National HealthCare Corporation (NHC) has been providing the best in senior care for 50 years.  At NHC, we believe that care should respect the individual, promote recovery, well being and independence.  We believe in celebrating life every day with our patients and residents. NHC currently operates for themselves and third parties 75 skilled nursing facilities with 9,447 beds.  NHC affiliates also operate 24 assisted living communities with 1,210 units, five independent living communities  with 475 units, three behavioral health hospitals, 35 homecare agencies, and 29 hospice agencies.  NHC’s other services include Alzheimer’s and memory care units, pharmacy services, a rehabilitation services company, and providing management and accounting services to third party post-acute operators.

NHC is recognized nationwide as an innovator in the delivery of quality senior care. Our founder, Dr. Carl Adams had a vision in 1971 to provide higher quality healthcare services for seniors. His dream was to create a campus concept that offered in-house services for residents as they age with different needs much like the continuing care retirement community of today.

Decades of pursuing a better way led NHC to our greater commitment toward patient and resident satisfaction with the adoption of our 20 promises. Our Better Way 20 promises mark the continuous commitment to our customers to deliver compassionate care and excellent service.
