My mother-in-law is here. Everything's nice and clean, and the people are nice and patient. The residents there always tell us that the caregivers are very nice to them and take them out. It seems to be very well-organized. They have different levels of rooms,+ and you can choose what level of room you want. Every level of care you need costs extra, though, so it's not a flat rate. As far as what you need and what to expect in pricing, they're lacking communication. Otherwise, it's been a great experience.

Brookdale was a clean and fantastic setting for the elderly. My wife even commented that she could see us living there. At this point, my father and his wife have so many health issues, so it's not a viable option for them. The staff was fantastic. I was impressed with the facility and the staff.
The 2018 Genworth Cost of Care study makes it easy to compare assisted living prices in different locales. It shows that the $3,875 average monthly rate paid in Johnson City is a bit lower than the state ($3,920) and national ($4,000) averages. Rates here are considerably less than in some Tennessee cities, such as Nashville ($4,500), Kingsport ($4,179) and Knoxville ($4,033). However, compared to other cities, including Morristown ($3,250) and Chattanooga ($3,018), seniors here pay about $600 to $800 more per month.

The type and level of care and where it’s provided have a major impact on monthly senior care rates in any given location. This is easily seen by the $2,500 higher average cost of nursing home care in Johnson City compared to assisted living and in-home services. This price difference is directly related to the higher level of care that’s provided around-the-clock in nursing homes. Local monthly rates for homemaker and home health aide services are just about on par with those of assisted living. To accurately assess these costs, seniors should remember that assisted living prices typically include room and board, while in-home care rates cover services only. Rent or mortgage payments, maintenance, food and utility bills must still be paid when choosing in-home care.

Medicaid is the nation’s largest health insurance program and was introduced specifically to serve low-income Americans, including pregnant women, families with young children, those who are blind or disabled and the elderly. Although jointly funded, Medicaid is regulated by the federal government and administered by each state.
In Tennessee, Medicaid is called TennCare and provides coverage for one in five state residents. Those who meet the eligibility requirements receive a range of medically necessary services, including physician and specialist care, inpatient and outpatient hospital care, preventive services, diagnostic tests and community-based and institutional long-term care.
To be eligible for long-term care coverage, Johnson City residents must be U.S. citizens or qualified aliens and aged 65 or older, blind or disabled. Each applicant must also meet TennCare’s financial and functional requirements:
VA Aid and Attendance Benefits
Area veterans or their surviving spouses presently receiving a VA pension may be eligible for a monthly top-up payment through the Aid and Attendance program. To qualify, applicants must require assistance with activities of daily living, be legally blind, be bedridden or reside in a nursing home because of a chronic illness or other impairment.
Applicants must have been honorably discharged after serving a minimum of 90 days active duty, with at least one occurring during wartime. Those already receiving VA disability benefits aren’t eligible for this program.
For help filing an A&A benefit application, senior veterans can contact the local Washington County Veterans Service Officer at (423) 753-1628 to schedule an appointment.
Assisted Living Bridge Loan
Seniors planning a move to assisted living who are temporarily short on funds may find an Elderlife Financial bridge loan an ideal solution. These loans are offered for a maximum term of 12 months, which is typically ample time for a home to sell or Social Security, VA or other benefits to kick in. They’re structured as a line of credit that can be drawn on as needed and have no application fees or out-of-pocket borrowing costs. The application and approval process is quick and easy, and seniors can schedule direct payments to their chosen facility to cover move-in fees and monthly rent charges.
To learn more or apply for a bridge loan, Johnson City seniors should contact Elderlife Financial Services at (888) 228-4500.
The activities and programs offered at the Johnson City Senior Center are designed to keep seniors active, engaged and enjoying life. Area residents aged 50 plus can find lots to pique their interest, such as card and board games, fitness and craft classes, a computer lab and regular Bible studies. The center also hosts numerous shared interest clubs, routine health and wellness checks, informational seminars and fun-filled events such as weekly dances with live music. Senior center membership is free, but some events and programs have a nominal charge.
