My Greandfather was a patient at Life Care for nearly two months. During this time, I had to repeatedly ask them to help me change his clothes and bedding. My Grandfather is a veteran and he cannot stand closed in spaces due to previous experiences. The beds that they are equipped with have safety bars that they have to put up and he asked them not to put them up every night. He finally got tired of them doing this and he slept in his chair for 39 days at night or would sleep during the day. The facility was unsanitary to say the least and the staff was anything but attentive to my Grandfather or other residents. It was the minimum effort to make them comfortable. Throughout my Grandfather’s stay, the facilty has three major breakouts of contaigious "bugs" going around and would have to lock everyone in and keep visitors out. I personally think that if they would clean better then maybe it would not have continued to spread around. (read less)

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Greeneville

The Tennessee Office of Health Care Facilities licenses and regulates assisted living facilities and 20 other types of medical providers in Greeneville, including hospitals, nursing homes and laboratories. The bureau has three regional field offices that are responsible for performing inspections and ensuring regulatory compliance.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Greeneville

• Thanks to its affordability, Greeneville is a smart choice for retirees who want to extend their savings and preserve wealth for future generations. The cost of living is 27% lower than average, and essentials, such as housing and transportation, are particularly affordable.
• Seniors in Greeneville may enjoy some financial benefits since Tennessee doesn’t have state income tax. However, sales tax is higher than the national average at 9.8%. Still, Tennessee ranks as one of the nation’s most tax-friendly states for retirees, according to Kiplinger. 
• Health care access in Greeneville is fairly limited compared to larger cities, such as Knoxville. Although the area is served by just four hospitals and a small number of family physicians, many assisted living facilities offer physical therapy and wellness exams on-site. 
• Greeneville earned a BestPlaces Comfort Index rating of 7.5, which means it’s more comfortable than other parts of Tennessee. Seniors can expect a moderate four-season climate with balmy summers and highs in the upper 80s. Winters are chilly with minimal snowfall and lows in the mid-20s.
• Seniors in Greeneville enjoy excellent air and water quality, thanks to the city’s rural location at the edge of the Appalachian Mountains. The community has a nearly perfect water quality score of 95, and its air quality score of 71 is 13 points higher than the national average, which can help those with COPD or respiratory ailments.
• Greeneville is a relatively safe community. Although property offenses are more common than average, officials disclosed that just 336 crimes were reported per 100,000 residents, which is about half the average for Tennessee. Additionally, assisted living facilities provide emergency call systems and 24-hour security as an extra precaution.

Paying for Assisted Living in Greeneville

Assisted living facilities in Greeneville typically charge $3,750 per month. This makes the community an affordable option compared to the rest of the state and the nation.

The Cost of Assisted Living in Nearby Cities

According to the Genworth 2020 Cost of Care Survey, Greenville’s assisted living prices are $289 less than the state median and $550 lower than the U.S. average, which saves residents up to 13%. However, local prices are typical for East Tennessee. Seniors in Morristown pay $3,435, for a savings of about $315 per month. Prices in Knoxville increase by $150 a month, and seniors in Kingsport pay $450 more per month, which puts its average at $4,200.

The Cost of Other Types of Senior Care

Seniors who need extra assistance with household chores and personal care have several options. However, assisted living is one of the most comprehensive and affordable choices. Nursing homes charge $7,368 for a semiprivate room or $7,680 for private accommodations, which is roughly double the cost of assisted living. Homemakers and home health care aide services cost slightly more than assisted living at an average of $3,913 per month. Adult day health care programs cost $2,057 per month, but since they don’t include housing or 24-hour personal assistance, they may not offer the best overall value.

Note: Care cost data for Greeneville was not available, so data for the closest city, Johnson City, was used instead.
