Overview of Nhc Healthcare Tullahoma

Located about 2 miles from the city’s center, Nhc Healthcare Tullahoma is a skilled nursing and post-acute care community in the Pineview Heights neighborhood of Tullahoma, Tennessee. The single-story campus provides nursing home care, home care, and hospice services. It’s a part of a broader continuum that also includes assisted living, independent living, and memory care on-site.

The 99-bed community has hands-on staffing presence throughout the day. Registered nurses average 55 minutes per resident daily, licensed practical and vocational nurses average 51 minutes, and nurse aides average 2 hours and 11 minutes. These are supported by round-the-clock staffing. That mix gives residents both clinical oversight from RNs and the steady daily assistance nurse aides typically provide.

Rehabilitation is a central part of the community’s identity. On-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy support residents recovering from surgery, stroke, or illness. The LSVT program adds a therapy track designed specifically for residents managing Parkinson’s disease. Memory care is also available on-site for residents who need a specialized level of support.

CMS quality data tracked for the community focuses on post-acute recovery. These include how often residents return to the hospital or emergency department after a stay and how often they successfully return home or to the community following short-term rehabilitation. These measures are important outcomes families should know when weighing a short-stay rehab option.

Residents have access to a barber shop, a dining room, and access to secured outdoor space. Housekeeping and laundry services are handled by the facility. A volunteer program adds a social dimension to daily activities. The neighborhood has a walk score of 23, which means it’s car-dependent. Most errands and outings require driving.

Hours per resident per day vs Tennessee averages

Staff type
Hours / day / resident
vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
55m
+49% State avg: 37m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
51m
−23% State avg: 1h 6m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
2h 11m
Avg State avg: 2h 9m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day

11m
+120% State avg: 5m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
