South Breeze Senior Living in Memphis delivers two levels of residential care—Assisted Living and Memory Care—under the same roof. Residents who simply need help with day-to-day tasks share the campus with individuals living with mild, moderate, or advanced dementia, allowing couples and friends with different care needs to remain close. Memory Care programming is structured to reduce exit-seeking behaviors, address wandering at any hour, and support residents who may become combative or display other behavioral challenges. The clinical team is also equipped to serve adults younger than 60 who require an assisted-living setting.
Medical oversight is reinforced by an RN or LPN on staff and a nurse on call 24 hours a day. Staff members stay awake overnight, undergo background checks, and use door alarms, wander-guard systems, and a fenced rear courtyard to maintain security. The community accepts residents who need oxygen, wound care, special diets, or diabetic management whether by oral medication, insulin injections, or sliding-scale adjustments. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and can complete transfers involving walkers, wheelchairs, standby help, or one-person lifts. A visiting podiatrist and an on-site therapy room reduce outside appointments, while a personal emergency response system (PERS) alerts staff when immediate help is required.
Apartments vary in size and layout, but every floor plan is designed for wheelchair access. Many suites include a private bathroom, kitchenette, furnished living space, individual climate controls, and cable service, and all receive routine housekeeping and scheduled laundry service; however, not every unit has every listed feature, so touring families should confirm specifics during their visit.
Meals follow a set menu prepared with physician-ordered diet modifications ranging from gluten-free and vegetarian selections to mechanical-chopped, puréed, or thickened-liquid options. Residents may dine in the main restaurant-style room, reserve a private dining area for family events, or request in-room meal delivery. Snacks are available throughout the day to support diabetic management and late-night appetites.
Community amenities include fully wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty salon, high-speed internet access, and landscaped communal gardens. Concierge services help arrange appointments and outings, and scheduled transportation is provided for medical visits via the community shuttle.
