What to Consider About Assisted Living in Cordova
Cordova is a small, Shelby County community that has been mostly annexed by the city of Memphis, Tennessee. The community is just a few miles northeast of Shelby Farms Park, where seniors can enjoy the fresh air while traversing 40 miles of paved and unpaved trails across the 4,500-acre urban park, or take part in one of the many seasonal activities hosted there when wanting to spend the day outside of their assisted care living facility (ACLF).
As in the rest of Tennessee, Cordova ACLFs must provide room and board, along with any services needed for seniors to age in place. Licensing for ACLFs is regulated by the Tennessee Department of Health, Board of Licensing Health Care Facilities. Seniors needing assisted living care in Cordova can choose from one of 31 assisted living facilities in Shelby County.
