Westmoreland is a Trousdale Living Community that focuses on creating an efficient nursing approach to skilled nursing and rehab in order to enhance the quality of life for its residents. Management and staff have maintained a multidisciplinary approach to nursing when providing a tailored care team of well-trained care staff who deliver for over 40 years. Westmoreland is sure to attend to all needs and provide engaging experiences among members of the community while maintaining a balance of independence and extra comprehensive assistance.
Westmoreland also offers respite care and memory care for those looking for services. Other centers of excellence are also found in their advanced level of recovery such as short-term and long-term services, palliative and hospice care, pain management, and heart surgery care.
Serene Manor Medical Center sits within Knoxville’s Emory Place neighborhood, a 74-bed facility directed by Rita W. Griffin under Serene Manor Hospital, Inc. Having functioned for thirty-four years, this private entity handles the standard spectrum of rehabilitation and long-term care. Data indicates a current census of 38 residents with an average stay of 131 days. The 45% occupancy rate suggests a notable surplus of available space for new admissions.
A Walk Score of 76 characterizes the immediate environment as highly navigable without a vehicle. This urban integration is significant for logistical coordination, especially considering River Valley Health is only 1.37 miles away and downtown Knoxville is less than two miles distant. The facility avoids the isolation common in elder care by remaining physically connected to the city’s core infrastructure.
The institution operates through a framework of persistent nursing oversight and scheduled programming. Financial structures follow the typical split where Medicare facilitates short-term recovery while Medicaid supports permanent residency. The 131-day residency average implies the population is a hybrid of transient post-acute patients and those requiring more permanent clinical support.
The most compelling info is the 45% occupancy level. In a building designed for 74 individuals, approximately 36 beds remain empty. One must consider whether this underutilization stems from temporary market shifts or deeper systemic issues regarding the facility’s long-term viability and resource allocation.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Knoxville, TN
What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Tennessee?
Assisted living in Tennessee is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities.

Does Tennessee Medicaid cover nursing home care?
Yes — Tennessee Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.
What is nursing home care?
Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.
