Knoxville Assisted Living - Senior Care Options

With lower than average costs for assisted living facilities and plenty of activities to keep you busy, this city in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains makes an ideal home for retirees. On this page you'll find 25 of the closest Knoxville assisted living facilities and what senior care costs in the city.

Moving to Knoxville? Here are some things you should know. The overall cost of living is 10% lower than the national average. And though there is no state income tax, you will pay a 6% tax on stock dividends and interest income from investments. A private, one-bedroom in a Knoxville assisted living facility averages $3,100 a month (the national average is $3,261), according to a recent Genworth Financial survey on long-term care. A private room in a nursing home averages $185 a day--a semi-private averages $170. These costs are about 13% below the national average.

Within Tennessee's Department of Health, the Division of Health Care Facilities is responsible for licensing, regulating and inspecting assisted living facilities and other senior care options like nursing homes.
