Seniors in Hixson can call on the help of a range of government agencies and nonprofit organizations. The following resources are samples of what’s available to help seniors in dispute with their care providers, veterans unsure about the benefits they’re entitled to and retirees looking to positively use their free time and help their communities.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Long-Term Care Ombudsman | (877) 236-0013 | Seniors unable to resolve issues with their care providers can contact the Long-Term Care Ombudsman, who will advocate for them and pursue resolutions to their complaints. The families of assisted living residents and third parties can also register complaints. If a complaint alleges criminal actions, such as elder abuse and neglect, the ombudsman immediately refers it to the proper authority. Seniors can also get free access to inspection reports, enabling them to make more informed choices on the best assisted living facilities for their needs. |
| Hamilton County Veteran Services Office | (423) 209-7884 | The VSO (Veterans Service Officer) of Hamilton County helps U.S. military vets and their dependents identify and access the full range of local, state, federal and military benefits they're entitled to. These can include compensation for service-related disabilities and VA Aid and Attendance payments, which specifically help seniors cover some of their assisted living costs. |
| North River Civic Center | (423) 870-8924 | The North River Civic Center welcomes all age groups. Its appeal for seniors can be found in its wide choice of sports and fitness programs, where they make the most of the facility's exercise room, swimming pool, tennis courts and softball court. The center also holds several educational classes. Art classes focusing on improving drawing skills and developing watercolor techniques are particularly popular. There are many local clubs in the center, such as the Lions Club and the American Legion. |
| RSVP Volunteering | (423) 755-2726 | RSVP is a nonprofit organization that connects seniors with government agencies and other nonprofits that rely on the help of volunteers. All participants receive free accident and liability insurance, with many also having their travel costs reimbursed. The range of work varies greatly, from unskilled services, such as helping to clear up litter in public parks, to services that utilize the seniors' existing skills, knowledge and experience. |
Hixson-area assisted living communities must adhere to the comprehensive set of state laws and regulations that all assisted living communities in Tennessee are required to follow. Visit our Assisted Living in Tennessee page for more information about these laws.
