The Best Memory Care Communities in Shelby County, TN

"We were very impressed with Brookdale Dogwood Creek. It was kind of new and looked very nice. The administrator was the one who took us on the tour. The rooms were small, but they looked like they would be fine. There was a library, a swimming pool, a workout room, a craft room, and nice patio areas."

"My husband is in Gardens of Germantown. I’m very happy with it. It seems like they have a strong business management team, which I was most happy about. The food is adequate. "

"Heritage at Irene Woods was very nice. The staff was very nice and cordial, and they did a good job of showing me around. The only thing I didn't like was the location, but the facilities were very nice. They have a very nice dining area with very good food. All their amenities were fine, although I was looking for a swimming pool."

"We looked at The Goldton At Southaven. It was a good location. The people were very nice. The place was very clean. It had a dining area, a little community area where they could sit and play games, and an outside seating area. We saw two units, and they were a fairly nice size. The staff who toured us was very knowledgeable and friendly and answered all our questions."

"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. "

"My 99-year-old Aunt Sarah recently had to come to The Pointe at Kirby Gate to the memory care unit. I say "had to" because she wasn't anxious to leave her own home. I have several comments: 1) The staff was extremely helpful to us in planning and executing her move. They gave us excellent advice as to what to bring and what not to bring, how to arrange her room to make her most comfortable with her new surroundings, and how to time the move to be the least upsetting for her. They also were very helpful in working out the logistics of moving her things in. 2) The ability (indeed the requirement) that we furnish her room, and the recommendation that it be with things she is familiar with and loves, has helped her make the adjustment quite well. 3) The staff are extremely pleasant and professional, and treat the residents with great respect. 4) During the move-in, we were given the door codes so we could come and go at our pleasure. Beyond the convenience, it gave us reassurance (based on evidence) that things weren't being "hidden" from family when nobody was around. Put another way: no "scheduled" visiting hours. 5) The food is very good -- at least, Aunt Sarah has been eating well and has commented favorably about it. The place is also very clean and always smells clean and fresh. 6) My final point is that, if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask the staff. They are always very helpful. "

"The sales staff was friendly on the phone. They even call this their home when they live out of state. I was impressed with their home like feel. They are under renovation but it seemed to look nice. I was hoping the rooms would be larger, but I was assured residents stay out of their rooms most of the time. They have two food choices and the activity director had many residents laughing and playing a game. "

"Kirby Pines Estates is very nice. They're a bit more upscale so their operating cost is a bit higher. They're able to provide more amenities, plus they had both independent and assisted living. I was impressed with the whole setup of the community. The staff was wonderful, I didn't stay for dinner but they had an open-house and they served hors d'oeuvres. It was really awesome, it was very good and I was very impressed. Their apartments were really nice, and they were also getting ready to do even more improvements. If I had my choice of the places I have visited, this place would be my number 1 choice. They have all kinds of activities, they have bowling, swimming, travel groups, and so on."

"My aunt is a resident at Apple Grove and we could not be more pleased with the care she is receiving. The management is always involved and the caregivers are all attentive and seem to genuinely love the residents. The place is beautiful and there is a great courtyard with walking paths. I would highly recommend Apple Grove."

"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."

"My mother likes the Hermitage Gardens of Southaven. Everything is on one floor. There are no elevators or stairs. She also likes the people. She is excited about moving in next week. "
