Independent Living Communities in Millington, TN

"My friend is at Germantown Plantation Senior Living Community. It's good and very nice. She has a one-bedroom apartment. It's very spacious, it has a patio, and she's happy with it. She can come and go as she wants. They have a lot of activities. People even come in and entertain. They have group things even at night where they will have a special. They have movies almost every night. They have a movie theater, which is comfortable. They have an indoor swimming pool, too. And they have good dining rooms. The food is very good. She loves it out there. She is getting to meet people a lot better than she did before. The place is very clean. There may be a small price for laundry, but housekeeping is included in the rent. And they give out her medication for a small extra fee, which is fine with me. The staff is very good. If my friend has an accident or anything, they come right away. I brought her home the other day and she didn't feel good. I got hold of a nurse, she came quickly and she took care of her. It is very, very good. They have their own doctor on staff. If she has any problems, that doctor would take care of it. If she needs blood work or if she needs an x-ray or something, they can do it there instead of going out someplace."

"I toured Sycamore Ridge Gracious Retirement Living. They were very nice. The rooms and the amenities were also nice. What I want right now is one where I can start in independent living because I can take care of myself right now. But I'd like to know that I could step down to the assisted living when I need to. There was not any step down there, and that is something that I didn't like about it. Other than that, I was impressed with it. It was clean. The staff member who took us on the tour was very nice. We had a meal there and it was very good and very healthy. It would make me be healthy. They said you have the option of choosing your dessert, and I ordered a lemon square, and it was only about an inch on each side. I know that they're trying to do what's healthy for you. It was very well prepared and I would approve of that."

"I toured Heritage at Irene Woods. There wasn't anything that I didn't like about it. I just met one person on staff, but I noticed that, like others, as we were touring, the staff would call the residents by name and say, "How are you doing today, and do you need anything?". They were very attentive. It's a newer construction, and it's welcoming."

"My mom and dad are currently transitioning at StoryPoint Collierville. They're in independent and they have started to add care packages and they're starting the discussion to go into some more enhanced. What I like best is I find the staff very helpful and they've been very good about helping us transition as we have different needs pop up. My parents have been here for over two years and I've just always had great experiences. I really like that it's not just that they provide excellent services, they genuinely care about my parents, going the extra mile to make sure they're cared for. My mom just got out of the hospital and missed dinnertime and the head of the whole facility here saw me come in and said, "Hey, does she need dinner?" and personally brought it up to her. I just thought that was so loving. That's not the first time that those kinds of incidents have happened. I've eaten here several times, and I've always enjoyed the meals with my parents. Housekeeping is good. Everything is nice and clean. I've seen my parents put in work orders and the response is well. They celebrate birthdays and they have fun activities. They have movie times that they've gone to. My mom has gone to this one event that has challenging games like trivia and stuff like that. They've had special brunches for families. We were able to rent the facility out for my daughter's baby shower, so that was a really nice option that we could use the facility for that. I really feel like this is really good value for the money that you pay. It's not overly expensive."

"Wesley at Millington Towers is very nice. I've lived there before. The staff members are very nice and very friendly. They're easy to get along with. The room has a kitchen, a big living room, and one bedroom, good size. Food is very good. I do a lot of my own cooking at home, but from what I've had down there, it's a 5. They have games, and they have people come in. They play and sing, and they have parties. They have all kinds of activities."

"I've been a resident of The Atrium and Cottages at Lutheran Village. It's great that the people are very friendly. You've got access to dinner five nights a week, Monday through Friday, and that's included in the agreement. The maintenance staff is great. You don't have to fix any machines. All the maintenance was taken care of, including the washer, refrigerator, and grass. Utilities are rolled in, you don't have to worry about those bills. It's a triangular building and inside it's an atrium with palm trees and bromeliads and a little water feature. They bring in entertainment for special events. They have church services, movies, and exercise. They have one-bedrooms, a small two-bedroom, and a large two-bedroom. They have balconies. We're on the first floor, so we have a patio. Value-wise, you can't beat it. The food, it's not a five-star restaurant, but they cook and serve it. They will deliver it to your condo if you don't want to go down to the restaurant area."

"I'm already living in an independent community called Lutheran Village. It is a village where people live by themselves, or husband and wife live together. We have five floors and there are probably 20 to 25 apartments on each floor. It is perfect. It's excellent. The grounds are gated. They are locked at 5:00 at night. You do not get in unless you have a clicker to get into the grounds or the building. You have an elevator that you go up to your apartment. I live on the third floor and I'm in a one-bedroom. The apartments are very nice and very well-kept. They have a cleaning service twice a month that comes in and cleans. We have a dining area down on the bottom floor where you can eat five days a week if you choose to. Your utilities, your cable, and your maintenance are included in your HOA, and it's nice. We have games and activities. There's always something going on. We have a van that takes you to and from grocery stores and shopping malls. It's a wonderful place. The staff is wonderful. They're caring, loving, and very attentive to your needs. The food is good."

"The staff at Elite Personal care-home are truly amazing. They pay great attention to detail and provide services that your family will need. My dad loves bingo and the staff would sit and they all enjoyed it. Elite Personal Care-home is a great place for your love one to age in place at. They offer assistant living and independent living. All you need to do is bring your clothes and a smile and they take care of the rest! I used them for respite but i am loving forward to long term placement for my dad with them! The rooms in the house are cozy, great in size and has all accommodations for my dad. "

"Ave Maria has an outstanding reputation here in the Memphis area, and it's been around a long time and it deserves its outstanding reputation. It's a lovely community. The staff was very friendly and professional. The food was delicious. The cleanliness and structure of the building is wonderful. Although it was an older structure, it was in very good condition. The atmosphere was cheerful. The sizes of the rooms were perfect, just the right size."

"Bellevue Woods is just around the corner from me, and I know several people who live there who like it, so that's why I chose it. They were very friendly, and they showed me around. I saw what one of the apartments looked like. They have a pool and a room where everybody can gather around and do things. It is clean and nice. There are places to walk around in. The staff who gave the tour was very nice."

"I moved to King's Reserve Memphis. It's a great community and the people are great. They have a dining room and a pantry. They have "wine down" where you can eat, drink wine, and gather with people to talk. They have bingo. They also have a dog park. They offer aerobics classes with equipment that you can use for riding and lifting weights. They have a beauty salon and a person who plants flowers with whom you can work. Additionally, they have a vegetable garden here. They provide a balcony. The staff is friendly, helpful, and wonderful. They know how to treat all the people there with respect, especially older people, and you can feel the love. I cook my own food, and they have a pantry every Tuesday where you can go and pick up food to bring back to your apartment. They also have an elevator. Even though I'm paying more for this apartment than I was paying for the other one, it's still worth it, because when you enter downstairs it feels like you're walking into a hotel instead of a senior citizen's apartment."

"Trezevant Manor was very well maintained, and the patients there were very well taken care of. You had to have a lot of finances to get in, but for the most part, it was very beautiful. They had amenities like a gym, an exercise room, and a pool, and they had several things on the ground to make the patients' busy. However, I would say if there was any way possible to make it a little bit more affordable for people that had average income instead of high income. I thought this particular retirement home was for people with a three-digit salary. I thought if they would reviewed the average of retirement people and their income and made it somewhat affordable to them, it would be a big help for people who really wanted to go into those types of places. "

"Overall, The Parkview was nice, organized, and well-kept. The rooms were OK. They have a lot of things to offer. We were fairly pleased. The staff member who gave me the tour was nice. Anything that I had concerns about she was able to answer. They play card games and go on field trips."

"When I went into St. Peter Manor, everybody seems to be really polite. The facility was clean. The staff I talked to was very cool and very helpful."
