The 10 Best Home Care Agencies for Seniors in Knox County, TN for 2025

"We've been using Right at Home for three weeks. It's been a little bit of give and take between my stepmother and the caregiver. My stepmother doesn't want to let her clean the house if she's done with my dad, so she's not allowing her to stay. The caregiver comes in for four hours twice a week. The caregiver does exercises with my dad takes him for walks, and tries to converse with him."

"It's been a month now since we are using Home Helpers of East Tennessee services. Their caregivers are doing a fine job for my husband who has Parkinson's. They are really good, but I guess they just need more skills. Some can cook, but some don't; otherwise they are good. "

""After the stroke I never thought my dad could live at home again. I knew it was what he wanted so at the recommendation of the hospital case manager I tried Acti-Kare. They have been a blessing. Dad is making strides and he is truly happy which I know he wouldn't have been at retirement home. The staff are truly special people!" - K. H. "

"We used East Tennessee Personal Care for about a month. They found a caregiver for us immediately as soon as we got approved. They were very good, and I was very pleased. I was concerned when I had to change agencies because we had to move. And we had to change people. But I was very happy with the care that they gave my mother. They were very good with her. We had three dependable caregivers, seven days a week. I felt comfortable leaving mother with them. They made my mother's last days better and enabled us to keep her at home. "

"Homewatch is at the top of my list each and every time I need to find in-home support for my clients. Their office staff is professional and very conscientious in communicating in-home observations to me and to the family. "

"We had someone come and give my mother-in-law a bath twice a week from Gentiva Home Health Care. We had a nurse that came every week to change her wrap. She had bath, food, supplies, laundry, and everything. It is reasonably priced. Gentiva sends out nurses, physical therapists, and bath people. They were all very well trained with good customer service skills, and they knew just how to talk to an old lady like she was small child and told her what she needed to hear. They knew how to handle her, what to do and what not to do. They were excellent, professional, and had good personalities. "

"We are letting my mom stay at her home right now. We got a service called Comfort Keepers In Home Care that's checking on her, and helping with errands and stuff at home. It's the one in Knoxville. My mom lives in Sevierville and that's outside their area but they do have people that work in that area too. They are expanding outside the Knoxville area and they charge a little more when they're outside their main service areas. They come and do a care consultation and they see exactly what the person needs, but they can also do a little bit of everything. They can do mail preparation, light housekeeping, run errands, and pick up medications at the pharmacy. They can also go get groceries. They do a 4-hour minimum so we get 4 hours on days that they come. The lady that did the care consultation was a nurse but usually, the people they have doing the services are not medical people. They help people keep up with their medication but they're not nurses so they don't do home health. They help people stay in their homes by helping them do any chores or tasks or errands that they need to be done. We've just started and it's been pretty good. The lady that came for mom was very nice and very patient, and mom likes their service. "

"I have been using Visiting Angels. They are easy to work with, and I have a helper coming three days a week for four hours a day to sit with my husband who is disabled. She does little house chores, like she would take the clothes out of the dryer, she helps feed him as he is handicapped, and she swept the floor a few times, but mostly I just want her to be there with him. They are excellent and very helpful."

"We're using them for my mom. They drive her around, take her to the senior center, bathe her, laundry and do everything. The caregivers are really good. I hired them as opposed to other agencies because I felt comfortable with them."

"We got Delphina Home Health for my friend. They do regular things like light duty cleaning, bathing, and give her the meds. We've had excellent caregiving, the owner came out, worked for a while, and trained her people. They're excellent."
