Located on East College Street in Pulaski, Tennessee, Nhc HealthCare, Pulaski is a skilled nursing facility offering nursing home, home care, and hospice care partnership services alongside skilled nursing. The facility is operated by NHC Healthcare/Pulaski, LLC and led by administrator Douglas Wong. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families several ways to cover both short-term rehabilitation stays and longer-term nursing care.
The 102-bed community typically runs near 85% occupancy, reflecting steady demand in the Pulaski area. The surrounding neighborhood’s walk score is 75, which is considered very walkable. Many everyday errands can be handled on foot. Its size and location make it a practical option for families who want a full-service nursing home close to daily conveniences.
Care here leans toward short-term, post-acute rehabilitation. Residents stay an average of 99 days before returning home or to the community. Rehabilitation services and short-term rehab programming support that focus. There’s around-the-clock staffing that keeps clinical coverage in place at all hours. Nursing staff provides roughly 3 hours and 22 minutes of hands-on care per resident daily. The facility’s NHC Homecare and Caris Hospice partnerships extend support for residents transitioning home or nearing end of life.
The facility’s inspections have most often centered on pharmacy and medication management practices, along with infection control and nutrition-related processes. Broader questions of resident quality of care draw comparatively less attention. Families touring the community should ask how those areas are handled daily.
Amenities on-site include high-speed wireless internet, cable television in every room, housekeeping and laundry service, and an on-site beauty and barber shop. Residents can join in daily activities and entertainment programming, spend time in the dining room, or relax in the outdoor area. These features a full-service nursing home built around both short-term recovery and ongoing care.
NHC HealthCare, Pulaski is administered by Douglas Wong.
