Life Care Center of Blount County accepts Medicare and private pay.
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. A $8,000 civil money penalty was assessed in July 2024. RN hours at 49 minutes per resident per day are 32 percent above Tennessee’s 37 minutes average, and weekend RN hours at 39 minutes per day are 63 percent above the state benchmark of 24 minutes. Physical therapist hours at 9 minutes per day are 80 percent above Tennessee’s average, supporting the facility’s rehabilitation focus.
Amenities are an Alzheimer’s and dementia care program, a fine dining program, a Community Re-Entry Program, and landscaped grounds and courtyards.
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. Families should review the abuse and neglect citations, complaint investigation history, and the worse-than-state-average short-stay re-hospitalization for residents at higher clinical risk before finalizing placement.
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.

Standout metric
Physical Therapist is +80% above state avg
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
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.
| 49m per day | ▲ 32% State avg: 37m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
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.
| 1h 8m per day | ▲ 5% State avg: 1h 5m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 1h 49m per day | ▼ 16% State avg: 2h 9m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 2h 59m per day | ▼ 11% State avg: 3h 21m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
| 9m per day | ▲ 80% State avg: 5m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
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.
| 39m per day | ▲ 63% State avg: 24m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
