Located in the foothills of the Great Smokey Mountains, Sevierville offers views and good air quality. The city has a sizable senior population, with individuals aged 65 and older making up around one-fifth of the population of about 18,000. For health care needs, the award-winning LeConte Medical Center is within city limits. The hospital provides comprehensive medical services, including a 24/7 emergency room, a cancer center, orthopedic services and stroke care. The area also has several nursing homes that support senior well-being.
Sevierville’s nursing homes charge an average fee of $6,692 monthly for a semi-private room, which is lower than the state and national averages. Nursing homes provide 24-hour monitoring, skilled nursing care and therapies for seniors with high-level health care or rehabilitative needs. Individuals who only need assistance with personal care or light nursing services may be more suited for the less-intensive services of assisted living or home care.
