Recent reviews of Independent Living in Memphis, TN
Shelby Gardens Place in Cordova, TN
4.0

The floor in our loved ones room is always pretty sticky so the house keeping could be improved as well as the laundry - it is not kept up well enough as we had thought.

The food is good. The value for the money is good. We picked this community because, during the tour it was the people, friendliness, the environment seemed very good, and they were very welcoming. I have not been dissapointed. It's a wonderful place. I would highly reccommend to other families. Visit and talk to them. They are doing a fabulous job.

5.0

Shelby Gardens might not be the newest, fanciest assisted living facility, but it does have the best staff. In fact, they just won a bunch of awards! The staff really care for my mom and look out for her best interests - and she’s not always the easiest to get along with. Shelby Gardens has transformed my life and my mom’s.
