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.
