Pricing

Small Town Senior Living offers competitive pricing that stands in stark contrast to both Rhea County and the broader Tennessee market. For instance, a semi-private room is available at just $900 per month, significantly lower than the county average of $2,371 and the state average of $3,162. Similarly, residents can choose a one-bedroom unit for $1,375, which is considerably more affordable compared to Rhea County's average of $3,883 and Tennessee's average of $3,592. Even for two-bedroom accommodations priced at $1,575 - a cost that aligns with local pricing - it remains far below the state average of $3,962. This makes Small Town Senior Living an attractive option for seniors seeking quality care without the financial strain often associated with other facilities in the region.

Review

Small Town Senior Living has garnered positive feedback from residents who appreciate the supportive and attentive nature of its staff. The willingness of the team to assist residents with their needs stands out as a particularly commendable aspect of the facility. The staff's dedication plays a crucial role in enhancing the quality of life for seniors living in this community, making it an inviting place for those seeking retirement living options.

The cleanliness of the assisted living building is another highlight mentioned by residents, emphasizing that maintaining a tidy environment contributes to an overall pleasant atmosphere. For those residing in independent living, like one reviewer, personal upkeep remains important, and they take pride in keeping their own apartments clean. This sense of responsibility reflects not only on the individual but also on the community's standards and values regarding cleanliness and personal space.

Despite these positive elements, some concerns have been raised about the financial aspects of living at Small Town Senior Living. One resident voiced dissatisfaction with the monthly expenses associated with their stay, arguing that the price seems excessively high given what they perceive as insufficient work done in their apartment. This comment underscores a broader issue faced by many seniors: managing fixed incomes while navigating rising costs in retirement communities can be challenging. The fear of rent increases potentially forcing them to relocate adds an additional layer of anxiety for those on set budgets.

In contrast to these financial worries, many residents report favorable experiences regarding the application process when joining Small Town Senior Living. Most find it to be fast and straightforward, reflecting well on how management handles new admissions into this vibrant community. This efficiency alleviates some common stressors associated with moving to a new home and allows residents to transition smoothly into their new environment.

The community's commitment to cleanliness extends beyond individual apartments; reviewers have noted that both indoor and outdoor areas are consistently well-maintained. This attention to detail creates an aesthetically pleasing setting that enhances day-to-day life for all residents. Being situated in a beautiful area further boosts its appeal, offering serene surroundings conducive to relaxation and enjoyment.

Overall, Small Town Senior Living appears to be a solid option for those considering retirement living. With helpful staff members dedicated to supporting each resident’s needs, along with well-kept facilities located in a picturesque region, it is easy to see why many would recommend this community. However, prospective residents should weigh housing costs carefully against personal budgets since financial stability is paramount for maintaining independence during retirement years. As such, while many enjoy their time at Small Town Senior Living and would advocate for others looking for similar options, potential financial burdens remain an essential consideration when making such significant life decisions.
