What to Consider About Memory Care in Washington County

Situated in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in northeastern Tennessee, Washington County is home to 127,000 residents, nearly 18 percent of whom are over the age of 65. The county has two memory care facilities catering to residents in that age group with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.

All memory care facilities in Tennessee, including those in Washington County, operate either as assisted care living facilities or as residential homes for the aged. Both types of facilities must maintain licenses with the Tennessee Department of Health.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in

  • Summers in Washington County are warm, with July highs averaging in the mid-80s, but the area's mountainous location shields it from the brutal heat and humidity of much of the South. In the winter, nighttime lows regularly drop below freezing, and the area gets an average of 10 inches of snow each year. With 200 annual sunny days, Washington County offers memory care residents ample opportunity to spend supervised time outdoors.
  • Washington County is an affordable place to live. Its cost of living is 10 percent less than the national average. Staple purchases such as housing, groceries and utilities all cost less in Washington County than in the average U.S. city. However, memory care residents with high medical expenses may want to consider Washington County's health care costs, which are five percent higher than average.
  • Retirees in Washington County do not have to pay state income taxes on their Social Security benefits or their income from private retirement plans. As a result, memory care residents have more money available to put toward their health care expenses.
  • Washington County's violent and property crime rates of 41.4 and 43.6 out of 100, respectively, are lower than the state averages of 45 and 47.7 but higher than the national averages. Memory care residents who prioritize personal safety may want to keep these numbers in mind. Most memory care facilities have cameras, guards, locking exterior doors and other security features.
