Overview of Opus East Memphis

Opus East Memphis occupies a 3-story building at 1029 Cherry Rd in the Audubon Park neighborhood, 9.3 miles from downtown Memphis, Tennessee. The community emerged two years ago and represents a newer addition to Shelby County’s assisted living landscape. Kim Tanner leads the facility. The facility holds a Better Business Bureau rating of A (Not Accredited), assessed on complaint history and business transparency.

The neighborhood is car-dependent (walk score 21), requiring transportation for most errands.

Opus East Memphis operates across three distinct residential care tiers. Independent living accommodates active adults 55 and older prioritizing community engagement without personal care requirements; amenities include fitness facilities and recreational programming. Assisted living provides hands-on support for activities of daily living: medication management, bathing, dressing, grooming, and meal preparation within the framework of 24-hour staff availability. Memory care serves residents with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias in a controlled, secured setting staffed by personnel trained in cognitive impairment management, with routines and environmental design aimed at reducing confusion and wandering.

Unit configurations span studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom floor plans. Housekeeping and laundry support are included. Transportation services connect residents to external appointments and activities. Recreational programming and dining services operate across the community.

Opus East Memphis does not carry Medicare or Medicaid certification and does not accept those payment sources. The community operates on a private-pay model. Residents and families must arrange payment through private funds or alternative financial assistance mechanisms available at the state level.

Opus East Memphis suits independent living seekers, assisted living candidates, and memory care residents in the Memphis area pursuing residential options with private payment arrangements.
