Support Services

Home to ME

A new community initiative to help seniors and adults with disabilities, Home to ME, helps people maintain their independence in the place they call home.

Participants pay an annual membership fee to access a menu of guaranteed core services and a vetted list of service providers. Membership fees will be charged on a sliding scale allowing access to individuals of all incomes.

Based on the successful national Village to Village model, Home to ME builds on a county wide collaboration, strong nonprofit/business partnerships and a network of dedicated volunteers to help seniors and adults with disabilities in Knox County remain safely in their homes with support from the community.
