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.

The CHOICES program helps offset the cost of services necessary to keep seniors out of nursing homes, with some services designated as consumer-directed, allowing seniors to choose friends and family members as personal care attendants.
