Known as the birthplace of blues and rock n’ roll, Memphis is a beautiful city with plenty of history and charm, as well as a thriving music scene. With a current population of 621,056, Memphis is the second most populous city in Tennessee. It’s also home to roughly 86,000 residents over the age of 65, and dozens of assisted living communities to accommodate seniors who need assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) like walking, bathing, and

We’ve compiled a list of the best assisted living communities in Memphis, Tennessee. Continue reading to see which community may be the right choice for you or your loved one.

How We Chose the Best Assisted Living in Memphis

Memphis is one of the largest cities in the state of Tennessee and has more than two dozen assisted living communities to choose from. We narrowed down our list using a few important factors:

  • Cost: The cost of assisted living in Memphis is lower than the national average. We tried to find assisted living communities that could fit varied budgets, but we ultimately focused our attention on the ones that offer the most value to seniors.
  • Available care: All of the communities on our list include assisted living and at least two other types of care. This helps ensure that older adults in Memphis can continue to age in place even as their needs change.
  • Reviews: We spend hours reading through reviews to see what real people are saying about assisted living communities in Memphis. This way, we can get a feel for different communities and cover some of the advantages and disadvantages of living in each one.
  • Amenities: Quality amenities can make all the difference in the world for the residents of an assisted living community. We look for communities that offer a lot of amenities to meet the varied preferences of older adults.
  • Location: Many assisted living communities in Memphis are located far from the city center, which usually translates to a more tranquil living environment. Despite the distance from downtown Memphis, we try to look for communities that are close to shopping, restaurants, and hospitals.
  • Staff size: We highlighted assisted living communities that offer a high staff-to-resident ratio, often with a maximum of eight residents per caregiver.

How to Find the Right Assisted Living Community for You

To help you find the right assisted living for you, here are some of the most important things to consider:

  • Identify your needs: Your specific needs will be the primary way to narrow down the list of possible communities. For example, if you have dementia, you’ll need a community that offers memory care.
  • Review your budget: Assisted living in Memphis is a bit expensive compared to other cities in the region, and prices typically increase each year. Always consider your budget before making a choice. While analyzing your budget, remember that Medicare usually doesn’t cover assisted living. Many seniors depend on Social Security benefits, retirement savings, and long-term care insurance to cover costs.
  • Read reviews: We read a lot of reviews on your behalf, but this doesn’t mean you should just take our word for it! Reading through reviews can help you learn about all the little details that we can’t cover in this guide.
  • Visit communities: Going to a community in person is the best way to know if it’s a good fit for you. You can often tour the facility and grounds, talk to residents and staff, and ask questions about services and amenities.
  • Check licensing and certifications: While researching a community, check that it has up-to-date licensing and certifications to operate in Tennessee.
  • Trust your gut: When in doubt, remember to trust your gut! You may find it difficult to decide between two or more similar senior communities, but you can often trust yourself to make the right choice (once you’ve done your homework).

What Is Living in Memphis Like for Seniors?

Memphis is a fun city with a great music scene, but is it a good place to live for seniors? Below is a quick look at what life is like for older adults in Memphis, Tennessee.

  • Climate: Memphis has a humid subtropical climate that experiences long, hot, humid summers, and short, mild winters. While the warmer climate may be preferable for most seniors, it’s still important to avoid overheating during the summer months.
  • Health care: Memphis has a large network of quality hospitals and clinics, many of which specialize in care for seniors.
  • Cost of living: The cost of living in Memphis is about 13 percent lower than the national average. This means that it’s a pretty affordable place to live for seniors, particularly compared to many other large cities in the region.
  • Walkability: Memphis is a walkable (or bikeable) city with various public transportation options. However, since most assisted living communities are far from the city center, most residents living in senior communities won’t be close to the more walkable neighborhoods.
  • Activities: The city has a lot of fun things to do for seniors, including museums, historical sights, music festivals, and public parks.
  • Safety: Memphis has a relatively high crime rate compared to similarly sized cities, but safety can vary from one neighborhood to the next.
  • Tax structure: Tennessee doesn’t institute state income tax, and while the state did have an inheritance tax until 2015, it doesn’t currently levy inheritance or estate  That could have a very positive impact on estate planning.

Senior Living Ratings Methodology

Available Care

We value communities that offer more than standard living services, such as memory care and independent living. We think this is beneficial for older adults, as it allows a community to meet your changing needs over time.

Location can be important. Since many seniors like to have certain comforts nearby, we look at communities close to parks, shopping areas, hospitals, museums, and other practical or entertaining points of interest.

Reviews

We read through dozens of reviews for every single contender and include a summary of our findings. In most cases, we see common themes regarding positive and negative feedback about each community. Just remember not to take individual reviews at face value.
