READ MOREThe average cost of assisted living in Knox County and its county seat of Knoxville is $3,900 per month according to the Genworth Cost of Care Survey 2020. This is just below the rate that seniors in other parts of Tennessee pay with the state average being $4,039. When compared to the rest of the U.S., Knox County residents spend $400 less per month on assisted living than the national median cost of $4,300.
With the average cost of assisted living in Knox County being lower than the state median, the area is a viable option for older adults looking to make their retirement income stretch further. There are more affordable parts of Tennessee. For example, seniors in cities such as Nashville ($3,720), Morristown ($3,435) and Jackson ($3,667) pay less than $3,750 per month for assisted living. However, retirees in other cities, including Clarksville ($4,190), Kingsport ($4,200) and Memphis ($4,391), pay significantly more than the state average, while those in Chattanooga can expect to pay $4,515 — $615 a month more than seniors choosing an assisted living community in Knox County.
