Fort Sanders Sevier Nursing Home, now known as LeConte Health and Rehabilitation Center, has served the Sevier County community for over thirty years, continuing its strong commitment to exceptional and compassionate care. The transition to its new name is designed to better communicate the facility’s comprehensive approach to health and rehabilitation, as well as its close association with broader healthcare services in the region. The new name, selected through a community-driven process, reflects the wide array of services available to those requiring specialized care, particularly following surgery or extended illness.
As a 54-bed facility, LeConte Health and Rehabilitation Center offers both long-term residential care and short-term rehabilitation for individuals recuperating after a hospital stay. Residents and short-stay patients benefit from the expertise of a dedicated healthcare team that includes registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants. Care is provided 24 hours a day, ensuring that every individual receives attentive and professional support around the clock. In addition, the center employs licensed physical, speech, and occupational therapists who deliver individualized therapy programs, fostering recovery, increased mobility, and improved quality of life for all patients.
LeConte Health and Rehabilitation Center’s commitment to excellence is reflected in its recognition by the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services as a five-star facility, the highest rating attainable. This distinction speaks to the elevated standards maintained in both quality of care and staffing. Whether individuals require ongoing residential care or temporary rehabilitation during recovery, the facility prides itself on being more than a traditional nursing home by creating an environment focused on strength reconditioning, rehabilitation, and holistic wellness for each resident and patient. The continuity of excellent service under its new name ensures that the tradition of care so valued by the Sevier County community will persist for years to come.
