At Care Initiatives, we understand that caring for others begins with caring for ourselves. Today, on World Mental Health Day, we join the global movement to raise awareness and support conversations around mental well-being.

Mental health matters every day — for our residents, patients, families, and team members. Taking time to rest, reflect, and reach out for support helps us continue providing the compassionate care our communities deserve. 💙

Let’s continue to check in with ourselves and each other — because together, we’re stronger.

Together We Care: Recognizing Breast Cancer Awareness Month at Care Initiatives

Knowing the signs can help save lives. Some symptoms to watch for include:
✔️ A new lump in the breast or underarm
✔️ Changes in breast size, shape, or appearance
✔️ Unexplained pain in the breast or ni**le
✔️ Skin changes such as dimpling, redness, or thickening
✔️ Ni**le discharge other than breast milk

If you notice any of these changes, talk with your healthcare provider right away. Early detection is key to successful treatment.

At Care Initiatives, we’re proud to recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month and remind everyone of the importance of prevention, awareness, and early care. 💗

Team Member of the Month: Stacey S., LPN ✨

Stacey consistently shows dedication to her residents and team members. She is a tremendous leader, giving guidance to her team and leads them effectively, giving clear & direct communication. She balances her work life and life at home being a grandmother, mother, daughter, and good friend to many. Stacey also fills her heart volunteering for the Red Cross during disastrous events. Something we appreciate most about Stacey is her ability to find humor in a difficult day and make the best of it.

Congratulations Stacey, your efforts don't go unnoticed! 💗

Welcome to West Ridge Specialty Care

West Ridge Specialty Care in Knoxville is the epitome of the ideal skilled nursing facility with state-of-the-art rehabilitation, warm and inviting living quarters and staffed by highly-trained professionals who are dedicated to providing the best care around.

West Ridge features wall-to-wall carpeting in the hallways which makes for a much more homelike setting. Wide open, airy rooms bring in sunlight from the front veranda and courtyard. Private dining areas are open to families and encourages private visits to celebrate special moments. The occasional full-facility gathering such as our family potluck during the holidays or ice cream social in the summer brings in everybody’s family including many of our regular volunteers.

While many of our residents are temporary, making use of our Rehab to Home therapy program, for others this will become their true home and we welcome them with open arms. Daily activities such as bingo, horseshoes, card games and relaxing in the courtyard or planting flowers offers a little something for everyone’s interest. Getting involved in the community by hosting the annual Easter egg hunt, and participating in the Homecoming parade.
