In the fourth quarter of 2023, Beverly Park Place Health and Rehabilitation stood out as the largest nursing home in Knox County, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

Data shows that the nursing center had a total of 271 beds available, 142 more than the average in Knox County as of the fourth quarter of 2023. They aided an average of 166.2 residents during that period.

Beverly Park Place Health and Rehabilitation had an overall rating of 1 from the CMS, which lags behind the average of 2.7 recorded for nursing homes in Tennessee.

During the quarter, Westmoreland Health and Rehabilitation Center stood out as the second largest nursing home in Knox County, with 222 beds available. West Hills Health and Rehabilitation came in third place, with 194 beds available.

As of the fourth quarter of 2023, Beverly Park Place Health and Rehabilitation has spent a total of $9,311 in one fine and suffered one penalty.

In total, there were seven non-profit nursing homes in Knox County, Tennessee.

According to US Census data, in 2020, nearly 1 in 6 Americans were aged 65 years or older. Since 1920, the older population skyrocketed from 4.9 million to 55.8 million, reflecting a growth rate of roughly 1,000%, five times higher than the average growth for the overall U.S. population.

A 2021 study suggests that nearly half of this age group, roughly 28 million individuals, may require long-term services and support. Additionally, the study projects that over a third of them may eventually need nursing home care.

“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, an insurance education group. “But when we live a long life, the chances of us needing long-term care increase exponentially. But when you need that type of care, there are limited options.”
