Drive through our entrance gates and you’ll find an oasis of green and a feeling of energy at Kirby Pines. Nestled into some 60 acres in southeastern Memphis, our campus and the lifestyle that comes with it offer you an opportunity to do as you please every day. To make new friends you’ll have for a lifetime. To travel your new neighborhood, or explore the world. To put any care or worry about home maintenance behind you and start life fresh.

What will it be like for you? At Kirby Pines, that’s an answer only you can discover. But rest assured, you’ll fit right in. In fact, we have a saying: Kirby is family
Are you ready to pursue a passion? Chase a dream? Accept an invitation?
Life Enrichment
There’s a difference between really being engaged with life and the world around you, and just staying busy. At Kirby Pines, we encourage the former. Because when we humans are full participants in life, then the lives we lead last longer, are more fulfilling, and the world around us is a better place for it.
Life and living here isn’t confined to our magnificent 60-acre gated campus. Though it could be. But reaching out to other people and places, bringing many of the joys our wonderful city has to offer right to your doorstep, is our cup of tea. Theatre, literature, music, movies, and the people who create them – they all become part of life at Kirby Pines. Here for you to enjoy at your leisure.
Passion? Dreams? Adventure? When you’re ready, we’re ready for you.
Kirby is Family JUST ASK JERRY and MAXIE
For resident Jerry Dunnam and her husband, Maxie, Kirby Pines was the perfect choice. “The lifestyle at Kirby Pines is wonderful—the people here are so friendly, caring, and active. There’s so much to love about Kirby, but my very favorite place—my happy place—is the activities room. I love to paint, and this room is just right down the hall.” Maxie adds, “Kirby Pines meets all of our needs now—with health care for the future if the need arises—all under one roof. Add to that the love we have felt being here and as far as we’re concerned, Kirby is Family.”
What does it really mean to be “well” and how do you get there?
Wellness
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, wellness is a noun defined as “the state of being in good health, especially as an actively pursued goal.”
And there you have it. If being well is something we want, then we are required to participate, to have it as a goal, and to pursue it. If you’re ready to begin or continue toward that goal, there are many new friends and neighbors right here who welcome you to join them.
So if you like:
- The challenge of playing bridge
- Enjoying the fresh air while taking a long walk
- Nurturing a garden or growing plants in a greenhouse
- Chipping within inches of the cup from off the green
- Discussing a recent lecture, author, play, movie, or other cultural experience you just had together
- Pursuing your own artistic expression
- Building your own physical strength and stamina
Or any number of other clubs, groups, classes, outings, events and experiences that fold together to form that mind/body/spirit three-legged stool we all perch on, then come join us.
We’re ready when you are.
Kirby is Family JUST ASK BILL and JEANETTE
Bill and Jeanette Watkins’ experience with Kirby Pines goes back 16 years. As Bill puts it, “When my mother moved to Kirby at age 80, she was able to build a family of new friends and spend time with them each day. And with the continuum of care, she was comforted by a caring, friendly and expert staff as her needs changed.” Jeanette adds, “The number one thing I would tell people about Kirby Pines is that they help residents build relationships. The care, security and lifestyle we experienced here was as good as it gets. To all of us, Kirby is family!”
When residents moved to Kirby Pines, Promises were made.
And today, we’ve kept them.
Hear residents reflect on how Kirby Pines continues to bring them safety, security, beauty, and a strong sense of community to their lives, even during uncertain times.
