There is no charge or obligation to use SimplyNaya.
Start with the location where care is needed.
The person searching may live nearby or be helping from another city. The care location determines which local hospice connection and Medicare-certified provider information are most relevant.
After you contact us, request a private, time-limited link to providers serving the care location.

When care needs change, it is okay to ask questions.
Families often begin exploring hospice after a hospital stay, a difficult conversation with a clinician, or when support at home becomes harder to manage. You do not need every answer before taking the next step.
- Separate the caller’s location from the patient’s location, particularly when relatives are helping from outside Knoxville.
- Ask whether after-hours staff can reach the person’s actual home or assisted living community in a reasonable time.
- Confirm who will coordinate discharge planning, medication delivery and caregiver education.
Questions to ask when comparing hospice providers can help you prepare for the first conversation.
Comparing hospice providers in Knoxville
Check service at the address where care is needed.
An agency’s office location does not tell you whether it can support your loved one’s home or community. When comparing hospice providers in Knoxville, ask each agency to confirm service at your loved one’s home or community, current availability, and how it responds after hours.
Care at home
Ask who visits, how equipment and medications are arranged, and what help family caregivers will need to provide.
Understand hospice care at home →Care in senior living
Ask how the hospice team will communicate with assisted living or memory care staff and who handles urgent concerns.
Explore hospice and assisted living →Preparing for a decision
Write down what matters to your family, ask about costs, and confirm which services the agency can provide at your location.

Clear answers before you make a decision.
Can a Knoxville hospice support someone in Maryville?
Potentially, but coverage depends on the provider’s reported service area, current availability and the exact care ZIP. Ask about response coverage before choosing.
Can hospice provide support without moving someone into a facility?
Hospice often supports eligible people in their current home or residence when clinically appropriate. The provider should explain which visits, equipment and caregiver guidance are available.
Finding the right local area
Not sure which area to choose?
Start with the city where care will take place. We will show the local areas to help you choose. A ZIP code can confirm the most accurate local option.
Provider eligibility and service-area information should be confirmed directly with the hospice and through Medicare Care Compare. Local content reviewed September 2026.
Provider information by request
Your options remain private and complete.
After contacting SimplyNaya, families can request a time-limited link to eligible Medicare-certified hospice providers serving the care location. Paid partner placement never removes other eligible providers.
Before choosing care, families can also review whether Medicare covers hospice and what costs to ask about, or learn what hospice care at home may look like.
