Overview of Life Care Center of Blount County

Life Care Center of Blount County is a 120-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility administered by Maria Farmer in Louisville, Tennessee that’s owned by Blount Medical Investors, Inc. Licensed in 2015 serving Blount County, the facility accepts Medicare and private pay. It runs primarily as a short-stay destination, with an average stay of 34 days and occupancy of 83.4 percent, above Tennessee’s 73 percent average.
CMS scores the facility 3 stars, with quality measures 34 percent above Tennessee’s average and a staffing rating 22 percent above the state benchmark. Long-stay quality measures are rated significantly above average: hospitalizations at 0.78 per 1,000 resident days are 51 percent better than Tennessee’s 1.58 average, and ED visits at 0.85 per 1,000 days are 46 percent better than the state figure. Pressure ulcer rates at 1.8 percent are 67 percent below Tennessee’s average. Short-stay self-care at discharge reaches 75.1 percent, 40 percent above the state benchmark, and the community return rate of 56.3 percent is 11 percent better than Tennessee’s 50.6 percent average. Short-stay re-hospitalization at 25.2 percent is 14 percent worse than the state average, worth discussing with facility leadership for residents at higher clinical risk. The health inspection rating runs 31.5 percent below Tennessee’s average. 20 total health citations since 2020 include 1 serious citation and 3 abuse, neglect, and exploitation deficiencies across six years, with 6 of the 20 citations arising from complaint investigations.

Life Care Center of Blount County suits Blount County families seeking post-acute rehabilitation with strong long-stay clinical outcomes and above-average therapy staffing.

Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes. 45m per day ▲ 21% State avg: 37m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 59m per day ▼ 9% State avg: 1h 5m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility.

Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent. 38m per day ▲ 56% State avg: 24m per day · National avg: 28m per day
