Royal Retreat Assisted Living

Overview of Royal Retreat Assisted Living

Royal Retreat Assisted Living offers independent living in Memphis, TN. Independent living provides private living with community services rather than daily care, so it can suit someone who manages personal needs independently while wanting a residential community.

The community has 99 beds and offers studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom layouts. A studio provides one private living space, while the larger layouts can suit residents who want more room or plan to move in with a companion. Pets are allowed, so a resident may bring a pet when moving in.

Royal Retreat Assisted Living is operated by Rakshan Residency, and Manivannan ( Mike) Sivalingam serves as the administrator. A Walk Score of 37 places the area in a car-dependent setting, meaning most errands require a car or a ride.
