The families of assisted living residents and third parties can also register complaints.

| Hamilton County Veteran Services Office | (423) 209-7884 | The VSO (Veterans Service Officer) of Hamilton County helps U.S. military vets and their dependents identify and access the full range of local, state, federal and military benefits they're entitled to. These can include compensation for service-related disabilities and VA Aid and Attendance payments, which specifically help seniors cover some of their assisted living costs. |
| North River Civic Center | (423) 870-8924 | The North River Civic Center welcomes all age groups. Its appeal for seniors can be found in its wide choice of sports and fitness programs, where they make the most of the facility's exercise room, swimming pool, tennis courts and softball court. The center also holds several educational classes. Art classes focusing on improving drawing skills and developing watercolor techniques are particularly popular. There are many local clubs in the center, such as the Lions Club and the American Legion. |
| RSVP Volunteering | (423) 755-2726 | RSVP is a nonprofit organization that connects seniors with government agencies and other nonprofits that rely on the help of volunteers. All participants receive free accident and liability insurance, with many also having their travel costs reimbursed.
