About West Hills Health and Rehab

+
West Hills Health and Rehab is a nonprofit skilled nursing facility situated on Middlebrook Pike in Knoxville's West Hills neighborhood — one of the city's most enduring and family-oriented residential communities. Operated as a nonprofit corporation, West Hills Health and Rehab is structured around mission over margin, channeling resources into staffing quality, resident programs, and clinical care rather than investor returns. That organizational commitment shapes every aspect of the resident experience. The facility provides the full range of skilled nursing services: round-the-clock licensed nursing care, short-term post-acute rehabilitation following hospitalization, long-term nursing placement for those with complex or chronic medical needs, restorative therapy programs, and individualized care planning coordinated with physicians and family members. Skilled nursing at this level is designed for residents who require clinical oversight, specialized wound care, IV therapies, or rehabilitative services that cannot be safely provided in a lower-acuity setting. The Middlebrook Pike address places West Hills Health and Rehab in an accessible, well-resourced part of West Knoxville. Parkwest Medical Center is among the nearest acute care hospitals, providing emergency services, cardiac care, and a range of surgical and medical specialties that make hospital-to-rehab transitions smooth and efficient. The Cedar Bluff and Bearden areas along Kingston Pike are minutes away, offering families a wide selection of dining options before and after visits — from local Knoxville staples to national chains. The West Hills neighborhood itself is characterized by mature trees, established streets, and the kind of quiet stability that families value when making long-term care decisions. Sequoyah Hills Park and its scenic riverside greenway along the Tennessee River are nearby, providing beautiful surroundings for family outings. Lakeshore Park, a favorite West Knoxville recreation destination, is also a short drive away. For families seeking a mission-driven, nonprofit skilled nursing provider in West Knoxville, West Hills Health and Rehab offers the combination of clinical capability, community roots, and organizational accountability that makes a meaningful difference in long-term care decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

+
What makes West Hills Health and Rehab different from for-profit skilled nursing facilities? +

As a nonprofit corporation, West Hills Health and Rehab reinvests revenue back into operations, staffing, and resident programs rather than distributing profits to shareholders. This structure often results in higher staffing ratios, stronger community ties, and a mission-centered culture. Families should ask the facility about its specific quality metrics, inspection results, and staffing levels when evaluating fit.

What hospitals are near West Hills Health and Rehab on Middlebrook Pike? +

Parkwest Medical Center on Park West Boulevard is the closest major acute care hospital, offering emergency services, surgical care, cardiac programs, and a full range of medical specialties. Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center and the University of Tennessee Medical Center are also accessible via Kingston Pike and the interstate network for higher-level specialty needs.

Does the facility offer both short-term rehab and long-term skilled nursing? +

Yes. West Hills Health and Rehab serves both short-term post-acute rehabilitation patients — typically individuals recovering from joint replacement, cardiac events, or other hospitalizations — and long-term residents who require ongoing skilled nursing care. Physical, occupational, and speech therapies are available to support rehabilitation goals.

What is the West Hills neighborhood of Knoxville like? +

West Hills is one of Knoxville's most established residential communities, known for its tree-lined streets, well-maintained homes, and a quiet suburban character. It sits near the Sequoyah Hills area along the Tennessee River, with access to scenic greenways and parks. The Bearden and Cedar Bluff areas along Kingston Pike are just minutes away with ample dining, shopping, and services for visiting families.

How do I contact West Hills Health and Rehab to ask about admission? +
