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.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Community Action Committee | (865) 244-3080 | The CAC of Knoxville and Knox County improves the quality of life of low-income residents. Its Emergency Home Repair Program provides repairs that help seniors remain independent and in their homes.

| Property Tax Relief Program | (615) 401-7774 | The Tennessee Comptroller of the Treasury operates the Property Tax Relief Program for homeowners who are elderly, disabled, disabled veterans or surviving spouses of disabled veterans.

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.
