Wesley Highland Place sits in Memphis, TN, over in the University block, and it's a spot for seniors who want either assisted living, independent living, skilled nursing, or memory care, and you can find a real mix of services for just about any need, whether folks only want a short stay or they're searching for a long-term home. The building itself has a homey feeling, with warm and cozy decor, and the place is always clean and set up to help residents feel comfortable and as independent as possible, and there are outdoor and indoor common areas with plenty of space-including lounge chairs and a dining area where people gather for meals and to spend time with each other. There's a strong focus on social life and wellness, so you'll find games like bingo, music sessions, movie nights, art classes, and singing, not to mention devotional activities both on site and out in the community, plus programs for exercise, transportation outings for shopping or appointments, and regular group events. Residents get three daily meals cooked on-site, with vegetarian choices, and special diets for diabetes or high blood pressure, and helpers are always there for personal care needs like bathing, dressing, medication, and incontinence care, as well as for diabetic and ambulatory care, and memory support for people with dementia.
You can bring cats and dogs as long as they meet the pet policy, and there's a beautician on the grounds as well as a mobile hairdresser who drops in, so folks can keep up with haircuts whenever needed, and the rooms all have private bathrooms, cable TV, and their own temperature controls, plus wheelchair accessible showers for residents who need them. For spiritual support, there's a Pastoral Care ministry with Bible study groups, worship, and even family support, and security comes from a 24-hour call light system. There are 20 units that include 16 private rooms and four suites, and with about 132 beds in total, Wesley Highland Place manages to feel like a smaller community, where staff know the residents and aim to provide help in a caring, personal way, whether that's running a game, helping out with laundry, or just making time to talk. Transportation for medical appointments and outings is available, and there's parking for residents and guests, plus proximity to public transit for those who want to stay connected with the city. Residents can also access continuing care, like hospice or respite, as well as services at Trezevant Manor and options at other nearby communities like Ascension Towers, Wesley Highland Manor, Wesley Highland Towers, and Wesley Highland Terrace. The place really tries to make life easier and more comfortable for seniors, meeting care needs and daily routines so folks can enjoy a safe and welcoming home.
