Long-Term Care Ombudsman(877) 236-0013Seniors 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.

Hamilton County Veteran Services Office(423) 209-7884The 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) 870-8924The 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) 755-2726RSVP 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.
