How people pay for assisted living in Nashville

This guide will explain financing an assisted living stay in Nashville using private funding options, VA benefits, Medicare, and Medicaid. Here you’ll discover resources for each payment method.

Private pay methods

Assisted living residents in Nashville can support their stays using private funds like personal savings, investment returns, pensions, and Social Security benefits. However, those are not the only alternatives. Other methods seniors use to pay for assisted living, depending on their circumstances typically, include as follows:

VA benefits
24192

Number of veterans who live in Nashville

About 22% of Nashville veterans are 75+

In Nashville, veterans have access to various VA benefit options to support their assisted living expenses. A VA Pension from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) can help cover housing or health-related costs. Wartime veterans can also apply for VA Aid and Attendance (A&A) benefits. These benefits are paid out in addition to the VA Pension and can be used for anything that improves quality of life for a Nashville veteran.

Individuals with disabilities due to their service or conditions made worse by serving in the military are also eligible for VA Disability Compensation. This can pay the costs of housing and medical treatment.

The Temporary Residence Adaptation grant can be used by those who desire to improve their living conditions. Veterans can also check the VA grant and per diem program for more financial assistance. Financial grants from the VFW also provide up to $1,500 in financial aid to military families who are enduring financial hardship as a result of their service.

Reach out to a veterans services officer to help simplify the VA benefits application process. Contact these trained professionals at local veterans services organizations (VSOs) like American Legion posts, Disabled American Veterans (DAV) chapters, and Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) locations. More information can be found in the resources listed below.

Medicaid

Tennessee’s Medicaid program, TennCare, provides health insurance to those who qualify for Medicaid and others who are without access to insurance. Medicaid will not cover the custodial costs of assisted living, but it may offset medical costs and in-home care if needed. Ensure you are eligible for TennCare Medicaid by checking the eligibility reference guide.

Nashville assisted living residents in need of in-home health care might be eligible for a home and community based services (HCBS) waiver. However, a medical professional must deem the in-home care as medically needed.

When you are prepared to submit your application for TennCare, use this application form. Additionally, you have the option to create an account on TennCare Connect, a user-friendly portal that enables you to apply for benefits, monitor your application status, notify about any changes, and access additional features.

Your local Area Agency on Aging or the Long-Term Care Ombudsman are also there to help guide you through the Medicaid application process. An ombudsman is a trained volunteer who can answer your Medicaid-related questions. For further information, contact Mid-Cumberland for ombudsman services or the Greater Nashville Regional Council Area Agency on Aging and Disability.

Medicare

Medicare is a government-funded health care program for those over 65. While Medicare doesn’t cover expenditures like rent for assisted living, it does cover medically essential in-home care for short-term medical requirements. You can sign up for Medicare online or contact a Social Security office near you.

Other options are available to Medicare-eligible individuals to assist in offsetting costs. Tennessee Medicare Savings Programs, for example, help low-income individuals pay their Medicare deductibles and co-insurance. Call the Tennessee Department of Health to find out if you are eligible and apply on TennCareConnect to get started. Tennessee also has the CoverRx program, which helps Nashville residents cover medication costs.

For more information regarding Medicare, the Tennessee State Health Insurance Help Program (TN SHIP) offers free help to Medicare-eligible individuals, families, and caregivers. Find certified SHIP counselors to help answer your questions at Medicare counseling sites on this interactive map.

Your local Social Security office and Long-Term Care Ombudsman can give more information on benefits and enrollment, too. Ombudsman advocates for seniors and help them understand their health care rights, options, and financial obligations to ensure an easy application process.

Understand Tennessee laws and regulations for assisted living facilities

Assisted living facilities and residential homes for seniors in Nashville are licensed by the Tennessee Department of Health’s Board for Licensing Health Care Facilities. Facilities receive one-, two-, or three-year licenses, which can be viewed on the Tennessee Department of Health’s website.

Nashville-based assisted living facilities require a pre-licensure inspection conducted by the Tennessee Department of Health’s Board for Licensing Health Care Facilities. It’s done within 15 months and as needed after its last inspection date. You can look up inspection reports for Nashville facilities online.

Tennessee has a variety of laws and regulations in place to protect residents of assisted living facilities, including:

  • Tennessee Assisted Living Facility Regulations: Oversee staffing levels, quality of care, resident rights, safety, cleanliness, and food service standards
  • Tennessee Administrative Code: Establish rules and procedures for licensing and certification, including staffing levels, quality of care, and resident rights. Requires one direct care staff member on duty and awake at all times when residents are present
  • Tennessee Health and Safety Code: Outlines minimum health and safety requirements for assisted living facilities, including staff qualifications, training, and emergency preparedness
  • Tennessee Fair Housing Law: Protects assisted living residents from discrimination based on race, religion, sex, age, and other factors. Requires facilities to be accessible to individuals with disabilities

Facilities must have certified administrators, qualified dieticians, and sufficient staff to meet residents’ needs. Training requirements include fire safety, disaster preparedness, and emergency procedures. Privacy and safety standards are set for bedrooms and bathrooms.

Assisted living facilities are required to conduct assessments within 72 hours of admission and develop a plan of care within five days. The plan addresses personal care assistance, medical services, visits by health care providers, advance care directives, recreational activities, dietary needs, and more.

Before admission or signature of a contract for resident care, assisted care living facilities must declare in writing to the resident or the resident’s legal representative if the facility has liability insurance and, if so, the insurance provider’s name.

COVID-19 regulations for Nashville assisted living facilities

Nashville does not have specific guidelines for assisted living facilities to follow regarding COVID-19. However, it may vary from facility to facility. Here are some general rules to follow to prevent the spread of the disease from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Transportation for seniors in Nashville

With more than 500 square miles in Tennessee’s capital, it’s no surprise that getting around Nashville is heavily reliant on cars. It does, however, contain a handful of walkable neighborhoods. The most walkable neighborhoods in Nashville are East End, Downtown, and Cameron Trimble. The suburbs surrounding the city center are significantly less walkable, and public transportation options are minimal.

The total walk score for the city is 29, while the transit score is 22. For context, Walk Score rates what a city’s transportation by bike, foot, and public transit means on a scale of 0 to 100.[07]

Our partner assisted living facilities in Nashville offer seniors transportation options as well. Eighty-seven percent of our partner facilities offer complimentary transportation, while 33% charge a fee.[01]

In terms of public transportation, WeGo Public Transit operates 34 bus lines and one train route from Lebanon to the city. Seniors over 65 and disabled individuals can pay a fare of 85 cents by providing a driver’s license, Medicare, or a Seniors-MTA Golden Age card.

Those who are disabled use the WeGo Access Program, which costs $3.70 per ride. It follows predetermined routes, and riders may require the assistance of a personal care attendant.

Seniors over 60 can use the Senior Ride Nashville with a round-trip ticket of $6 and a yearly membership fee of $25. After registering, eligible residents will be notified when they can join. There is a waiting list for those who want to use this service.

Senior activities in Nashville

The bustling metropolis of Nashville is located deep in Tennessee’s center. The city has always had its own identity, making it one of the most distinctive cities in the country.

There’s a reason it’s been dubbed Music City for nearly a century. It’s home to one of the world’s largest museums devoted to music, the Country Music Hall of Fame. The museum displays a diverse collection of historically significant artifacts associated with country music. Moreover, it’s a great opportunity to learn about the lives of performers. The museum provides wheelchairs, assistive listening devices, and large print guides upon request.

The Grand Ole Opry is an iconic venue that showcases famous country musicians from country music’s past, present, and future. The venue also has assistive listening devices and wheelchair-accessible features for individuals requiring them. Nashville doesn’t just have one well-known country music hot spot — there’s also the Ryman Auditorium, which offers a full range of accessibility options.

If you want to experience something other than country music, the General Jackson Showboat provides a nice sail down the Cumberland River so you can soak in the spectacular city sights while enjoying a meal and a show.

Beyond its famous music scene, Nashville caters to sports enthusiasts with a range of professional sports teams to root for. Experience the excitement of a Tennessee Titans NFL game at Nissan Stadium as you cheer on the team during kickoff. For ice hockey enthusiasts, Bridgestone Arena is the place to be, where you can witness thrilling Nashville Predators games. And if you’re a fan of America’s favorite pastime, don’t miss the opportunity to catch a Nashville Sounds minor league baseball game. In Nashville, sports lovers have plenty of thrilling options to indulge in.

Seniors who want to be active while admiring the scenery of Music City can visit Centennial Park, which features wonderful walking routes and a sunken garden. There’s also an art center, historical sites, and a family arts activity center around the venue. Multiple events take place at the park, so check their schedule to learn more.

The Nashville Zoo is the perfect destination for seniors to take a journey through the animal kingdom. Well-maintained habitats house 3,000 animals and 325 different species. Nashville Zoo’s well-shaded seating areas offer the ideal place for seniors to relax and reconnect with nature in a peaceful setting. The zoo makes an effort to ensure all pathways, exhibits, and facilities are accessible to every visitor. If you can’t bring your own wheelchair, rentals start at $12.

Nashville Farmers Market is an enormous market that’s open all year. The venue boasts open-air sheds, a 24,000-square-foot garden center, a culinary incubator center, and a giant food hall where you can find Nashville hot chicken and more.

The Metro Parks Senior Recreation Program offers visual arts, dance, crafts, and other leisure activities for persons over 55. It comprises three main branches (East, Elizabeth, and Hadley) and nine satellite branches.
