Our Story

What matters is not who we are. What matters is who we serve.

Destination HealthCare Services was founded on a simple conviction: that adults with complex needs in Tennessee deserve better than being turned away or passed from provider to provider. Since 2018, we've built our homes, our team, and our clinical model around that belief — quietly, and without needing our names on the door. What matters is not who we are. What matters is who we serve.

Our Mission

Serve abundantly. Care wholeheartedly.

To serve abundantly and care wholeheartedly for everyone within our care. We uphold integrity, professionalism, and courtesy at the highest standard — providing equal, quality care, and continuously encouraging the people we support to become the best versions of themselves.

Our Vision

A true home, not a placement.

To provide a true home for adults with medically complex conditions within DDA guidelines — where residents receive professional, precise care from every member of our team, and where they can grow, learn, and build experiences. Residents actively choose their day-to-day activities, with a focus on improved function, independence, and satisfaction, and with safety as the top priority.

Our Approach

Built for high acuity, audit-ready every day.

We built our clinical model specifically for high-acuity behavioral and medical support, including the ECF CHOICES Group 6 population. Every home operates on a zero-restraint philosophy, supported by smart-home safety technology, biometric medication administration (E-MAR), and routine mock surveys that keep our teams audit-ready every day — not just when a review is scheduled.

Who We Serve

Adults 18 and older, across Middle Tennessee

We serve adults 18 and older across Middle Tennessee who need residential and community-based support — including people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, medically complex conditions, physical disabilities, traumatic brain injury, dementia, and age-related needs. Every person's care is built around their own Person-Centered Support Plan, because no two journeys look the same.

Our Founders

Built by two people who prepared for this work

Our organization was built by two people who spent their careers preparing for exactly this work:

  • One founder brings 15 years of clinical experience as a Registered Nurse (RN) — the medical rigor that keeps our most complex members safe.
  • The other brings 15 years of operational excellence in care, backed by an MBA — the discipline that turns good intentions into dependable, everyday service.

Together, they built DHS to do one thing exceptionally well: care for the people other providers find too complex.
