NHC Place at Cool Springs, which opened in June 2004, is the first senior care community in Williamson County that includes an Assisted Living Center and a multi-specialty Health Center on a single campus.

Our Philosophy: The NHC Campus Concept:

National HealthCare Corporation (NHC) was founded in 1971 by Dr. Carl E. Adams, a physician, business and community leader from Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

The late doctor and his wife Jennie Mae dreamed of building a “campus concept” that provides a continuum of care for older adults. A place where residents and patients could live as independently as possible in a beautiful, secure and caring environment, free from the daily burdens involved in maintaining a home and with access to medical care if a when they needed it. Also, married couples could stay together, even if their health care needs were different.

Mission

At NHC, care is our business. Care that respects the individual. Care that promotes recovery, well being and independence. Care that seeks to meet all standards of quality.
