Senior care in Tennessee: common questions

How much does assisted living cost in Tennessee?

The assisted-living column shows about $5,358 per month for Tennessee from CareScout's 2024 provider survey. Memory care is about $5,900/month from a separate dataset of 2025 move-ins, and the semi-private nursing-home figure is about $9,125/month from CareScout's 2024 survey. These unlike sources should not be compared as one survey, and each community's current all-in quote may differ.

How many senior living communities are in Tennessee?

Haven evaluates 230 senior living communities across 10 Tennessee metro areas. Profiles identify whether a fact comes from CMS nursing-home data, state licensing, a review source, or a local market estimate.

How do I research senior living communities in Tennessee?

Start with the regulator data that applies: CMS star ratings, staffing, and inspection history for nursing homes; state licensing records for assisted living and memory care where available. Then compare local costs, tour 2–3 communities, and request written, dated answers about pricing, care acceptance, and openings from each community.
