About

West Ridge Specialty Care in Knoxville is the epitome of the ideal skilled nursing facility with state-of-the-art rehabilitation, warm and inviting living quarters and staffed by highly-trained professionals who are dedicated to providing the best care around.

West Ridge features wall-to-wall carpeting in the hallways which makes for a much more homelike setting. Wide open, airy rooms bring in sunlight from the front veranda and courtyard. Private dining areas are open to families and encourages private visits to celebrate special moments. The occasional full-facility gathering such as our family potluck during the holidays or ice cream social in the summer brings in everybody’s family including many of our regular volunteers.

While many of our residents are temporary, making use of our Rehab to Home therapy program, for others this will become their true home and we welcome them with open arms. Daily activities such as bingo, horseshoes, card games and relaxing in the courtyard or planting flowers offers a little something for everyone’s interest. Getting involved in the community by hosting the annual Easter egg hunt, participating in the Homecoming parade and hosting RAGBRAI riders in 2013 makes for a bit more excitement.

It would be a great honor if you would stop by some time for a visit or tour. We look forward to it.
