LifeCare Development Enters Tennessee With The Blake At Chattanooga Assisted Living And Memory Care Community
LifeCare Development has announced plans for The Blake at Chattanooga, a new high-end assisted living and memory care community to be located at 7333 McCutcheon Road in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The community will include 118 apartments, with 73 assisted living apartments and 45 memory care apartments. Sitework and construction are expected to begin in late summer 2026.
The project marks LifeCare Development’s entry into Tennessee and its fifth Blake-branded senior living project with Blake Management Group. LifeCare previously developed four Blake communities in Texas in partnership with BMG, reflecting a continued collaboration centered on development expertise and experienced operations.
“Chattanooga represents a strong market opportunity for LifeCare Development,” said Adam Mitchell, Managing Partner of LifeCare Development. “It offers a compelling combination of growth and demand for modern senior living options. We are excited to bring Blake Management Group’s hospitality-driven approach to Chattanooga.”
Located near The Village at Waterside along the Gunbarrel Road corridor, The Blake at Chattanooga will provide residents access to nearby retail, healthcare and daily conveniences. The community is being designed to deliver a high-end residential environment for older adults seeking assisted living and memory care services.
“Blake Management Group is proud to partner with LifeCare Development to bring exceptional assisted living and memory care services to Chattanooga, Tennessee,” said Scott Hames, Chief Operating Officer of Blake Management Group. “This collaboration combines decades of senior living expertise with a shared commitment to providing compassionate, resident-centered care in a welcoming and supportive environment. Together, Blake Management Group and LifeCare are dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for older adults by offering personalized care plans, engaging lifestyle programs, and specialized memory care services designed to promote dignity, independence and peace of mind for residents and their families. This partnership represents a significant investment in the Chattanooga community and a commitment to setting a new standard for senior living excellence.”
The project team includes Arrive Architecture, Ridgemont Commercial Construction and Banko Design. Trustmark is providing financing for the development. The announcement follows LifeCare Development’s continued growth in the senior living sector and aligns with its focus on identifying markets positioned for high-quality assisted living and memory care development.
Multifamily Leadership will continue to track senior living projects that combine development discipline, operational partnerships and market alignment as the sector responds to demographic shifts and evolving resident expectations.
