What to Consider About Assisted Living in Jefferson City

Jefferson City is located near Cherokee Reservoir in northeastern Tennessee. When early settlers arrived in the late 1700s, they called the city “Mossy Creek.” The city got its current name in 1901, and today, it’s home to nearly 8,200 people. Senior citizens make up just over 15% of the population. 

If the city’s seniors find themselves in need of assistance with daily activities, they can move into any of the five local assisted living facilities. These facilities, as well as those in the rest of the state, are regulated by the state Office of Health Care Facilities.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Jefferson City

  • Jefferson City’s cost of living is fairly low. The city is 7.9% more affordable than the national average. Seniors who move here can expect to pay lower-than-average prices for groceries and housing. However, healthcare costs are 28.6% higher than the national average, which may impact seniors with health issues.
  • The American Lung Association recently ranked U.S. cities based on year-round particle pollution. The Knoxville-Morristown-Sevierville metropolitan area came in at 25th most polluted. Seniors with respiratory conditions may need to spend more time indoors. 
  • Jefferson City is home to the Legacy Theatre. Seniors can visit this community theater to watch plays and musicals. At Patriot Hills Golf Club, seniors can tackle an 18-hole golf course. Seniors can take day trips to nearby Knoxville to enjoy the city’s many attractions, museums and historical sites.
  • Over 89% of Tennessee’s communities have a lower crime rate than Jefferson City, which may concern some seniors. In Jefferson City, the property crime rate is 44.69 per 1,000 residents, and people who live here have a one in 22 chance of becoming a victim of a property crime. Fortunately, the violent crime rate is much lower at only 3.83 per 1,000 residents.
  • Seniors who retire in Jefferson City may appreciate the area’s mild winters. Winter lows are in the mid-20s, and the city only gets nine inches of snow per year. This is significantly less than the nationwide average of 28 inches per year. In this climate, seniors who enjoy walking outdoors can pursue their hobby for most of the year. 
  • The Jefferson City area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Jefferson Memorial Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
