Knoxville Senior AdvisorHow many nursing homes options are in Knoxville and Knox County?
Knox County has 14 licensed nursing homes with 1,758 beds; CMS rates 13, and 6 hold four or five stars.
Which Knoxville nursing homes are certified for Medicare only?
3 Knox County homes are certified for Medicare only in CMS's data: Fort Sanders Transitional Care Unit, NHC HealthCare, Farragut, Wellpark Health and Rehabilitation; they focus on short-term rehab and cannot bill TennCare for a long stay.
If a parent may need TennCare later, choose a home certified for both so a second move is not needed.
