LifeCare Development Announces The Blake at Chattanooga Bringing High End Assisted Living And Memory Care To Tennessee

LifeCare Development has announced plans for The Blake at Chattanooga, a new assisted living and memory care community to be located at 7333 McCutcheon Road in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The project will deliver 118 apartments, including 73 assisted living units and 45 memory care units. Sitework and construction are scheduled to begin in late summer 2026.

The Blake at Chattanooga marks LifeCare Development's entry into Tennessee and represents the firm's fifth Blake-branded senior living project developed in partnership with Blake Management Group. LifeCare previously developed four Blake communities in Texas with BMG, continuing a collaborative relationship focused on development and 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 in the growing Gunbarrel Road corridor, the site offers proximity to retail, healthcare and daily conveniences. The community is being designed to provide 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, with Trustmark providing project financing. The announcement underscores LifeCare Development's ongoing growth in the senior living sector and its focus on markets suited for high-quality assisted living and memory care development.
