Hello, this is Susan McQueen, and I wanted to comment on the new things going on at convalescent center in Memphis, Texas. It has been a great experience from years in the past. I never wanted to come back out here because of what was going on years ago. And it's wonderful. Now my husband's out here. I'm very thankful because I can come see him every day. And the nurses and staff are awesome. The work that's going on out here is just amazing, and I'm thankful for this place being here.

My mother spent six years as a resident of Memphis Convalescent Center. Nothing but quality, loving care from the administration and staff. She used to tell me she loved her new home.

Without a doubt, the cleanest convalescent center I have ever seen. Staff from management to nursing, dining, or maintenance has always treated my loved one with dignity and love. They have an activity director that works extremely hard at filling each day with projects to look forward to. It is my pleasure to recommend this home to anyone looking for assistance.
