Small Town Senior Living Costs & 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.

Cost feels affordable to some
Reviews are mixed on monthly cost, with some calling it affordable and others saying it’s too high.
Some residents describe the community as affordable and point to it as a reason they chose to live there. One review, however, says the monthly amount is way too high for the work they believe should be done in their apartment, and mentions concern about fixed-income affordability if rent increases. Pricing varies by unit type, with reported ranges for semi-private, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom options.
