What to Consider About Memory Care in Nashville
The Alzheimer's Association estimates that 120,000 Tennessee residents are currently living with Alzheimer's disease. Seniors in Nashville, who make up about 10 percent of the city's population, are among those individuals living with dementia. These seniors and their families can select from 30 memory care facilities, along with another nine located in nearby cities such as Brentwood.
Memory care facilities, along with a range of other assisted living and health care facilities, are regulated by the Department of Health's "Office of Health Care Facilities." This organization licenses and certifies memory care facilities to ensure they provide quality care to seniors living with dementia in Nashville and throughout the state.
- The cost of living in Nashville is higher than the national average. On a scale where 100 represents the U.S. average, Nashville comes in at 110.4. Healthcare is the most expensive category, a factor worth considering for seniors living with dementia and their families. Not surprisingly, the costs for memory care facilities in Nashville also come in higher than the national average.
- Tennessee does not have a state income tax, which can help seniors save some money. As a result, social security income also isn't taxed, giving seniors some extra money every month to put toward memory care facility living expenses.
- Crime rates in Nashville are a concern, especially Nashville's violent crime rate. On a scale where one represents the safest city and 100 represents the most dangerous, Nashville comes in with a 90.6 violent crime rate and 57.1 property crime rate. Seniors living in Nashville should consider the location of the memory care facility as well as its security features to maximize their safety.
- Nashville is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as Vanderbilt University Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
