Tompkinsville's dense, older multifamily housing stock already contains several senior and assisted-living residences, and Richmond University Medical Center is close enough for families to lean on for a discharge referral.
Families comparing Tompkinsville to St. George usually weigh its lower cost of entry against St. George's proximity to the courts and county offices.
