About this facility
Tennova Rehab Care Center is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Knoxville, Tennessee, in Knox County. It has been Medicare-certified since January 1, 1992, and operates as a for-profit facility.
An inpatient rehabilitation facility provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain strength and independence after a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home. This differs from a nursing home, which generally offers a slower pace of custodial or lower-intensity rehabilitative care.
According to CMS Care Compare, the source of this profile, several key quality measures for this facility are not currently published. This includes the rate at which patients are discharged back to the community, potentially-preventable readmission rates during and after the rehabilitation stay, and healthcare-associated infection rates such as catheter-associated urinary tract infections and C. difficile infections. CMS often withholds publication of a measure when the number of qualifying cases is too small to calculate a reliable rate; this is not an indication of poor quality.
Based on the measures CMS has published for this facility, none are reported as better than the national benchmark, and none are reported as worse than the national benchmark — CMS shows 0 of 5 measures better and 0 of 5 worse, largely reflecting the lack of published data. Patients and families are encouraged to review the current Care Compare listing directly and to contact the facility for further details.
