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.

I have worked at home healthcare agencies and at facilities but Amada exceeds any that I have worked at! They care about client and employee well- being. Anytime you call with a concern they are never too busy to talk or try to rush you. They truly care and show concern for their clients. I am proud to represent and be an employee for Amada! The compassion and kindness they show is exceptional!
Special thanks to Jeff for all of his help in understanding and planning for my mom's long term care. He made everything simple to understand and took time to make sure all of our questions were answered. I will highly recommend him to all my friends and associates.
We were in desperate need of having hearing aid batteries delivered to my father-in-law. The extra batteries we kept in his hospital room did not transfer with him to his new facility. It does not sound like a big deal; however, without new batteries, he would not be able to hear anything and his new providers would misinterpret his silence and blank stare as being non-responsive, non-compliant, or even worse, without cognition. As no one in the family could break away to take a pack to him, I called Amada asking if they had a caregiver who could make a run to the store to purchase a pack, then deliver to him at his new facility. Without missing a beat, Jeff Pell, Owner/President of Amada Senior Care, immediately stepped forward and volunteered to do so himself, and did!! It just doesn't get any better than this. We have been clients with Amada for a few months now and have been so very impressed with their caregivers. It is now unequivocally clear that Jeff sets a high standard for himself and his staff. We are ever grateful. Thank you!!
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
Many of our veterans, their spouses and their families may not be aware of their potential eligibility for financial assistance from the government. At Amada Senior Care Knoxville, we are dedicated to helping individuals eligible for VA Aid and Attendance benefits and other forms of financial support take full advantage of these resources.
