The Blake at Chattanooga, a resort-style, upscale assisted living and memory care community for older adults, is planned in the East Brainerd area.

The community will be at 7333 McCutcheon Road, next to the Village at Waterside shopping center, on property purchased in May by LifeCare Development for $6.8 million, according to county records.

The facility will be developed by LifeCare Development, a Biloxi, Mississippi, company that specializes in developing living communities for older adults and operated by Ridgeland, Mississippi-based Blake Management Group. Blake operates communities for older adults.

LifeCare Development is unaffiliated with Life Care Centers of America, which was founded by Forrest Preston in Cleveland, Tennessee, in 1970 and manages or operates more than 200 skilled nursing, Alzheimer’s, rehabilitation and assisted living facilities in 27 states, according to its website.
