About Highlands Health and Rehabilitation Center

+
Highlands Health and Rehabilitation Center provides expert skilled nursing care and rehabilitation services from its location at 3549 Norriswood in the heart of East Memphis — one of the city's most desirable and resource-rich neighborhoods for seniors and their families. Managed by Champion Care, a company committed to delivering compassionate, high-quality post-acute services, Highlands offers a welcoming environment where residents receive individualized attention and evidence-based therapy. The facility's East Memphis address puts it in an exceptionally convenient setting. Methodist University Hospital, a major regional medical center, is just minutes away on Union Avenue, allowing for rapid hospital-to-rehabilitation transitions and ongoing physician coordination. The East Memphis corridor along Poplar Avenue offers families an abundance of dining, shopping, and service options — from the boutiques and cafes near Laurelwood Shopping Center to the Whole Foods Market and East Memphis restaurants that make this one of Memphis's most livable districts. For moments of outdoor enjoyment, Overton Park — home to the Memphis Zoo, the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, and miles of wooded trails — is a short drive away, offering a natural retreat that mobile residents and visiting family members genuinely appreciate. The Dixon Gallery and Gardens, another beloved East Memphis institution, provides serene botanical grounds perfect for a quiet afternoon stroll. Champion Care brings a philosophy of person-centered care to Highlands, investing in staff training and clinical programs that support residents recovering from orthopedic surgery, stroke, cardiac events, and other acute health episodes. The interdisciplinary team — including nurses, therapists, social workers, and dietitians — works in close collaboration with residents and families to build recovery plans that prioritize meaningful goals and a safe return to community living wherever possible. Highlands Health and Rehabilitation Center is a trusted choice for East Memphis families seeking skilled nursing care with heart.
