Why Seasons of Grace exists.

Seasons of Grace works to provide high-quality, community-integrated support for aging adults and people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in Memphis, Tennessee — including supportive living, independent life-skills development, personal development, family and caregiver support, care navigation, advocacy, and workforce pathways.

In Memphis neighborhoods such as South Memphis and Orange Mound, many lower-income families care for both an aging adult and a loved one with IDD at the same time, often without safe, affordable specialized options. Aging caregivers are stretched beyond their limits while needing care themselves.

Tennessee's Department of Disability and Aging also enforces a "500-Yard Rule" that keeps new IDD locations from clustering near existing providers, which makes building compliant care networks in dense urban neighborhoods difficult. Seasons of Grace exists to help bridge these gaps through partnership and community-building.

Dignity

Every person is treated as the author of their own life, whatever their age or ability.

Inclusion

People with intellectual and developmental disabilities belong in the heart of community life.

Family

Caregivers need care too. We support the whole household, not only one person.

Privacy

Personal stories and health details are shared only with care and consent.

Partnership

No one organization can do this alone. We build with neighbors, churches, and providers.
