The 10 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Bartlett, TN for 2024

 

Bartlett is a suburban community in the heart of Shelby County rich with historical attractions and natural beauty. Ease of access to nearby hospitals, low crime rates and affordable living costs are just a few features that make Bartlett an attractive retirement option for older adults. Seniors aged 65 and older account for 18% of the city’s 57,318 residents, and have access to many museums, cultural centers and nearby hiking routes. The city is also home to a thriving senior center offering fun activities and programs year-round.

Assisted living facilities cater to the specific needs of older adults who can't live at home safely, but don’t meet the criteria for round-the-clock nursing home care. Instead, residential care communities provide help with daily living activities, housing and meals. The average assisted living resident in Bartlett spends around $4,200 each month, which is $95 higher than Tennessee's average, yet $300 below the national norm.

This guide lists some advantages and disadvantages for seniors residing in Bartlett, as well as the cost data for residential senior care in both the city and the state. We've also provided a list of useful resources for older adults exploring assisted living options.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Bartlett

  • Health care is more expensive in Bartlett by 30% compared with the country’s average. However, the area is served by a high ratio of 254 medical professionals for every 100,000 people compared to the national norm of 210.
  • While the overall cost of living in Bartlett is slightly above the state's norm, the city is still more affordable than the average U.S. region by 4.9%. Seniors typically spend less on groceries, housing and transportation.
  • Seniors can feel at ease living in Bartlett due to the city’s relative safety. On a scale of 1 to 100, violent crime incidents received a score of 16.5, below the national rate of 22.7, while the rate for property infractions is 6.9 points lower than the U.S. norm.

  • Bartlett scored 55 out of 100 for its air quality, which is only three points below the overall U.S. rank. Breathing less polluted air can reduce seniors’ risks of developing some cancers and respiratory illnesses.
