The Knox County Nursing Home staff interacts well with residents and their families. There are activities and outings for the residents to enjoy. Many visitors frequent the nursing home to provide entertainment for the residents. The facility itself is nicely decorated and the rooms are nicely sized. It also has a large dining area. Knox County Nursing Home is a rather large facility compared to other facilities in the area. It has an incredibly large yard and sits at the edge of town away from traffic in a very peaceful spot.The bad news about this facility is that the staff to resident ratio does not allow much individual time with the residents. This hinders the ability of available staff to provide attentive and proper care to the residents. This may direclty relate to Knox County Nursing home having had multiple deficiencies in 2011. A total of 16 deficiencies ranging from "potential for minimal harm" to "actual harm" were cited. There is one other rather disturbing fact about this nursing home. It happens to sit directly across the street from a cemetary. This may not be the best inspiration to the residents of the facility.
