Exploring this area CoC TN-501

Shelby County (Memphis) is one of the Tennessee markets Mai Heaven is researching. We hold no licence and have no home open here yet — this page is so a case manager, discharge planner, or family can see how placement works locally and refer someone, or join the waiting list for the day we open. Memphis anchors a major regional medical hub served by Regional One Health, Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare, and Baptist Memorial Health Care, generating steady hospital-discharge and behavioral-health referrals.

No home is open in Shelby County yet. We are still bringing homes online here. If you need help right now, these are the numbers to call today — and you can put a name on the waiting list below so we reach out the moment a place opens.
