Knoxville Rehabilitation Hospital - Knoxville, Tennessee

Knoxville Rehabilitation Hospital in Knoxville, TN and I meant for the first time almost a Year ago. I am not sure that KRH was ready for a 7 foot man, but I was there. UT Hospital moved me there for Rehabilitation in Late December of 2022. I heard from the Nursing Staff at UT Hospital that they are difficult on their patients. Initially, they were correct but I was having a hard time myself. I have a Life altering event happen and I was having a Hard time accepting my forever fate. The staff at Knoxville Rehabilitation Hospital were hard on me but I need that swift kick in the pants to get me moving on the right path to my recovery. Knoxville Rehabilitation Hospital gave me the tools to get me going the right direction. I remember speaking with the Head of Physical Therapy on many occasions about what was expected of me on the Physical and Occupational Therapy stand points, the amount of work that I will need to commit to, to graduate their program successfully and more toward Outpatient Therapy. The Head of Physical Therapy assigned me to 2 different Therapists to help me through my journey. Both of these guys basically told me to be in my Private Patient room as little as possible except to sleep and eat. 1 of the Therapist had me doing laps in the wheelchair through the halls (with the option of using the parking lot if I wanted too.) They kicked my butt however, it needed it. I have progress more on my own and with Outpatient but Knoxville Rehabilitation Hospital got me started. Thank you.

I was in a bad car accident & was transferred from UT for 2 weeks of PT & OT. I was expecting a nursing home environment ~ to my surprise I found myself in a lovely room with private bathroom. I cannot say enough about the care I received from all the nurses & rehabilitation staff. I felt it was a privilege to be able to stay there to start my road to recovery! This facility deserves the highest recognition!

My time with Knoxville Rehabilitation Hospital was tough for me in the beginning. I had some blood pressure issues as well diabetic ones. I just wanted to stay in bed. The nurses were great to me. They were very professional. The therapist encouraged me along the way. By the first week I started to make progress. Needless to say I was in a much better mind set. I start feeling that I wanted to stay longer. I bonded with the staff. I honestly felt I needed another week of therapy. I learned a lot from my therapist. I am recommending to go there if you are in need of therapy. I feel that I made friends for life.
Thank you,

The facility and the staff were first class. Ty was an unbelievable experience that
I wish I would have known about their facility’s last year when I was discharged grimmUT Hospital last year. The sessions were intense and pushed you til your limits. The more you put in the effort the more the reward

I was at Knoxville Rehabilitation Hospital for 11 days receiving both OT and PT. My experience was nothing short of first class. I was always treated with respect and care by all the therapists and the nursing staff. The therapist do a great job at assessing where you're at, what your goals are and then creating a plan to get you there. Everyone did a great job every day making sure we got the most of each day and also finding a way to make the stay enjoyable. I hope that I'm never in a position to need therapy again but if I am, I would not hesitate at all to go back here. I highly recommend Knoxville Rehabilitation Hospital!

The hospital facilities are new, and the nursing and therapy staff seemed knowledgeable and responsive to their patients.

However, the discharge process was chaotic and placed unexpected medical responsibilities on an untrained caregiver, who was instructed to go home and begin doing 4 blood tests and up to 5 injections each day! No written instructions were provided for these procedures, nor had they been discussed during the "family training day" established to prepare the caregiver for continuing rehab at home. The discharge medication list provided was incomplete, as were the prescriptions sent to the pharmacy.

This was disappointing and frustrating and seemingly caught the Saturday staff unprepared, as well.

Fortunately, the patient is surviving the home care. The therapists did provide handouts and references for continuing that work.

I have a lot to say about Knox Rehab! I had to spend a week there because of a stroke. If you ever need a Rehab facility you should choose this one. First the therapists, Emma and Austin are fantastic. They know what you need to get home on your own. Nurses, Courtney and Christine are the most capable and caring people who want to be a help to anyone in need. CNA's Fatima and Izzy both are like sunshine walking into your room. The rooms are large and the food is very good. The only problem is the bed is painful. Overall I am thankful that Knox Rehab was there when I needed it.
