About Fort Sanders Tcu

Fort Sanders TCU, located at 1901 Clinch Ave in Knoxville's storied Fort Sanders neighborhood, provides specialized skilled nursing care for residents who require close clinical attention, post-acute recovery, and medically complex support. Operated by Covenant Health — one of East Tennessee's most trusted nonprofit health systems — this community benefits from deep institutional expertise, a mission-driven care philosophy, and direct integration with the broader Covenant Health network of hospitals and specialists. Situated just steps from the University of Tennessee campus, Fort Sanders TCU sits at the heart of one of Knoxville's most vibrant and walkable urban neighborhoods. The historic Fort Sanders area offers families visiting loved ones a wealth of nearby conveniences, from the shops and restaurants along Cumberland Avenue — affectionately known as "The Strip" — to the scenic beauty of World's Fair Park, just minutes away. Sequoyah Hills, one of Knoxville's most beloved residential neighborhoods, lies to the west and offers peaceful riverside walks along the Tennessee River for family members seeking a moment of respite.
