Who We Are
The Division of Mental Retardation Services (DMRS), within the Tennessee Department of Finance and Administration, is the state agency responsible for providing services and supports to Tennesseans with mental retardation.
DMRS provides services directly or through contracts with community providers in a variety of settings. These settings range from institutional care to individual supported living in the community.
There are three long-term care facilities in the Division system: Arlington Developmental Center in Arlington, Clover Bottom Developmental Center in Nashville and Greene Valley Developmental Center in Greeneville.
Regional offices located in Memphis, Jackson, Nashville, Chattanooga, Knoxville, Greeneville and Johnson City work with community agencies to provide services.
