Connie, Daughter of ResidentMaybelle Carter Living

I was so worried that my mom would feel abandoned and now I can’t get her on the phone! Now she’s too busy for me! When I call her, she doesn’t have time to talk because she’s doing exercise or listening to music or it’s time for Bingo! What a blessing!

With your first step into the building you feel a sense of home. Every person you meet has a genuine smile, staff and residents alike. There’s always laughter and stories. As an employee of Traditions, I love being here watching my residents enjoy there days. I’m in awe everyday that this community is here for our residents.

My mother is at Texas Star, and it is very good and most accommodating. The rooms are a good size and clean. They ask the residents' input about different places that they want to go. They have some exercise classes, movie nights, and trips to the senior center.

My father is a resident at Traditions of Spring Hill. He is a hard man to please, to say the least, and he is VERY happy there.

Paul, Son of ResidentTraditions of Spring Hill

My experience at the Gardens of Germantown has been as great as the employees have taken care of my mother for the past three years. She is very happy with her new friends and the staff. I highly recommend the Gardens to anyone seeking excellent care for their family members.

Son of ResidentThe Gardens of Germantown

You can’t have a better experience than visiting a new resident (that you referred) and seeing how happy they are and how well they’re being treated. No paycheck is worth more than that. Everyone is buzzing about the high quality of service

Evelyn, Local professional Traditions of Smyrna

Here at Maybelle Carter, I see every day those of you who work here -yes, I know you are hired to help us residents- but you do these acts of kindness with a smile and never a complaint.

Norma, ResidentMaybelle Carter Living

I never dreamed my dad would like it this much. And why not? The place is beautiful, clean, lots of activities, things to do, places to hang out. Great dining facility. Really couldn't ask for more. Highly recommended.
