Knox County Hospital Home Health provides home health care to the residents of Knox County and the surrounding area. There is “no place like home” and it is our mission to help patients recover from an illness or recent hospitalization in the comfort of their own home. Our Home Health staff provides professional, caring services of various levels ordered by the patient’s Physician. Our highly trained staff also teaches families what they need to know to help them care for their loved one when the patient transitions back into their home environment or recovers from an illness.
- Part-time nursing
- Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, or Speech Therapy
- Have a skilled health need resulting from an illness or injury
- Require care which is ordered by your physician

- Skilled Nursing – Registered nurses do an initial intake and work closely with the physician to coordinate the patient’s treatment plan to ensure an effective and safe plan of medical care. Licensed Vocational Nurses work with the RN to administer services which include wound care, catheter care, monitoring of illness, and associated medications.
