The 5 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Maryville, TN for 2024

Maryville, Tennessee, is a suburb of Knoxville, one of the largest cities in the state and home to the University of Tennessee. This area, nestled in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, offers plenty for outdoorsy individuals to do, from hiking to fly fishing and boating along the Tennessee River. Senior citizens, 18% of the city’s population of 30,000, can reap the benefits of living near a major city, including access to health care and other services, while living in a smaller town with a slower-paced way of life.

Assisted living accommodations may be an option for many Maryville seniors, which average $3,900 per month for room and board. These group homes provide seniors dignified assistance with personal care and grooming, plus healthy meals and apartment-style living. Many of these communities may allow small pets and feature amenities, such as a pool, outdoor recreation areas and common areas for activities and games.

In this guide, we cover features of the Maryville community, including some free resources for seniors and their families to help them preserve their independence and access the benefits they’re entitled to. We also look at the costs of assisted living and other types of senior care.

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Maryville

Tennessee assisted living communities are licensed and regulated by the Tennessee Department of Health Board For Licensing Health Care Facilities. Regulations cover cleanliness, livability standards and staff training. Maryville assisted living homes undergo regular inspections to ensure that the facility is compliant with state regulations. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Maryville

  • Maryville seniors may feel secure knowing that violent crime rates are nearly half the national average, 12.1 compared to 22.7. Property crimes are just slightly lower than the national average, 34.9 compared to 35.4. 
  • The cost of living in Maryville is lower than the national average, which has a median of 100. Maryville is 88.8, with housing costs being the lowest category, coming in at 79.5. Often, lower costs for housing translates into lower assisted living fees, which can help seniors on a budget.

  • Maryville seniors may have fewer options for health care than in other parts of the country. There are 155 doctors per 100,000 residents in town, compared to 210,000 nationwide. However, Knoxville has word-class health care just a short drive away, including the University of Tennessee Medical Center. 
  • As a suburb of Knoxville, Maryville shares this city’s designation as one of AARP’s Network of Age-Friendly Cities. This indicates the senior-friendliness of a particular town, as well as accessibility to resources for seniors.
