Metro Community Care Home

Metro Community Care Home sits in Memphis, Tennessee, operating as both a nursing home and an assisted living community with room for up to 30 residents, and it doesn't hold BBB accreditation but sticks to state licensing requirements including regular safety and health inspections and caregiver ratios. The facility runs under the leadership of Ms. Odessa Pennington as President, with Ms. Linda Fason as Secretary, and its staff works around the clock to look after residents' health, safety, and comfort, handling nursing, wound care, medication, occupational therapy, diabetic management, and continence care, along with help for Parkinson's disease and dementia or Alzheimer's. The home does hospice and respite stays, supports skilled nursing, home care, companion care, and home health services, and offers personal care services including help with bathing, clothing, mobility, spoon feeding when needed, toileting, incontinence, and medication supervision, plus fall prevention programs and monthly physician checkups with routine health monitoring and personalized care plans after a custom needs assessment. Residents get to pick from semi-private and private rooms, including studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts, and the rooms all have safety features like ADA-compliant bathrooms and pull cords for help, while the communal setting lets everyone join community dining, a bistro, private dining area, and snack breaks, plus three regular homemade meals, vegetarian and pureed food options, dietitian support, and kitchenettes for snacks or tea if they like. There's a chapel, library, games and activities rooms, theater, salon and beauty shop, fitness center, wellness room, sauna or hot tub, outdoor gardens, decks, and areas where pets are welcome, so residents can play bingo or card games, join arts, music, and education programs, or try music and animal therapy, with social events running each day, community evening gatherings, fitness schedules, and off-site trips offered regularly and transportation for shopping, doctor visits, or spiritual outings. For those who need more, there's mobility help, assistance with moving between beds and chairs, standby help for transfers, and two-person assist when the schedule permits, and care plans include medication management, help with blood sugar, and tailored diets for medical needs. Residents can get their laundry taken care of, bedrooms cleaned, and maintenance handled, and there's a concierge to help with requests, general personal care, and moving assistance. Metro Community Care Home allows smoking outdoors and lets pets live with their people, provides internet, cable TV, washers and dryers, and keeps the property secure with sprinklers, emergency pull cords, 24/7 staff, and parking for visitors. This care home takes a resident-first approach, aiming for a warm, community feel that tries to keep everyone safe, well looked after, and comfortable, drawing on decades of senior care practices.
