"My husband has been a client of this agency for almost 4 years. He suffers from dementia and other health problems. We received in home care for him for about 40-36 hours per week. We had one exceptional caregiver for most of that time. She was a most kind and helpful woman who provided companionship,cleaning and cooking. When we at times needed a substitute,they were generally also kind and helpful. If we had one who was not a good match, we reported that to the agency,and never saw that caregiver again. We continue to use this agency even though my husband is in memory care assisted living in a residence. They are able to provide good caregivers,most of them CNA's, on short notice when he requires hospitalization,so that I do not need to stay in the room with him 24/7."

"They provided day time care and eventually progressed to 23-hour care for my aunt's uncle. They sent caregivers that went over and above and even took care of an aging dog. When issues happened, they took care of it in a professional manner. They were dependable and tried to get consistent caregivers for my family. Recommended highly."

"We've used Home Helpers for a couple of months now for my in-laws. They come in for three hours in the morning and three hours in the evening, and they change their clothes, feed them, and do a little house cleaning. The manager agreed to meet me, talked to me, and interviewed the people that will go to the house. We met them, went over and met my in-laws, and no other agency did that. The caregivers were pretty good. "

"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. "

"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. "

"We hired Visiting Angels, and they had been very satisfactory. We only used their services when our daughter and son-in-law are out of town for some reason. We live in a house with our daughter and son-in-law. They sent someone to do housework. They did assist my wife to take a shower, and they also cooked meals, cleaned everything up, and made beds. It was just housework; they're not trained nurses. "

Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
Aging adults in Knoxville who choose to age in place at home often need additional support to retain their independence. Several government entities and nonprofit organizations provide various programs to provide the support seniors need to remain in their homes longer at little or no cost.

Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.


If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
