged friend that is brightening Shannondale's community. It’s thanks to a program called H.A.B.I.T. which stands for Human-Animal Bond in Tennessee.
Shannondale is launching a new program, “Shannondale Rocks” to bring smiles to fellow residents and people across Knoxville. Buckingham Residents Betty Craig and Del Neely came up with the idea to bring the community together. The idea stems from the Kindness Rocks Project. The concept is simple, those who find a free, decorated rock discover a random act of kindness.
Suzie Cooper, Director of Nursing, and Kris Newvine, Director of Social Services and Admissions, are a dynamic duo serving the Shannondale of Maryville campus. It doesn’t take long to see that these two employees share their love for what they do. They describe Shannondale of Maryville as a big family where staff is close with residents and their families.
Little things like activity enrichment can make a huge difference in the lives of the Shannondale of Maryville residents. The Shannondale of Maryville Activities Team views their purpose as providing life enrichment for the well-loved Shannondale retirement community in Maryville. This team serves residents across the continuum of care in Independent Living, Assisted Living and the Health Care Center.
Your loved one is important to you, so it’s natural to have concerns about his or her care, safety and overall well-being.
