Farmview Homes

About Farmview Homes

Farmview Homes is a sober living operator in Nashville, Tennessee, providing men's recovery housing across Davidson County. The organization runs four houses spread over the east, north and west sides of the city, and takes its name from the street its North Nashville house stands on.

A Nashville Recovery Housing Provider

Farmview Homes is a housing organization. The houses supply an address, a set of rules and a household of men keeping the same hours, and clinical care comes from outpatient providers elsewhere in the county. Residents keep their own prescribers, therapists and meetings. The operator's job is to hold the housing stock, the fee terms and the expectations steady from one address to the next, which is the part a resident notices when moving between houses.

Men's Sober Homes in Nashville

Four houses carry the Farmview name, all of them for men:

• The East House, on McAlpine Avenue in the Inglewood section of East Nashville.
• The North House, on Farmview Drive in Bordeaux, North Nashville.
• The West House, on College Avenue in West Nashville.
• The Potter House, on Potter Lane in East Nashville.

The spread is the point. Nashville is a large county with a bus system that radiates from downtown, so a house on the wrong side of the city can put an hour between a resident and a job. Four addresses across three quadrants gives the operator somewhere to place a man whose work, treatment or family sits in a particular part of Davidson County.

A Single-Gender Recovery Housing Portfolio

Every Farmview house serves men, and running one population across the whole portfolio keeps the rules, the household culture and the expectations consistent. A resident who transfers between houses is not learning a new system. For a referring counselor placing a man leaving residential treatment, it also means the choice is about location and household fit instead of about which house takes which gender.

Serving East, North and West Nashville

Davidson County is consolidated with the city, so a resident's courts, health department and public hospital are all Metro Nashville agencies. WeGo Public Transit connects the county through Music City Central downtown, and the city's hospitality, construction and warehouse employers hire steadily at entry level, which is what a man rebuilding a work history needs. Nashville is also the state capital and holds the largest concentration of outpatient treatment in Middle Tennessee, so people leaving residential programs across the region look for Nashville recovery housing first.

Reaching This Sober Living Operator

Applications go to the operator. The questions worth asking at this level differ from the ones about a single address: how long the organization has housed men in Davidson County, whether it takes referrals from treatment providers and the recovery court, what the fee and deposit terms are across the four houses, how a transfer between houses is handled, and how a complaint escalates past the house manager to the operator. Tennessee's Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services maintains statewide recovery residence information, and national recovery residence standards are published by NARR.
