About Ascension Living Alexian PACE

+
Ascension Living Alexian PACE brings compassionate, all-inclusive senior care to the heart of Chattanooga, Tennessee, located at 425 Cumberland Street in the vibrant East Chattanooga corridor. As part of the nationally respected Ascension Living network — one of the largest nonprofit Catholic health systems in the country — this community reflects a deep mission-driven commitment to serving older adults with dignity, whole-person care, and clinical excellence. The PACE model (Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly) sets Ascension Living Alexian apart from traditional assisted living options. Rather than a fragmented approach, PACE coordinates medical care, personal support, therapy, social services, and enrichment programming under one roof, ensuring that residents and their families never have to navigate complex care systems alone. Interdisciplinary teams of physicians, nurses, social workers, and therapists collaborate daily to tailor care plans to each individual's evolving needs. The Cumberland Street location places residents in a walkable, historically rich neighborhood with strong community ties. Erlanger Health System — one of Tennessee's largest academic medical centers — is just minutes away, providing families peace of mind knowing that hospital-level care is always close at hand. CHI Memorial Hospital is also easily accessible for specialized services. Chattanooga's natural beauty and urban amenities make it one of the most appealing cities in the Southeast for older adults. The scenic Tennessee Riverwalk, Coolidge Park, and the beloved Walnut Street Bridge offer gentle outdoor experiences for those who enjoy fresh air and mild seasons. The Tennessee Aquarium and the historic Southside district provide cultural enrichment, while the North Shore neighborhood's cafes and restaurants — such as Niedlov's Breadworks and Easy Bistro — give families enjoyable places to gather during visits. For families seeking a trusted, mission-centered care option in Chattanooga, Ascension Living Alexian PACE offers an exceptional blend of medical oversight, personal warmth, and community connection.
