A High-Growth Southeast Market Anchored by Nashville and Memphis
Tennessee is one of the Southeast's most dynamic senior housing markets — fueled by no state income tax, massive Nashville growth, and strong in-migration from the Midwest and Northeast. Nashville and Memphis lead deal flow with distinct investment profiles across care levels.
- Tennessee has no state income tax — attracting retirees and investors from high-tax neighboring states
- Nashville's explosive growth is creating a new generation of affluent retirees with strong private-pay capacity
- TDOH licensing is well-established with predictable COO requirements for buyers and sellers
- Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, and Chattanooga offer distinct investment profiles across all care levels
- Strong cap rates relative to Florida at comparable demographic growth rates — significant buyer opportunity

Understanding Tennessee's Senior Housing Licensing Framework
Tennessee licenses Residential Homes for the Aged (RHAs) and Assisted Living Facilities through TDOH based on the level of care provided. The COO process includes application, background checks, and a facility survey. Processing typically takes 60–90 days. Haven manages all TDOH requirements.
Haven's advisory team guides buyers and sellers through every stage of the Tennessee Department of Health (TDOH) change-of-ownership process, ensuring no surprises derail your transaction timeline.
