Allen Morgan Health Center

Allen Morgan Health Center, located at 177 N Highland St in Midtown Memphis, sits on the Trezevant campus in a tree-lined neighborhood and has 104 beds for nursing and rehabilitation services, and you'll find that it runs as both a skilled nursing home and a LifeCare community, so seniors who come here get choices like independent living, assisted living, memory care, and even home health, hospice, and respite stays if they need a short-term break. The place has private and semi-private rooms, all with housekeeping, maintenance, safety features, and even some kitchen or kitchenette options, and if you want cable TV, that's already set up for you. Meals come with daily menu choices and dining rooms like the Snowden Dining Room or options at the Trezevant Bistro, and there are also private dining spaces if you want to host family or special gatherings. The whole property has amenities like a beauty and barber salon, an art studio, a woodworking shop, a billiards and card room, and places to exercise with a fitness center, aquatic center, and a walk-in wellness center, plus there's even a chapel called St. Edward Chapel for folks who want a quiet spot or pastoral support. Social life doesn't stop either, since staff run arts and crafts, health and wellness programs, games, education, and a specialized activities program, and it's a gated place, so security and guest parking are in place, and there's WiFi everywhere. The nurses stay on duty twenty-four hours a day, and there's always access to support for bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting, while the Center brings in specialty care like podiatry, dental, ophthalmology, wound care, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, with an on-site medical director and chaplain available for counseling. They'll help get residents to doctors' appointments with their transportation services, and there are personal companions folks can hire if they want extra support, plus laundry and dry cleaning, and washers and dryers available too. The Center accepts Medicare and works with most long-term care insurance, but doesn't participate with Medicaid, and the rooms' monthly rates run from about $5,500 to $8,900. Allen Morgan offers inpatient and outpatient rehab services, restorative care, and even palliative and hospice care through approved providers, so whether someone needs memory care for dementia or Alzheimer's or just wants the flexibility and safety that comes with stepping up to more care as needed, the staff and setting try to keep a focus on quality of life, giving a mix of privacy and services when people need them most.
