My husband chose Smoky Mountain Home Health for his hospice care, and I can say he was treated absolutely wonderful. Everyone treated him with respect and everyone respected his wishes. I can't thank them enough for the care they gave him in his final days. Thank you for everything!

Both of my grandparents were with Smoky Mountain Hospice and I am so thankful for such great people. They treated my grandparents, our home, and the rest of the family with such respect. We only had a minor problem with 2 of the CNAs but it was resolved. All of the people we had contact with were amazing. I would highly recommend this hospice company.

Nurse does not abide by hippa. I have been shown many files. Even been out on call with one many times. No hurry to call back with oncall. Can't speak to all nurses. Just one in Knoxville

I used to Volunteer there numerous years ago and I was truly blessed by the staff and I enjoyed going out and sitting with the patients who were homebound. It was a tremendous blessing. I would still Volunteer but my health is too bad. I’m proud of these fine people. Stop by and see how they can help you and your family. God bless you all.
