A Look Inside Shawnee Memory Care

What Families have to say

"My wife has been living at Shawnee Memory Care for over two years (as of the time of this posting). She has received excellent treatment from a caring and professional staff...
During the years that I was my wife's caregiver, I dreaded the thought of the day that I would have to move her into a care facility. She moved in without any issues. I think she immediately enjoyed being with other people again and being free to roam around. She has never asked to return home, which had been a huge fear for me. I highly recommend Shawnee Memory Care to anyone looking for a dementia care residence. It has been good for she and I both."

What Families have to say

"My mom has been at Shawnee Memory Care for a few years and I couldn't be happier with the care and love she receives from the WONDERFUL staff...

If you're looking for a great place or your loved one, definitely check out SMC. The staff has always been so kind not only to my mom but also to me. I'm very appreciative of everything that they do for us."

What Families have to say

"We have our mom at SMC. The staff there is amazing...

From the beginning when we met with them, they were so helpful with getting her all set up to come there. They worked with us and answered so many phone calls. The staff that cares for our mom is amazing. Every time we come by, they are treating her with loving care. They often have her smiling and laughing. They know us by name and are always so friendly and helpful. They remember that she is a real person with feelings and fears, they don't just treat her like a patient. We are very happy with the care and attention she receives."
