What to Consider About Memory Care in Sevierville

The Tennessee Department of Health’s Office of Health Care Facilities oversees the state’s memory care communities. Each facility must pass a thorough initial licensing review to conform to state standards. After that, regular inspections and license renewals ensure continuing quality of care, proper staffing, cleanliness and safety. Seniors can check the status of individual communities using the department's online database.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Sevierville

 

  • Sevierville’s cost of living falls slightly below the national average at 96.6 compared to 100. Most expense categories, including housing and groceries, hover right around average. Seniors can turn to the Tennessee Commission on Aging & Disability to learn about programs that can help them balance their budgets and pay for care more easily.
  • Tennessee does not have a state income tax, so it is tax-friendly for seniors. Social Security and other retirement income are not subject to state taxation.
  • The climate in Sevierville is mixed, with the summer comfort index standing at 7.3 on a 10-point scale and the winter rating coming in at 6.2. The city’s most comfortable months are May, September and October, and summer and winter can be less pleasant. July highs reach 88 degrees Fahrenheit, and January lows can dip down to 27 degrees Fahrenheit. Memory care communities, however, moderate the extremes of weather by providing constant climate control and many necessary services on-site.
  • Sevierville boasts above-average water and air quality. The city’s water quality index score stands at 80 out of 100, with a national average of 55. Air quality rates 65 out of 100, with a U.S. average of 58. Seniors in the city may be pleased by this, as healthy water and air can decrease the risk of respiratory difficulties and other illnesses.
  • Seniors in Sevierville have access to many health care options at the city’s two major hospitals. The LeConte Medical Center provides primary and emergency care along with specialties such as cardiology, stroke care and oncology. The Regional Health Center – Sevierville also offers primary care along with urgent care, orthopedics, wound care and sleep medicine, among other services.
  • Crime rates in Sevierville may be a concern for seniors and their families. The violent crime rate is close to the national average at 23.1 compared to 22.7, but the property crime rate jumps to 71.3, with the U.S. average at 35.4. Memory care communities, however, can provide peace of mind with their secured entries, 24/7 staffing and monitoring and emergency call systems.
