Overview of Nhc Healthcare Murfreesboro

Nhc Healthcare Murfreesboro is a single-story nursing home on North University Street in central Murfreesboro, in a moderately walkable area. The 181-bed facility focuses on short-term rehabilitation and ongoing nursing care, particularly therapy-focused recovery. Families often choose NHC for managing post-hospitalization rehab, orthopedic recovery, or neurological conditions.

The facility’s services include physical, occupational, and speech therapy, as well as a specialized LSVT program for residents with Parkinson’s disease. This breadth of programming shows its full commitment to hands-on recovery work rather than maintenance care alone.

Daily nurse staffing comprises registered nurses averaging 46 minutes per resident, nurse aides providing 2 hours and 29 minutes of direct care, and LPNs and LVNs contributing 35 minutes. This layered staffing structure is to provide consistent and attentive daily care.

Meals are prepared under the oversight of a dietitian and a chef to meet each resident’s specific nutritional needs. Residents have access to in-house services, such as barbering, housekeeping, and laundry, as well as optional home care support for those with complex needs. Families can pay through Medicare and Medicaid, which broadens options for families considering admission.

Visitors walking around the neighborhood can expect a moderately walkable setting. Some errands and nearby services are within walking distance, but most trips require a vehicle.

The facility is best suited for residents who are recovering or need ongoing skilled nursing care, with therapy services and 24-hour staffing for seniors undergoing rehabilitation.

Staffing hours breakdown

Hours per resident per day — compared to Tennessee state averages

Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs 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. 46m per day ▲ 24% 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. 35m per day ▼ 47% 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 29m per day ▲ 16% State avg: 2h 9m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends.

Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants.

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. 35m per day ▲ 40% State avg: 25m per day · National avg: 29m per day
