What to Consider About Assisted Living in Murray

Murray, Kentucky, lies in the southwest of the state, on the Tennessee border. Nashville is the closest major city, and at a distance of just 90 miles, city adventures are a day trip away for seniors residing in Murray area assisted living communities. The Kentucky Department for Aging and Independent Living regulates the state's assisted living facilities. An assisted living community is defined as having various housing units on the same grounds that is certified to administer services to five or more adults that are not related to the manager or owner. There are five assisted living facilities near Murray, Kentucky, with three located in the city.
