Knox County Nursing Home District runs on county government ownership, which usually means stable funding but also slower movement on problems. The staffing numbers are close to average on paper, 3.83 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86, but weekends drop about 12% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the care your family member gets on a Saturday won't match a Tuesday. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 37 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, plus a $93,280 fine. The last inspection was February 2024, so that record is recent. Ask specifically how weekend shifts are covered before you decide.

Lawrence County Manor reports 0.39 total nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly a tenth of the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about a third thinner than weekdays already are. Staff turnover sits at 93.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people who do show up are largely new. The inspection record shows 32 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and six tied to abuse, with a single fine of $13,762 and a health inspection rating of 1 out of 5. County ownership doesn't change any of that. If you're considering this home, the staffing numbers are the ones to ask about directly.
