Morning Pointe Assisted Living & Alzheimer’s Memory Care
Mary Fulgam and Ila Burns.
What are you waiting for? M any families wait to move their loved one into an assisted living community after a crisis. A crisis can come in the form of a fall, a hospital stay, medications not being taken properly or a wandering episode. Typically after our residents make it through a short adjustment period and settle into their new home, the thing we most often hear from our families and residents is, “Why did we wait so long? I wish we had moved sooner.” Families with aging loved ones often view the choice of moving to an assisted living community as a last resort and desire for their loved one to remain at home for as long as possible. Unfortunately this often leads to residents being able to enjoy assisted living for a much shorter period of time or sometimes even having to bypass assisted living altogether because the person’s needs are greater than

what can be accommodated in assisted living. The other main difference between residing at home or in an assisted living community is the sense of purpose and friend ships that often come from being around others. As, Emily Jarosz, one of our family members eloquently shared: “She had become isolated, all of her friends her age were gone; she was looking for some kind of recognition and value. She wanted to feel worthwhile. My mom is happy at Morning Pointe – she loves the caregivers. They do a wonderful job and they are like family to her.” Whether you are in the midst of a crisis or just starting to contemplate if there is something more for your loved one, Morning Pointe is here. Please visit one of our communities or call us today at (865) 988-7373!

Alternatives to granite countertops Granite has long been a popular countertop material for homeowners looking to combine functionality with aesthetic appeal in their kitchens. But granite is no small investment, and homeowners looking to refurbish their kitchens should know there are a multitude of countertop materials available to those working on a budget or those who simply want to give their kitchens a different look. • Solid wood: Wood countertops create a warm, homey interior. Butcher block counters are less expensive than granite and do not necessarily need to be ordered from a speciality retailer. But wood can stain and dent and can even burn when hot kitchenware is placed atop it. Regular application of oil can help homeowners maintain the appearance of their wood counters for years to come. • Marble: Marble tends to be less expensive than granite without sacrificing aesthetic appeal. However, marble is softer and more porous than granite, so it can stain and be etched. Diligence in wiping away spills, routine sealing and a gentle touch is necessary for those who choose marble countertops.
• Soapstone: This is a natural stone composed mainly of mineral talc that gives the stone its smooth feel. Soapstone ranges from black to gray but can sometimes have a green shade to it. Other materials in the stone can produce veining. Although softer than granite, soapstone is still high-density and will hold up well. It’s impervious to stains and bacteria, and exposure to chemicals will not damage it. • Quartz: Quartz is a manufactured product made of stone aggregate and polymers compressed under high pressure. It has the look of natural stone but requires less work to maintain. Quartz has consistent colors and patterns and is a nonporous material, so it will not need routine sealing and resealing. • Glass: Glass countertops are back-painted, so homeowners can order just about any color they want. Glass will be tempered, so it is safe and heat-resistant. Glass can scratch, though, so it is not as impervious as other materials. • Concrete: Concrete is another material that can be colored to match homeowners’ whims. Concrete is relatively inexpensive compared to other countertop materials, but it can crack or chip.

U
ntil recently, homeowners wishing to upgrade their home’s existing wood cabinets and flooring had few options, all of them expensive. Cabinets and wood floors could be replaced, resurfaced or refinished. Now with a revolutionary and proprietary system introduced by N-Hance Wood Renewal, homeowners have a fourth option which is 65% less than resurfacing and 80% less than replacement. N-Hance Wood Renewal is an innovative, affordable wood cabinet and floor renewal service that renews wood surfaces without the dust, inconvenience and noxious fumes associated with traditional methods. N-Hance allows you to shift colors or change colors. N-Hance’s experienced, factory trained craftsmen thoroughly remove all accumulated build-up and old coatings before repairing any damaged areas. Finally, an elegant new finish is applied, revealing your “like new” results, all without demolition and the mess of resurfacing or refinishing. One advantage that really sets them apart from competitors is that they can, in some cases, begin a wood renewal process when the customer goes to work in the morning and have it completed by the time they get home. “Homeowners are always amazed at the quality of the results accomplished in such a short amount of time,” says owner, Carleen Head.

From the farm to your floors
O
nce a beam in a farmer’s barn, a supporting joist for a warehouse roof or a hand-hewn girder in a stable, no two pieces of reclaimed wood are exactly alike. Harvested decades, and even centuries, ago from slow-growth, virgin timber, aged wood offers an authentic and exceptionally tight wood grain with a rich, naturally weathered color and patina that cannot be duplicated. Blend the beauty and sustainability of reclaimed wood into your home. Whether you’re building a rustic cabin retreat or renovating a modern urban dwelling, Plantation Reclaimed’s 100-percent reclaimed hardwood flooring can help you create an enduring space that’s as unique as your taste. Repurposing reclaimed wood also demonstrates dedication to preserving our nation’s past, as well as furthering its present goals for sustainability.

For those looking for wide plank flooring without the historical marks and artifacts, an additional flooring option in our Traditionally Milled Hardwood Flooring is offered. Plantation Reclaimed provides reclaimed solid and engineered hardwood options, re-sawn and handmade beams and timbers and antique barn siding in a large variety of species ... all environmentally friendly!

Decorative return air vent covers
W
hen Cindy Moore wanted to enhance her home’s decor by ‘hiding’ a necessary fixture - the unappealing cold air return vent - she enlisted her family to help. They designed several vent covers for their home which quickly became a popular conversation piece with house guests and Fancy Vents was born. “The idea really isn’t new. It was being done in the late 1800s. Fancy Vents is an improvement on an old idea. We produce a beautiful, high-quality product because we are the only company in the nation that focuses on just providing decorative cold return air vent covers,” said Cindy. Fancy Vents offers multiple designs for ceiling and wall vents. Each cover is custom built by hand, in Tennessee, in all steel and cast iron and powder coated for a lasting glazed finish. They are not only beautifully decorative but functional and easy to open for cleaning and changing filters. Fancy Vents is marketed online and through home shows and they ship nationwide. Visit www.fancyvents. com or call (615) 776-3023 for more information and to view the extensive gallery of designs for traditional to contemporary homes.

Spring swimming pool installation tips Now that the weather is warming up, many homeowners’ thoughts are drifting toward relaxing days spent soaking up some sun by the pool. Early spring is a great time to install a pool so the family has a go-to hangout by the time summer arrives. Installing a pool is a large financial investment, and homeowners considering adding a pool should not take that decision lightly. When attempting to determine if a pool is for them, homeowners may want to ask themselves the following questions. Is my yard suitable for a pool? Some yards may not be large enough for pools, while others may not meet the zoning requirements set forth by the town. Still other yards may have soil that’s not suitable for putting in an inground pool, or may have a high water table that can delay construction. Can we afford it? A pool can range from a few hundred dollars for inflatable or self-installing models to many thousands for elaborate inground designs. You budget will dictate which type of pool you can afford to install. How will we use the pool? Decide if you’re putting in a pool for the kids, to entertain the family or to make an architectural statement in the yard. Having a clear sense of purpose will help to guide the decision-making process. Who will maintain the pool? Many homeowners tackle the day-to-day maintenance required to keep their pools clean and safe. Others hire pool cleaners to maintain their pools and ensure the water is properly balanced. Maintenance can cost additional money, so consider this poten-

tial cost when determining if a pool is for you. Are there any safety concerns? Parents of young children may be hesitant to install a pool, but today’s pool installation codes consider many of the potential hazards of a pool and attempt to eliminate them. Fences surrounding inground pools with self-locking gates, as well as locking ladders for above-ground pools can eliminate accidental falls into unattended pools. Your municipality will have a list of requirements for pools, so peruse the list prior to making your final decision. Always work with a pool-installation company that has earned positive reviews and has a stellar record of service. While this does not guarantee that the job will not encounter problems, contractors with glowing reviews tend to have earned those reviews. Read reviews from unbiased, online customers as well as any friends or family members who have used a particular pool company. It’s important that homeowners recognize that the installation of a pool may require some heavy machinery, which can damage lawns. Fence panels may have to be removed to let in excavation equipment. Sand, soil backfill or gravel may be needed to level out a landscape, and things may get noisy and messy when the installation hits full swing. Always secure the proper permits and inspections prior to using the pool. This not only ensures the safety of swimmers, but also guarantees the pool is legal. Backyard swimming pools make for an enjoyable place to congregate when the weather is hot. Follow a few guidelines and ask the necessary questions to make a pool installation go more smoothly.

The family operated West Knox company, founded in 2004, is run by a fatherdaughter team, Harry Gillman and Kim Gillman Turner. One of the many services Tennessee Trash offers includes their Roll Off Service for high volume waste from home remodeling, junk or estate clean outs, roof replacements, downsizing, new construction and other needs. “We have 9-yard, 10-yard, 20- and 30-yard temporary waste removal containers,” says Kim Turner, general manager. “Customers can select the small 9-box dumpster that is perfect for small jobs.
