What to Consider About Memory Care in Cumberland County
Cumberland County sits on top of a mountain between Knoxville and Nashville and has a population of 60,000, more than 30 percent of whom are over the age of 65. For residents with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, Cumberland County has two memory care facilities.
Memory care facilities in Cumberland County, as is the case in all of Tennessee, are licensed by the state's Department of Health and are referred to either as assisted care living facilities or as residential homes for the aged.

Night time lows regularly drop below 30, and the area gets 10 inches of annual snow. But with 208 days of yearly sunshine and plenty of days with the temperature in the comfortable range of 70 to 80 degrees, Cumberland County offers memory care residents plenty of opportunities to get outside for fresh air.

That said, memory care patients should be aware that health care is the one area where costs are much higher in Cumberland County than in most places.

Tennessee has no state tax on income, Social Security or retirement benefits, and its property taxes are much lower than average, a possible benefit to family members considering relocating to be near their loved one in memory care.
