The 5 Best Home Health Agencies for Seniors in Johnson City, TN for 2025

"I would not recommend this facility for anyone looking for elderly care. It is adjoined to the Johnson City Medical Center - operated and owned by Mountain States Health Alliance. The inside of the facility is clean, and it is a last option for end-of-life scenarios for the elderly without insurance or a family member to care for them. The main problem with JCMC is the lack of care from staff members. Patients are a "number" rather than a person; and treated so accordingly. One of my elderly patients from the Seminole House (MR Caregiver position) had an IV left in her arm after a stay at JCMC, and I was not authorized to remove it - and she kept bending her arm back and forth which caused her pain and bleeding. I would not recommend this facility (or the adjoined JCMC hospital) to anyone. "

"Amedisys Home Health's caregivers were good. They came twice a week to give my mom a bath and give her a little bit of therapy. It was all good, and it gave me a little break. They helped her with her hand and gave her something that she wears at night to stretch her hand out, like an orthotic. They were very good and professional. They only came for a short time. "

" My mother is a client. Their stores are closed on the weekend when you really need them they can’t deliver back up oxygen you have to come get it at the store if you take a day off from work. You ask them to send you hoses etc. they never do. This is absolutely the worst company ever in the history of healthcare. I should really call my congressman and report them since they bill Medicare."

"I utilized this agency, Bristol Home Health Services, twice with my elderly mother. They are very professional, yet caring and personalized in their service. They provided nursing evaluations once or more a week, depending on the level of care mom needed at the time. An example of their comprehensive attitude, they actually caught something that needed attention that had slipped through the cracks during hospital discharge. I was quite impressed with their evaluations of my mother. They also sent people to help her with bathing, and she found them to be respectful of her modesty. The physical therapists and assistants that came were very involved with her care, and they seemed to be knowledgeable of her particular needs and situation. They assessed her need for equipment, working out the purchase and installation of a raised toilet seat, which was very helpful to my mom. They were available by phone at all hours, although they referred us to the emergency room. Their office has a personal, first name type of feeling, but the care is very professional. Having also used another agency, we decided that we prefer Bristol Home Health Services due to their very caring interest in my mother's progress. They were very good about keeping me, as her primary caretaker, in the loop about what was going on. If I had any questions, they were very glad to explain things to me regarding her care and needs. My mother is currently in a skilled nursing facility for therapy after hospitalization, but when she returns home, I will certainly request the services of this agency again. "

"The worse time of my life when I needed help they did more to make me worse and lies to get out of things they were suppose to do. I'm going to find a way to get somemthing done so others don't go thru what I have. I have COPD, CHF, DAV PE Heart attack and several doctors I have to go to for the these things not my choice so they throwed me out of their system because I went to my heart doctor about my heart instead of a PCP.
