Tennessee has cited a Chattanooga assisted-care facility after a resident from its memory-care unit was found to have left the unit.
Chattanooga, TN, October 28, 2026 —
Tennessee has cited an assisted-care facility in Chattanooga after a resident from its memory-care unit was found to have left the unit, according to the available account of the incident.
The information provided does not identify the facility or say when the resident left. It also does not specify how the departure was discovered, how long the resident was outside the unit, or whether the resident was injured. The cited account does not name the state agency involved or describe the specific finding behind the citation.
No details were provided about the facility’s response, any corrective steps, or whether regulators imposed a fine. The citation’s status and any subsequent inspection or review were also not included. It is therefore unclear from the available information whether the citation reflects a particular regulatory violation or what action, if any, the facility may be required to take.
The reported incident concerns a resident who left a memory-care unit, but the account does not explain the circumstances or establish how the departure occurred. It does not say whether the resident left the building or the facility grounds; it states only that the resident was found to have left the unit.
Further information about the facility, the state’s citation, and the outcome for the resident was not provided. Those details would be needed to clarify the regulatory finding and what followed the incident.
