Where individuals find community, family and home.

A Positive Approach. Endless Possibilities.

At West Tennessee Family Solutions, we focus on abilities, not limitations. We believe every individual deserves the opportunity to live a meaningful, fulfilling life with dignity, independence, and personal choice.

Through compassionate, person-centered services, we meet individuals where they are while empowering them to achieve their goals, discover new opportunities, and reach their fullest potential.

Our commitment is to create an environment where individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities feel valued, supported, and empowered to live life on their own terms.

Teaching—teaching functional skills and behaviors with positivity

Self-determination—giving individuals as much control over their lives as possible

Relationships—promoting relationships with individuals that are maintained through trust, respect and positive regard within professional boundaries

Individual advocacy—promoting and protecting individual rights and dignity

Family-sensitive approach—recognizing the importance of family to the individual
