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.
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.
We like it

Kirby Pines Guarantee: A Fraudulent Advertising Gimmick Lures Seniors
reviewed on: 06/24/2017 by Linda EasonI am an elderly eighty-five year old lady who has been victimized by the management of Kirby Pines Retirement Center, Memphis, Tennessee. In November 2015, I signed a contract with Kirby Pines. The contract was presented with a gold encrusted diploma, signed by the corporation's President and was called a "Guarantee of Satisfaction" which stated that if for any reason I was dissatisfied with Kirby Pines I could terminate my contract, move out and get all my entry fee plus $500 to move. Among a list of many disappointments, the main reason I was dissatisfied with Kirby Pines was the virtual absence of any personal direction and attention by the director or assistant director of the facility. Isn't this the key reason for being there? To keep us seniors active? I never saw any of the directors and it even took the Chaplain five months to welcome me to the facility. Retirement Centers are not for everybody and after the non existent attention, I found Kirby Pines to be not for me. Regardless of my list of complaints, my Resident Agreement specifically stated that I was not required to list the reasons for my dissatisfaction, just simply redeem the Guarantee within one year, move out and receive my entry fee in full plus the additional $500 to help me move. The Guarantee was also verbally communicated to me many times over, throughout the sales process, by the sales agent when I signed my contract and selected my apartment at the facility. The promise to refund all my money in full if for any reason I was dissatisfied was also announced aggressively at the promotional meetings for prospective new residents I attended. It was stated there that if for any reason Any of us were the least bit dissatisfied with Kirby Pines we could state that we were, terminate, and receive a full refund of our money. I understand that this aggressive verbal activity and the inclusion of the Guarantee are still being advertised and used. I submitted a written letter of termination in July 2015 and informed the management that I had done so and wanted to redeem the Guarantee. Fast forward two years. I have received partial amounts of my money after having to spend thousands of dollars and countless hours of time with many attorneys in order to only get back my refund in pieces. This has devastated me financially. Kirby Pines still has not finished my refund and to date still owes me $8,051.74. A small amount to some but enormous to an elderly person like me. The management at Kirby Pines acknowledges that they still owe me my money but after begging them and visiting the office many times to ask for my money back have refused to return my money voluntarily, I have done everything correctly according to the stipulations in the Guarantee and desperately need the last remaining part of my money returned. I now believe the Guarantee to be a fraudulent advertising gimmick. I am going to continue to strongly urge Kirby Pines to stand by the Guarantee. Returning my money is the right thing to do. I will continue to pursue and make a commitment to report to all agencies I can, the manner in which I have been mistreated and manipulated so as to warn my fellow seniors and the elder community about the false claims promised by this Guarantee and the manner in which Kirby Pines continues to advertise it.
