The Glenmary At Evergreen, found at 1550 North Parkway in Midtown Memphis within the Vollintine Evergreen National Historic District, serves people aged 55 and older with independent living, assisted living, and memory care options. This gated senior community has a private locked entry gate right onto the Vollintine & Evergreen Greenline, offering a safe and welcoming environment with handicap accessible facilities and apartments on the ground floor. The apartments come in studio, 1-, 2-, or 3-bedroom layouts, ranging from 574 to 1221 square feet, and each place has air conditioning, full kitchens with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, cable TV, Wi-Fi, emergency call systems, and private patios or balconies. Residents can bring close pets, and every apartment has wheelchair accessible showers for easier use.
The community takes care of regular chores with award-winning housekeeping, doing things like bi-weekly bathroom cleaning, dusting, vacuuming, kitchen sanitizing, and linen service. Staff offer laundry, dry cleaning, and room service. A Senior Living Counselor manages the community with a trained team assisting residents. There's 24-hour nursing staff and aides for help with health needs, medication support, wellness checks, and personal care. Memory care communities have secure areas and specially trained staff for people with dementia or Alzheimer's. The assisted living floors focus on daily help, medication management, and well-being, while independent living keeps people as self-sufficient as they wish, with room for outside home care services like companionship and non-medical care.
Common spaces include a communal dining hall where an executive chef prepares three meals a day, a Grand Lobby, the Midtown Room for special occasions, and the Parkway Club with a dance floor and stage for entertainment and parties like birthday celebrations, bingo, and book readings. There's also a game and recreation room, a crafts room with arts and crafts projects, a movie theater, and a full library with a book collection. Residents can keep busy with daily exercise, pet-friendly spaces, educational programs, and wellness activities guided by the staff. They can swim in the outdoor pool and relax in the cabana, get their hair done in the salon, work out in the fully equipped fitness center, or shop at the Country Store for snacks and personal items. There's a bistro and a library café with free coffee and cappuccino.
Residents get transportation with a fleet of three buses taking them to local malls, restaurants, and community spots, or they can use the 24-hour concierge service for help with packages, mail, or other needs. Family outreach and education support help loved ones stay in touch and informed. The community aims to make daily life simple and engaging, meeting both personal and social needs for seniors in a secure, neighborly setting.
