You might say Kirby Pines was born ready.
When Kirby Pines opened in 1983, we were ready to welcome residents from all walks of life to a place they could leave their cares behind them and pursue their future from a whole new point of view.
And that’s still the idea today.
Situated on 60 green acres in Memphis, Tennessee, Kirby Pines is a LifeCare retirement community where you can keep your focus on all the opportunities life has to offer instead of its challenges. Attractive, spacious apartment and garden homes, a wealth of services and amenities, and priority access to a complete continuum of care including assisted living, memory support, and nursing care provide the peace of mind we all appreciate.
So, if you’re ready to define getting the most out life for yourself, then we’re ready for you.
I moved to Kirby Pines in 2012, but I’ve known for almost 35 years it is where I wanted to spend my retirement years for all Kirby Pines has to offer: friends, fellowship, fun, a caring staff, convenience, daily/weekly/monthly/holiday activities and traditions, and peace of mind for myself and my loved ones.”

What is LifeCare?
LifeCare is a senior living solution that offers residency, services, and care for life. Seniors contract in advance to live in a comfortable residence, enjoy community-based amenities and services and plan for their future needs. As health conditions change, seniors remain on campus—close to friends and neighbors—and move between residential living, assisted living (including memory care), and nursing care.
With LifeCare, monthly fees stay the same as care and service levels increase. When seniors move to assisted living or nursing care, the only additional charge is for two extra meals per day and any ancillary costs such a medical supplies and pharmacy services. While monthly fees don’t increase for changes in levels of care, the monthly fee continues to be subject to an annual adjustment.
LifeCare helps shield seniors from spiraling health care costs and provides the assurance that they will receive the care they need through the services available at Kirby Pines – even if they outlive their financial resources.
