Life Care Center of Blount County

So thankful for every single staff member that provided care for my father during his stay. His first experience with an inpatient rehabilitation facility was made so easy! He was treated like he was part of every staff members family from the first day. The facility is absolutely beautiful. The staff is amazing! Would highly recommend Life Care Center of Blount County to anyone in need of care or for a family member!

Extremely happy with Life Care Center of Blount County, the staff is amazing and the care wonderful. The facility is open, bright and full of joy and friendly optimism. A great and beautiful outdoor space and the rehabilitation center spectacular. We are very happy with our decision to be here.

Beautiful building and grounds that are very well maintained. The food is good, although there seemed to be little regard for scheduling meals. Food comes when it comes. Physical Therapy did a good job, but was a bit haphazard in their scheduling. We had a multidisciplinary meeting on our second day in which they asked about preferences, scheduling, goals, and other personalized items. None of these seemed to make it to my father's routine. Each time I mentioned one of these items, the person involved claimed no one ever told them. Nursing care was horrendous. There are a few, very patient oriented CNAs who were much appreciated and carried most of the patient care burden. The nurses taking care of my father were completely uninformed, mostly disinterested, and bordering on incompetent. They seemed to have no idea what had happened the previous shift. It is as though they either don't write patient care notes, or they don't bother to read them. My father had a complication from a nursing procedure and had to be returned to the hospital for surgery. After his recovery from surgery, he made the decision not to return and enter hospice care. If there are any medical issues with your loved one, I would consider other facilities and not be swayed by the beautiful building and grounds. If you are in need of a short rehab stay and are able to manage your own needs, its a great place.
