Independent Living in Tennessee

Overview of Independent Living in Tennessee

Though “The Volunteer State” earned its nickname for sending generous amounts of volunteer troops to battles during multiple American wars in the early 1800s, Tennessee today is known for its natural beauty and musical roots. On the eastern end of the state is the college town of Knoxville, as well as Gatlinburg, the popular resort village that serves as a gateway to the majestic Great Smoky Mountains. Music fans from across the world flock to Tennessee’s two largest cities: Nashville and Memphis. Whether it’s blues, rock ‘n’ roll, or country, the history of American music runs deep through these two cities. Tennessee also shares the most borders with other U.S. states (tied with Missouri at eight), so its central location — along with a lower-than-average cost of living — makes Tennessee an ideal retirement destination.

Currently, A Place for Mom partners with more than 65 independent living communities in Tennessee.

The median monthly cost of independent living in Tennessee is about $2,000.

Very warm, pleasant environment. They are very kind to my mom and dad. Food is good. I looked at every facility in town for my parents and thought Story Point was the best.

What I like the most about the community is the cleanliness and friendliness. I also like the fact it is month to month and not a long term contact!

Well, the staff is responsive. Whenever I speak to the nursing staff they all seem up to date about what is happening with his care. They seem to communicate amongst themselves effectively
