Collierville is located in Southwestern Tennessee in the eastern portion of the Memphis metropolitan area. Out of its population of 51,040 residents, 6,992 are seniors over the age of 65. Baptist Memorial Hospital – Collierville serves the majority of the town’s health care needs, with more options for medical care in nearby Memphis. The overall cost of living in Collierville is 10.4% above the United States average, but its cost of health care is slightly below the national figure. At $7,300 a month for a semiprivate room, the city’s median cost of nursing home care is 5.9% below the national median.
Seniors with chronic illnesses and disabilities that prevent them from performing activities of daily living comprise the majority of nursing home residents. Because of the severity of its residents’ conditions, nursing homes offer 24-hour emergency medical care, and many have both on-site physicians and registered nurses. Skilled nursing care, IV therapy, wound care and incontinence support are commonly provided. Seniors who don’t need such extensive access to care may find that assisted living or in-home care adequately meets their needs and saves money.
This guide overviews the costs of different types of care and resources that may help finance them.
