Amada Senior Care Knoxville
As the owner of Amada Senior Care Knoxville, Jeff Pell understands that top-quality, compassionate care by a trained caregiver makes a difference in helping to preserve the loving relationships between family members.
Says Jeff, “After graduating from college at the University of Tennessee and serving nine years in the U.S. Navy, I moved back home. One of the most influential people in my life was my grandmother. Everyone in my family simply called her ‘Nanny.’ My mother kept Nanny in the home and cared for her for many years after she developed emphysema. At the time there were very few senior in-home care options in our community. I saw the hardship it sometimes put on my mother, who was working full time while still trying to care for my grandmother in the home.”
Jeff and his Amada Knoxville team are dedicated to providing personally meaningful senior home care to families living in the Knoxville-area communities of Anderson, Blount, Claiborne, Cocke, Cumberland, Greene, Grainger, Hamblen, Jefferson, Knox, Loudon, McMinn, Meigs, Monroe, Morgan, Rhea, Roane, Scott, Sevier, Union and far beyond.

Jeff and his talented staff were a godsend to my Aunt Joyce and me. Amada Knoxville cared for her twice a week from October 2019 until July 2020. At the beginning of July, she required 24/7 care and fortunately were were able to have the same caregivers consistently as much as scheduling would allow. We loved each one of the caregivers and appreciated all that they did.
As I live in Florida, navigating the many different aspects of senior care was challenging but Jeff was there to assist at every turn. Even when Aunt Joyce required in-home nursing visits, Jeff helped our family work through the issues. Eventually when my aunt needed hospice care, Jeff was there again to help.
My aunt passed away on Jan. 15, 2021 at 95 years old. Honestly, I can say that without Amada Senior Care, the last 15 months of her life would have been much more difficult. I was lucky enough to meet Jeff and some of the caregivers. I even cried on the phone with a couple of the caregivers who we considered like true members of our family -- they felt the same about us.
I will always remember and appreciate all the compassionate care and support we received from Amada Senior Care. Thank you!
I am truly amazed with this company! From the office staff to the caregivers, the service was exceptional. I would absolutely recommend this place if you need any type of in home care. A big thank you to Mr.Pell for being very prompt in getting us care.
I've chosen the medical field because I've always been told I would have a job, which has held true. Over my past six years I have worked with many healthcare companies, and I'm glad that I walked through the doors of Amada Senior Care. The atmosphere is different, I was welcomed in with a warm smile. Amada has been the most compassionate company I have worked for; towards our clients, and to every employee. Amada Senior Care would be my first recommendation to care for one of my loved ones, or any experienced caregiver looking to thrive in success. Overall an amazing company!
Senior Housing Advising
When seniors or their loved ones begin to feel that they require more support than in-home care and assistance with basic ADLs, it may be time to consider transitioning to an assisted living community.
This is an emotional decision for everyone involved, and our goal at Amada Senior Care in Knoxville is to guide families through the placement process with wisdom, empathy, and competence.
For some seniors, an assisted living community, typically offering non-complex medical services, may be a good fit. Others may require a bit more support and may be better served in a nursing home or different type of care community.
The team at Amada Senior Care Knoxville has years of experience with senior care in Anderson, Blount, Claiborne, Cocke, Cumberland, Greene, Grainger, Hamblen, Jefferson, Knox, Loudon, McMinn, Meigs, Monroe, Morgan, Rhea, Roane, Scott, Sevier, Union and far beyond. As a result, we have deep knowledge of all local care communities and can make sure our clients find the ideal placement to suit their care needs, locations, lifestyles, and budgets.
We also rely on our extensive experience to help our clients make full use of all benefits available to them, including veterans’ benefits and Long-Term Care Insurance benefits. The costs of assisted living may intimidate many families, but we can help them make financial decisions with confidence. To further ease cost concerns, the Amada Knoxville team is pleased to offer its placement services free of charge.
When in-home care is no longer ideal for our clients, we are honored to guide them through this next phase. Our specialty is referring seniors to the right community or placement for them, which may include:
- Assisted living communities
- Large and small communities
- Independent living communities
- Board and care homes
- Adult family homes
- Senior care homes
- Skilled nursing facilities
- Alzheimer/dementia communities
