Recent reviews of Nursing Homes in Shelby County, TN
The Gardens of Germantown
3.7

We were there for a very short period of time less than 2 months. the majority of this time mom had been placed in hospice care with Compassus. The things we liked most was we were told there would be a nurse on duty 24 hrs a day in moms unit. There were only 10 residents in moms unit. The layout of the facility. It was very open, the living area and dining room was located in the center and all of the residents rooms surrounded the dining and living room. there were no long halls.

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.

I live out of state, but my sister and brother both live in Memphis and visit our mom frequently. There have been several issues that have come up, but they have now been resolved. I am pleased that my mom has gained weight and talks much clearer when I am on the phone with her.
