Tennessee's state capital, Nashville, is also its largest city, with a population of almost 690,000. According to the 2020 census, around 11.7% of its residents are aged 65 and older. Their medical needs are well-served by some of the best hospitals in the state, including the Vanderbilt University Medical Center, ranked #20 in the country by U.S. News & World Report. There are also more than 300 professionals working in most fields of medicine who are registered to treat Medicare beneficiaries, including family doctors, optometrists, orthopedic surgeons and physical therapists.
Nashville is home to many nursing homes, each providing high levels of care in comfortable surroundings for seniors who need round-the-clock attention. Although each facility is unique, common practices include physicians designing bespoke care plans for each resident, which are implemented by registered and licensed nurses. However, nursing homes are only suitable for seniors who need 24/7 care. More able seniors may find assisted living facilities and home health care agencies offer more suitable solutions for their long-term care needs.
The remainder of this guide provides an overview of the city of Nashville and typical nursing home costs within Tennessee. It also lists some resources for seniors and their families.
Nashville has a SeniorScore of 74, which is two points higher than the SeniorScores of 72 achieved by the state and the country. The city performs well in all four categories, with Finances gaining an individual score of 68, Recreation & Leisure with 66, Health & Safety at 65 and General Quality of Life at 63.
According to Sperling's Best Places, Nashville has an average cost of living index of 101.4, which is slightly above average for the U.S. and Tennessee. However, the health cost index is below-average, at 96.7, which means seniors in the city are more likely to pay less for their health care treatments. Although Nashville loses some points due to the below-average number of seniors in the city, it gains many more back for the opportunities it affords them. There are more than 40 parks in and around Nashville, enabling seniors to enjoy casual strolls and picnics with loved ones in safe and beautiful spaces. There are also 465 churches providing the faithful of all denominations with places nearby to worship.
Seniors in Nashville whose health needs require care in a senior living community are well-served by the city, which has approximately 75, ensuring seniors shouldn't need to compromise on where they receive long-term health care. The climate is favorable to seniors too, with summer temperatures regularly hovering around a very pleasant 89 degrees. In winter, snow rarely falls above four inches in a year and the dial doesn't often fall below 27 inches, which means the city's seniors aren't usually exposed to extreme temperatures and unsafe walking spaces. Air quality could be better in Nashville, but the water quality is well above-average.
According to the 2020 Genworth Cost of Care Survey, the typical senior in Nashville pays $7,270 per month for a semiprivate room in a nursing home. This is more affordable than the national average of $7,756, although above the typical cost for Tennessee of $7,072.
Although Nashville's average nursing home costs are at the upper end of the scale, the city isn't the most costly in the state. In Memphis, the typical fee is $7,300 which, although only $30 per month higher than Nashville, still means seniors need to budget for an additional $360 every year. Fees are higher still in Johnson City, where the typical senior expects to pay around $7,368 for nursing home care. Seniors looking for more affordable care should look to cities such as Clarksville, where fees of around $6,753 are normal, and Morristown, where the average is $6,844, as both cities offer significantly lower fees than Nashville. Jackson is also an option, although its average of $7,209 won't incur as much of a saving as the previous two examples. Chattanooga's average costs are also lower than Nashville's, but at $7,148, the saving is the least attractive in the state.
