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.
