The Best Memory Care Communities in Shelby County, 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."

"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."

"My uncle is at Ciel Senior Living of Collierville. We chose this one because it was the closest, it had happy hours which he wanted, and the price was right. It ticked all the boxes. The size of the apartments was the right size. The location of the apartment was a good place for him. More than any other place, it hit all the things that we needed for him. The condition of the place is very nice, very comfortable and clean. When we were moving him in, they gave us sandwiches. With regards to activities, my uncle hasn't been too much of anything except for the happy hour. It's very good value for the money. However, I moved him in on Monday, but they didn't have the activity calendar at that point, which I thought they should have had before the beginning of the month."
