This Residence has been designed for adults over the age of 55. Morning Pointe at Greenbriar Cove provides around the clock care, assistance with daily living, meals, wellness programs and transportation » Things to think about: Does your Tennessee assisted living facility have a policy against or for having a weapon inside your residence? If your facility doesn't have strict policies regarding guns, etc., you should look at the incident that happend at a Knoxville, TN assisted living home recently. A 92 year old resident was found dead after a self-inflicted gunshot wound. "Kathy Wagner, the facility's administrator said weapons are banned, but there are no metal detectors or searches for weapons that residents or visitors may bring inside. The state Department of Health recorded 17 incidents of suicide or attempted suicide in nursing homes or assisted-living facilities in 2005" This story from wate6 (http://www.wate.com).			Security and safety should be a major consideration when looking at assisted living facilities. Just as when looking at an apartment or home, make sure and notice the simple safety considerations. Are the streets around the facility well lit? Is there an obvious presence of staff 24 hours a day? Is there a common entry way that is monitored? What is the crime rate in the neighborhood where the facility resides?
