Opus East Memphis offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care under one roof, with a clinical program designed to address complex health needs. Residents with wandering behaviors, elopement risks, combative tendencies, or other behavioral issues are accepted, and the community is able to manage up-all-night patterns, wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and both oral and injectable diabetes management—including sliding-scale insulin. The Memory Care neighborhood is equipped to serve individuals with advanced dementia conditions, and the team accepts adults younger than 60 when appropriate.
Care delivery is supported by a registered nurse or licensed practical nurse on site around the clock, awake night staff, and electronic safety measures such as door alarms, Wander Guard, personal emergency response systems, and pull-cord alerts. Residents have access to visiting podiatry and dental providers, as well as an on-site therapy room for rehabilitation. Full assistance is offered with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and the team can perform walker and wheelchair escorts, standby support, and one-person transfers. Background checks are required for all team members, and the perimeter is fenced front and rear to maintain a secure setting.
Apartments are available in several layouts, and some include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, cable service, in-unit laundry, and housekeeping. Other units rely on scheduled laundry service and community-style amenities. Since floor plans vary, not every accommodation offers every listed feature; prospective residents should confirm specific inclusions during a tour.
Daily meals are served restaurant-style with both set menus and made-to-order selections, and snacks are available throughout the day. Room service and a private dining room accommodate recovery periods and family gatherings. The dietary department can prepare gluten-free, mechanical-chopped, puréed, thickened-liquid, vegetarian, and other doctor-ordered modifications. Independent Living residents may add medication-management monitoring, housekeeping, laundry, and a monthly meal plan to match their personal schedules and budgets.
Community amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise and wellness rooms, movie and library spaces, a full spa with massage, nail salon, meditation room, pet-grooming station, on-site storage, communal gardens, special-interest clubs, internet access, a pool, and concierge services. Transportation is provided through a scheduled shuttle for medical appointments and local errands. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
