Community Reviews
Very nice place
reviewed on: 07/21/2015 by AnonymousWe used this facility briefly for respite care for a loved one. Kirby Pines is a very nice, upscale community, and my loved one really enjoyed it. However, it was just too expensive to be a permanent option.
We like it
reviewed on: 09/07/2017 by AnonymousThis looks like a really nice community. The people I met have been friendly. This community offers continuing care. We are hoping our loved one will be able to move into this community soon.
A Wonderful Place that Gives & Understands
reviewed on: 07/08/2016 by Glenn HearnEach member of my family would like to thank you for your support of our mom as we deal with her desease and help her cope. It is very difficult to control her actions and speech, but you at Kirby Pines have provided an environment for her to enjoy and meet friends as well as provide activities that helps keep her active which is what she wants. Again we thank you and support what you do.
Impressive architecture but could use some improvements.
reviewed on: 03/03/2017 by AnonymousNo one greeted us when we moved in.They weren't even expecting us to move in.She's supposed to wear a watch but they don't check if She loves the food there. They emphasis they have a lot of activities but It's a very large place and it is difficult for resident sin certain sections to walk to activities in other sections.I asked Pam, the activities director to encourage my mother to get more involved and she has. When you walk in it is very Posh.The central lobby has a impressive double staircase. They have antique furniture everywhere. The assisted living is separated from the nicer part of the community. We didn't realize this while we were doing the tour. You kinda of do the tour and don't know where you're going.
Kirby Pines rehab delivers substandard, inhumane care
reviewed on: 08/16/2018 by AnonymousDo not be fooled by the beautiful grounds and well decorated lobbies at Kirby Pines. My mother in law has lived in the independent section for 14 years and then this year needed to be in rehab. I have been a nurse for 39 years and worked in a variety of settings in the Memphis area. I am embarrassed and ashamed to have these nurses represent the nursing profession and i am speaking of the supervisors and director of nursing. There is absolutely no concern for patients, minimal standards of care are not being met (basics like staff washing their hands), rude and unprofessional behavior, staff asleep at the nurses station, and even basic needs not being met. My mother in law made a choice years ago thinking that by buying into Kirby Pines, she was ensuring that her family wouldn’t be burdened and she could easily move to the next level of care when needed. Clearly the patient room pictures are not published in all the Kirby Pines ads. The furniture is at least from the 60’s, the rooms need painting, the drawers on the dresser don’t even close. The nursing administrators are non responsive, do not care about family’s concerns, won’t answer questions and even stated the president of Kirby Pines doesn’t read emails! Even when trying to understand a process or policy, you get multiple answers or staff members say they don’t know. Just today my mother in law reported asking 3 staff members for water only to receive it hours later. I don’t believe in blasting any business without speaking to management but i have never experienced such blatant disregard and lack of caring for a patient and their family. When upon speaking with management (finally after multiple requests), it was absolutely shocking to hear professionals respond in the way they did. Do not invest one dime in this facility.
