Overview of Wellpark Health and Rehabilitation
Wellpark Health and Rehabilitation is nursing home in Knoxville, Tennessee, offering nursing, memory care, and physician-guided therapies, backed by 24-hour staffing and an on-site medical doctor. Operating since October 2015, this 32-bed community is owned by River Bluff Healthcare, Inc., and runs under the nonprofit, church-operated umbrella of Presbyterian Homes of Tennessee, Inc. The community also accommodates individuals utilizing Medicare or private funds and holds an overall 3-star quality rating from CMS.
Regulatory history from the Tennessee Department of Health cited 3 inspections over a seven-year tracking window. The community accumulated 15 total health citations, closely mirroring the state baseline of 15.4. Crucially, every citation was categorized exclusively at a moderate severity level, with zero serious or critical deficiencies on record. The most recent review on January 24, 2025, also cited deficiencies concerning infection control, pharmacy practices, and abuse or neglect prevention, all of which are now documented as fully corrected. No monetary fines have been issued within the past three years.
The community’s nursing staff provides 3 hours and 56 minutes of direct daily care to each resident, outperforming the Tennessee state average by 7% and ranking the property 27th out of 134 regional alternatives. Weekend coverage remains exceptionally steady at 4 hours and 11 minutes per resident daily, ensuring care levels do not drop outside standard business hours. Second-quarter 2025 records show a total workforce of 92 individuals, consisting of 49 regular employees and 43 contractors. This establishes an excellent staff-to-resident ratio of 3.07 to 1, marking a 71% improvement over the statewide benchmark.
Clinical data show specialized strengths, particularly in short-term preventative medicine. Short-stay individuals receive influenza and pneumococcal immunizations at rates of 95.6% and 93.1%, beating state benchmarks by 20% and 17%, respectively. Furthermore, new antipsychotic drug prescriptions affect just 1.0% of temporary residents, showing a 42% reduction compared to state averages. These metrics support a strong short-term recovery focus, where the average overall stay is 15 days, while Medicare-supported individuals average 18 days.
Wellpark Health and Rehabilitation is a highly suitable option for older adults and families seeking a faith-affiliated environment with excellent staffing ratios and a clean penalty record, especially when transitioning out of a hospital stay for post-acute physical rehabilitation.
Quality ratings
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.
