What Our Clients Say

Absolutely amazing! The caregivers here are wonderful; they go above and beyond for the people they are caring for. They engage them and make sure they feel safe. They truly rose to the occasion and then exceeded my expectations! In a world of COVID, when people don’t show up, these guys do, and they go above. If you are looking for comfort and care, this is your place. - Lisa S.

As I work directly with hospice patients and their families, it is important to me to be able to recommend a group of folks who truly are caring and understanding of the intricate needs of our patients. These folks have a team full of heart and compassion. Highly recommend! - Lisa C.

When the time came for my parents to need extra help in their home, I searched for agencies all over Chattanooga and its surrounding areas, hoping to find one that reflected these same principles. That’s when we found Avenues Home Care of Chattanooga. - Angee M.
