Trezevant

Trezevant sits in Memphis, Tennessee, and folks know it as a small, nonprofit, faith-based community with a blend of modern charm and traditional Southern style, where the staff always seem welcoming, helpful, and kind, and they offer independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing and rehabilitation through the Allen Morgan Health and Rehabilitation Center's 104 beds, which have both private and semi-private rooms. The LifeCare agreement stands out because it gives a way to save money on future healthcare, and the whole place sticks to a LifeCare community model so people can get housing and health care together, helping them stay in one spot even if their health needs change. Trezevant has all the usual support for daily activities like bathing and dressing, plus medication management, 24-hour licensed nurses, restorative care, inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation, respite stays, and hospice services through approved providers, with specialty doctors on-site such as podiatry, dental, and eye care, an on-site medical director, and coordination with outside health providers, as well as a chaplain offering pastoral care and counseling. The memory care program, including the Orchid studio apartment, pays close attention to safety and calmness for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia, and bedrooms look peaceful, decorated with soft lighting, gentle colors, artwork, and pillows, while the dining room uses elegant touches like dark linens and seasonal centerpieces to make meals look and feel special. There's a brightly lit therapy pool in the Nursing and Rehab building for aquatic therapy, while independent living residents can visit the St. Edward Chapel with its wooden pews and baptismal font for faith and reflection. The campus includes the Terrace for assisted living and Trezevant Place with spacious apartment homes, which come in a choice of one, two, or three bedrooms; there are fifty-five floor plans all told, most with high ceilings, crown moldings, efficiency kitchenettes, and access to all community spaces. Residents enjoy daily planned activities, with some programs even using equine therapy for dementia care, and regular outings to places like the Memphis Botanic Garden, ballparks, local concerts, or movie matinees; the memory care program and overall activities plan have even won some state and national awards. Meals are prepared by chefs and meal planners three times each day, and residents get menu choices, while the community remains pet-friendly and offers help with housekeeping, laundry, and transportation for things like doctor visits. There's an on-site post office, computer center, beauty and barber shop, garden patios, café, card rooms, and activity spaces designed for comfort and convenience. Trezevant's healthcare center holds the only Five-Star rating for a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) in Memphis, and it's fully accredited by CCAC, having also received recent Silver and Bronze Quality Awards from the AHCA/NCAL, so people can expect a certain standard of care. The place accepts Medicare and self-pay, will work with most long-term care insurance, doesn't take Medicaid, and staff keep things running all day and night, seven days a week. Residents and families say there's a welcome sense of community and family here, and the leadership team with Kirk Pafford, LPN, BS, and Crystal Birch, RN, work hard to maintain that balance of comfort, safety, and faith-based support so that even as folks' needs grow, there's a way forward right here.
