FOR BUSINESS

Senior Living & Nursing Home Laundry

A dependable nursing home laundry service Knoxville communities can count on — resident bed linens, towels, gowns, optional personal laundry, and staff uniforms, all handled with gentle, careful attention. We schedule the pickups, do the washing, and deliver clean, folded linens back on time, so your team can stay focused on residents.

KNOXVILLE, LOCALLY OWNED

Laundry your team can stop worrying about

Running a senior living community means a steady stream of laundry that never really slows down — beds turned every day, towels used around the clock, gowns and personal clothing that need gentle, respectful handling. When that work stays in-house, it ties up staff time, machines break down, and linen supply runs thin at the worst moments. That is where we come in.

Express Laundry Center is a locally owned franchise at 1021 Heiskell Ave in Northwest Knoxville, just off North Broadway near I-275. We run an attended commercial operation with big 20–80 lb machines, and we partner with assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing communities across the greater Knoxville area — from Fountain City and North Knoxville to Bearden and downtown. Whether you need daily bed-linen turnaround for a large community or a lighter weekly schedule for a smaller residence, we scope the service around how you actually operate.

Our goal is simple: take the laundry off your team's plate so caregivers can spend their time with residents, not folding sheets. You get clean, folded linens back on a schedule you can count on, priced honestly by volume, with one predictable invoice at the end of the month.
