East Memphis follows the Poplar Avenue corridor from the University of Memphis and the University District east past Oak Court, River Oaks and Ridgeway to the Germantown line, with Park Avenue, Kirby Parkway and Walnut Grove Road as the other main routes. Two of the region's largest hospitals are here: Baptist Memorial Hospital-Memphis on Walnut Grove Road and Saint Francis Hospital on Park Avenue.
This is where most of the city's purpose-built assisted living sits, much of it in larger buildings with secured memory care units, alongside several established nursing homes. Families can often compare four or five licensed options within a few miles of each other, which makes the state's survey dates and disciplinary records especially useful for telling them apart.
