Nhc Healthcare Murfreesboro is a 181-bed skilled nursing facility at 420 N University St in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, offering long-term care, short-term rehabilitation, respite care, and hospice services, with memory care programming available on-site. The facility is operated by National Healthcare Corporation and accepts Medicare and Medicaid.
Short-stay outcomes are a relative strength. Re-hospitalization among SNF patients runs at 20.2%, roughly 9% better than the Tennessee average, while emergency department visits are 9.9% — about 12% better than the state average. These results show that the post-acute program helps patients return home without frequent setbacks. Rehabilitation services include physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and an LSVT program for patients with Parkinson’s disease — a defined clinical differentiator for that population.
Staffing is mixed. RN coverage averages 46 minutes per resident per day, 24% above the Tennessee average, and nurse aide hours reach 2 hours and 29 minutes, also above the state norm. LPN hours run considerably below the state average, which places more routine bedside care responsibilities on aides. Total nursing hours are around the state average overall.
On-site amenities include a barber and beauty salon, dining room, outdoor areas, and an activity center. The facility is 1.1 miles from Murfreesboro’s city center.
Nhc Healthcare Murfreesboro is best for residents who need short-term post-acute rehabilitation — particularly those with orthopedic, neurological, or medically complex recovery needs. Longer-term residents requiring skilled nursing in a large, full-service SNF setting in Rutherford County will also find the facility a great fit.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
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
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
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
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 3h 26m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 3h 21m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
| 6m per day | ▲ 20% State avg: 5m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
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 |
