What to Consider About Assisted Living in Lenoir City

Known as the “Lake Capital of the South,” Lenoir City offers seniors a beautiful park system, easy access to three surrounding lakes and a short drive to Knoxville when big-city amenities beckon. Adults aged 65 and over make up approximately 11.5% of this Eastern Tennessee city’s population of about 8,600.

To support seniors who need help with personal care services and medical oversight, Lenoir City provides two assisted care living facilities (ACLFs). Nearby Loudon has another two communities. The Tennessee Department of Health’s Board for Licensing Health Care Facilities, Office of Health Care Facilities regulates ACLFs for the state.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Lenoir City

  • Lenoir City seniors benefit from Tennessee's lack of a state income tax, which means Social Security benefits and all other forms of retirement income aren't taxed at the state level. Kiplinger ranked Tennessee fifth on the 2018 list of best states in which to retire.
  • The American Lung Association gives Loudon County a “D” grade for ozone pollution and a “C” for particle pollution. Poor air quality can pose a serious health risk to older adults in Lenoir City with heart or lung conditions and to seniors who enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle.
  • The Lenoir City area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Fort Loudon Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Seniors who prefer a dry and sunny climate may find Lenoir City’s 53 inches of annual rainfall challenging. While the sun shines 206 days per year on average, the city typically has 124 rainy days. However, it’s one of the warmest places in Tennessee in the winter months, with a January average nighttime temperature of 28.2.
  • Lenoir City provides an array of community resources for seniors, including the Loudon County Senior Center, which offers fitness and educational programs, art and computer classes, day trips and health screenings.
  • Lenoir City’s violent crime rate of 15.3 is lower than the national average of 22.7, but property crime is more prevalent. On a 100-point scale, the city rates a 55.6, exceeding the U.S. average of 35.4. It’s important to ensure all ACLFs under consideration provide adequate security and monitoring systems to protect senior residents.
