Friends For All has been a deeply painful and frustrating experience over the past three years…read more During this time, I repeatedly submitted grievances regarding staff behavior, including what I experienced as discriminatory language and treatment, including homophobic slurs. These concerns were consistently ignored or not meaningfully addressed, which left me feeling dismissed and unsupported. Instead of resolution, I experienced ongoing conflict, inconsistent communication, and what felt like being treated as a problem rather than a person in need of support. This contributed heavily to my isolation and worsening mental health during an already difficult period of homelessness and instability. Two staff members in particular, Patrice (Rec Room Manager) and her supervisor T'shaka Chambers, were central figures in my experience. I felt that their handling of situations often escalated distress rather than resolving concerns, and I experienced their approach as significantly harmful to my well being. There also appeared to be a pattern where concern or support was expressed until issues were questioned or reported, after which communication became strictly procedural or dismissive. This inconsistency made it difficult to trust the support system that was supposed to be in place. As someone who is part of the LGBTQ+ community, I also experienced this loss of support as the loss of what was once a safe space. Over time, that sense of safety and belonging disappeared, leaving me feeling isolated during an already vulnerable period of my life. I am sharing this because I believe accountability, consistency, and respectful treatment are essential especially in spaces meant to serve vulnerable communities.

The Special Olympics of Greater Memphis does such wonderful work and their mission (as stated on their website) is "to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy, and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills, and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes, and the community." The Polar Bear Plunge raises money for them by having hundreds of waaaaaay braver people than me head over to Mud Island River Park and plunge into the Wolf River. It looked like fun...and people were lining up...but I just watched from the sidelines because...I'm a chicken. And a weeny, and I don't like to be cold...or wet. Maybe next year! Oh, and people get really dressed up! There's the Golden Plunger Award for the best costume! I loved watching groups in themes. Don't forget to arrive early so you can vote in the People's Choice portion of the Chili Cook-Off! It really is a full day of fun (donut eating contest, good music, cupcakes)...and you're benefitting a great cause! Win win!! :)

It had no flavor, seasoning or visual appeal. Elementary school cafeteria food is more appealing and better tasting. For one of the most expensive assisted living communities in Memphis one would think they could afford a decent chef or at least get a school cafeteria line cook to get a more quality end product. They advertise and highly tout while visiting their property that they provide support to residents in this section. This is not the case. They do not ensure residents get to their doctors appointments when the Terrace requires residents must use Terrace transportation. Every department; transportation, nursing and aids all blame the other departments for this failure. It is of upmost importance that these residents make their doctors appointments since most are in the Terrace for medical reasons. Senior management is responsible for this facility and should take responsibility, which they don't. They also "put the blame" on the employees. This is a sure sign of a very weak management team. People DIE when they don't make doctors appointments! It is such an easy fix but obviously no one at this facility cares about the residents for which they are responsible but they sure "sell" their concern for each resident when you are touring the facility. BEWARE when searching for a retirement facility for your loved ones!! Trezevant talks a wonderful game but strikes out on delivery of care and product.
