Grant Overview

Tennessee Caregiver Capacity Gaps

Tennessee reports 1.1 million unpaid caregivers, with concentrations in Appalachian counties where chronic illness prevalence exceeds state averages by 22 percent. Rural transportation networks limit access to respite services, and broadband coverage remains below 70 percent in several eastern counties.

Hospitals in the region discharge patients to home settings at higher rates than urban facilities, increasing daily caregiver hours. Existing therapeutic infrastructure consists primarily of indoor hospital programs rather than outdoor options.

Capacity constraints include limited numbers of master gardeners or horticultural therapists within 50 miles of target sites. Workforce data from the University of Tennessee Extension show only 14 certified horticultural therapists statewide.

Readiness requirements emphasize partnerships with regional medical centers for referral pipelines and liability coverage for caregiver participation. Sites must demonstrate existing outdoor access or secure written landowner agreements.

Funding evaluates whether applicants can staff workshops with local extension agents rather than new hires.

Therapeutic Gardens for Caregivers

Implementation focuses on modular, relocatable garden elements that can serve multiple counties via rotating schedules. Tennessee requires documented coordination with area agencies on aging for participant recruitment.

Tennessee's Appalachian topography and dispersed caregiver population create different infrastructure demands than the more centralized medical systems in Kentucky or Alabama.
