What to Consider About Memory Care in Williamson County
Williamson County is a suburban enclave just south of Nashville with a population of 226.000 people, nearly 13 percent of whom are aged 65 or older.

July highs average 89, and January lows average 26. The area gets more than 200 sunny days each year, so memory care residents will have ample time to spend outside for supervised recreation if they desire.
- Williamson County is an affluent area with a high cost of living, which is 49 percent above the national average. Sky-high housing costs account for much of the discrepancy.

- Williamson County's violent and property crime rates are 13.1 and 15.2, respectively, on a scale of 1 to 100 where 1 represents the safest areas. The national averages, by comparison, are 31.1 and 38.1, making Williamson County a very safe place to reside as a memory care patient.
