Memory Care Communities in Memphis, TN

"I toured Brookdale Dogwood Creek. I liked it very much. There wasn't anything I liked least. The reason we chose the other facility was because they would accept him there. He needed both physical therapy and cognitive assistance. He needs some mental care, and he also has some deep tissue wounds that kept him out of some of the licensed places. He was not eligible to go to any places. The staff was nice and lovely. The food was delicious. The facility was very clean. The room sizes were lovely. It's a very cheerful place."

"I really feel that the strength of The Gardens of Germantown is their activities director. It seems like they do a whole lot with the memory care residents. I thought it was a really nice area. It was clean, and there was a big open area. It also seemed that there was plenty of staff per patient, maybe a few more staff than what I would normally see at the other places. Their activities director seemed to be involved in doing things specifically for memory care. I talked to her for a good while, and she explained some of the things that they do and some of the activities. I really would have loved to potentially have my mother there, but it's a lot farther for me. But their food looked and smelled good, and the menu looked good."

"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."

"I went to The Goldton At Southaven. It was a nice visit. I would recommend it to anyone. It's very nice. The staff showed me around, and she was very professional and very friendly. I love the atmosphere there. It was very clean. Everything was beautiful. That place was something else. It's fantastic. I didn't see a courtyard, and they don't have much parking space, and that's a negative there."

"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.

"The one that we ended up choosing was The Pointe at Kirby Gate. The people who worked there were very nice. One of the things that my dad liked was that they had fewer patients than the other ones did, and the room was immediately available. We were turned down by a number of them because of my mom's physical limitations. My dad was happy that they were willing to give it a try, and they were willing to give it a try because they had plenty of staff to be able to handle her. The staff was very understanding of the situation that I'm in. I'm not in charge of this. My dad is the one who chooses, and I'm the one that just goes in and agrees with him. It was nice that they understood my predicament because I don't get to pick whether my mom goes in or not, so I thought they were very sweet, caring, and kind. They have a courtyard. I like it because the building is rectangular, and the courtyard is in the center, so there's no way for the patients to sneak out of that outdoor space. I like that. The amenities don't matter to me because it's something my mom is not capable of participating in anymore. But I know there was a lady in there that was painting fingernails for the ladies, and they had a few activities, but my mom is no longer able to do that anymore. It wasn't part of what I was looking for, it was more of having somebody there to watch her all the time and take care of her."

"My Aunt Dorothy is a resident of Shelby Garden. I'm very pleased with the care and attention she has received in the past years. The facility is clean ,the food is delicious, and the staff is loving and caring. I recommend Shelby Garden to anyone looking for care for a a loved one. Augustine"

"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."

"My husband was at Apple Grove during my hospital stay and I found them to be very caring. They took such great care with him and he really enjoyed his visit. I would highly recommend Apple Grove Assisted Living to anyone who wants the best care for their family member. He learned to enjoy all their activities and even a TV room where he could watch is special programs without the others. He was very happy there."

"My mother has been in The Pinnacle of Southaven for a week now. She is still adjusting. The staff is very helpful. My mother seems to be doing as well as she can be. Right now, they're going to give her some more therapy and see if that helps, and they're getting a few things started for her. The room is nice and comfortable. My mother has her own room, and there are open areas that she can go to as well. There's a separate dining room and they encourage everybody to go there for their meals. I talked to the activities director. If they're over in the area where the assisted living is, they'll take the memory care patients over there for activities if it's something special. The main thing that made it the choice for me is its proximity. It's close to where I live. I can go see her any time of the day or night here. I can even take her out to go to appointments or anywhere she wants to go to. Everything that she normally goes to prior to needing 24/7 care is in this area, so that makes it a little easier and less hard on her. It's closer to everything that she needs. Their staff is really great. My mother hasn't had a chance to do a lot of activities, but the activities director is very nice. She sat and talked with me for a while and explained some of the things they do offer, so I'm looking forward to that for my mother."

"BeeHive Homes of Collierville is a new place. It has 23 beds, and they only have 5 people there. So right off the bat, my sister will be getting good attention. They said they could work with the pricing and stuff, so it looks promising. I like that it is well-staffed. It offers single rooms and companion rooms, and they were a little bit bigger. We talked to the chef and one of the caregivers, and they were very friendly. It is located out in the woods. There are a whole lot of trees and stuff around. It is nice and peaceful since it's on a quiet road. My sister has the tendency to wander, so she needs to be in a secure place. BeeHive Homes of Collierville is a secure place. They have two double doors. If you press on the bar, it will set off an alarm. The dining area was open. The surroundings were excellent. All three sides were trees and woods. It is only one way in, and that is via a highway out there. They were also the lowest cost price of all the other facilities."
