About Tennessee State Veterans' Home

+
The Tennessee State Veterans' Home in Clarksville, Tennessee is a state-operated assisted living community purpose-built to honor and serve the men and women who have dedicated their lives to protecting our country. Located at 250 Arrowood Drive in Clarksville — a city with deep military roots as the gateway to Fort Campbell — this community provides a uniquely supportive environment where veterans live among peers who understand the shared experience of military service. Operated under the oversight of the Tennessee Department of Veterans Services, the home delivers assisted living care with a commitment to preserving the independence, dignity, and well-being of each resident. Staff members are trained to understand the unique physical and emotional needs that veterans may carry, ensuring a compassionate, respectful atmosphere at every level of care. Clarksville's connection to the military community is unmatched in Tennessee. Fort Campbell, home of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), sits just minutes from the Veterans' Home, and Blanchfield Army Community Hospital provides veterans in the area with accessible, specialized medical care. The Department of Veterans Affairs also maintains robust services in the region, helping residents navigate benefits, healthcare coordination, and financial support. The city itself is a wonderful place for veterans and their families. Liberty Park along the Cumberland River offers quiet waterfront walks and outdoor recreation. Downtown Clarksville features the Customs House Museum and Cultural Center, one of the largest non-profit museums in Tennessee, giving residents and visiting family members a rich cultural resource. Restaurants such as Blackhorse Pub & Brewery and a variety of dining options near Governor's Square Mall make family visits enjoyable outings. For families of veterans across Middle Tennessee and beyond, the Tennessee State Veterans' Home represents a rare opportunity — a facility designed from the ground up to serve those who served us, located in a city that has always stood beside its military community.
