This part of Memphis runs from the Mississippi River bluff and Harbor Town east through Downtown, the Pinch, Uptown and the Medical District into Midtown, taking in Overton Park, Cooper-Young, Crosstown and the neighborhoods north toward Vollintine-Evergreen. It is the city's hospital core: Regional One Health on Jefferson Avenue, Methodist University Hospital on Union Avenue and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital are all here, along with Encompass Health's rehabilitation hospital on Union.
Families here are often choosing between staying in an older house near everything they know and moving a parent east to newer buildings. The licensed senior care inside these ZIP codes leans toward nursing homes that take short-term rehab patients from the nearby hospitals, so for assisted living the comparison usually extends to the University District and East Memphis, a short drive out Poplar or Union.
