NHC

National Healthcare Corp

A senior care operator based in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, that runs skilled nursing, rehabilitation, assisted living, and memory care communities across the southeastern United States. It was founded in 1971 by physician Dr. Carl Adams, who pioneered a "campus concept" where seniors could move between levels of care as their needs changed without leaving their community. The name reflects Adams's ambition to bring comprehensive senior health care to a broad, national scale.
