What to Consider About Assisted Living in Mount Juliet

The Tennessee Department of Health, Board for Licensing Health Care Facilities, licenses assisted living facilities in Mount Juliet and the rest of the state. It enforces a range of regulations related to intake and discharge procedures, care planning and staffing to ensure residents enjoy a high standard of care.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Mount Juliet

  • Mount Juliet is a relatively expensive place to live. On a 100-point cost of living index, the city rates 112.2, compared to the regional score of 96.7, the statewide score of 87.6 and the national score of 100. Its increased cost of living is primarily due to its high housing and transportation costs, which seniors may be able to avoid by transitioning to assisted living.  
  • Mount Juliet is a safe community with low crime rates, making it an attractive option for older adults. Current and historical data shows that its violent crime rates are well below state and national medians, as well as cities that are nearby or have similarly sized populations. On a 100-point index, violent crime rates 14.3 compared to the national score of 22.7, and property crime is similarly low at 27.3 versus the national rate of 35.4.  
  • Mount Juliet is fairly pleasant throughout the year, particularly during the spring and autumn months when the majority of days have low humidity levels and temperatures ranging between 70-85 degrees. The city sees 51 inches of annual rainfall, with May being the rainiest month, and it gets just 4 inches of snow annually, which may appeal to those who rely on mobility aids.  
  • Healthcare is expensive and somewhat limited in Mount Juliet and may be a consideration for those managing chronic conditions. Overall, healthcare costs, such as doctor’s office visits, hospital stays and dental care, are about 10% higher than the national average. There are approximately 99 physicians per 100,000 people, which is less than half of the national average of 210 physicians and may result in longer wait times to see doctors and specialists. Three hospitals are located within 15 miles of Mount Juliet, including Tristar Summit Medical Center, Tristar Hendersonville Medical Center and Tristar Centennial Medical Center. 
  • Tennessee doesn’t have a state income tax, meaning seniors only pay federal taxes on retirement income from pensions, Social Security and retirement savings accounts. However, the state’s sales tax rate is among the highest in the country.
