What families are actually paying — and what affects the price.
Assisted living in Nashville, TN costs an average of $4,200–$5,500 per month in 2025, though prices range from about $2,800 at smaller board & care homes to over $7,000 at luxury communities in Brentwood and Franklin.
Most Nashville assisted living communities include housing, meals, housekeeping, transportation, and help with daily activities in a base monthly rate. Additional care services — like medication management, incontinence care, or memory support — are often charged separately as care levels.
Assisted living is primarily paid out-of-pocket or through long-term care insurance. Medicare does NOT cover assisted living. Tennessee's TennCare (Medicaid) covers limited assisted living services through the CHOICES program for qualifying low-income seniors. Veterans may be eligible for the Aid & Attendance benefit.
