What to Consider About Memory Care in Rutherford County

A suburban county 30 minutes southeast of Nashville, Rutherford County has more than 300,000 residents, approximately 10 percent of whom are 65 years or older. Residents in this age group with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia have three residential memory care facilities to choose from in the county.

As is the case in all of Tennessee, memory care facilities in Rutherford County are licensed by the state Department of Health and must demonstrate their ability to care for residents in varying stages of mental decline. These facilities are referred to in Tennessee as assisted care living facilities or residential homes for the aged.

During the winter months, the average nighttime lows are below freezing, and the area averages three inches of snow per year. With more than 200 annual sunny days, Rutherford County is a pleasant place for memory care residents who enjoy supervised time outside.

Healthcare, often a major expense for memory care residents, costs six percent more in Rutherford County than in the average U.S. city.
  • Rutherford County retirees pay no state tax on their Social Security retirement benefits, nor are they taxed on private retirement earnings such as 401(k) and pension distributions. Tennessee also has low property taxes, which may be a boon for family members wanting to live close to loved ones in memory care facilities.
  • Violent and property crime rates in Rutherford County are rated at 41 and 42, respectively, on a scale of one to 100 (100 is worst). These rates are lower than the state averages in both categories but much higher than the national averages.
