Hearthside Senior Living of Collierville

My brother-in-law moved into Hearthside Senior Living of Collierville. We really loved the community, and it's a great place. They're very caring people, and every time we're out there, they're there to help the people. We've been really impressed with them. The staff is very prompt and they know my brother-in-law. He's doing really well there. They have anything you need for assisted living. My brother-in-law gets breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They have snacks during the day time, and they have activities all the time. If my brother-in-law needs a nurse or someone to come to help him with anything he needs help with, all he needs to do is push his button. They have a doctor on staff and they have nurses 24 hours a day. The apartments are super nice. They have an exercise room where they exercise every single day. They have plenty of activities so there are a lot of fun things going on there. Their pricing is better than anything we've ever seen too.

Culpepper Place is very new, so everything is spotless, and anything that is wrong, they are adjusting or making fixes because they just opened a few months ago. Their dining area was very nice, and they have things set out so that you can snack all day if you wish to or get yourself a cup of coffee or something. It is like most places that there is no smoking in the building. They had a smoking area -- which they are fixing -- but it was very small and not very convenient. But that is my personal problem because I smoke.

Our mother has been at Culpepper place since shortly after it opened in spring 2014. We are very happy with our selection. Pluses: all on one level, floor plan is easy to remember, free shuttle to appointments, nurse on site 24 hours per day, off site lunches frequently arranged, great holiday parties, hair stylist on site. It's a little pricey, but mom is safe and content there.

My aunt has been at Culpepper Place since shortly after they opened. She was very happy in the first few weeks, but because of lack of attention and problems with staff, she is looking elsewhere to live. The place is also pretty big which may be fine for people who are independent, but not for people who need assistance or who may have memory problems. It is sometimes hard to locate staff which is a problem for people who need assistance. The food has also been a disappointment, but that can be expected with a facility like this. The place does give a nice first impression. And seems to be fine for people who do not need much assistance.
