Our read on Nhc Healthcare, Farragut
Nhc Healthcare, Farragut sits in Knoxville with 106 certified beds and a for-profit corporate owner. The inspection history is the strong part: a recent survey in February 2026, 14 deficiencies on record, and none of them tied to harm, jeopardy, or abuse. Quality measures also score well. Staffing is where this home separates from the pack in the wrong direction, a one-star staffing rating, meaning nurse hours per resident fall well below what CMS expects. Turnover runs 46.2%, just above the national average of 45.8%, so the people who do show up don't tend to stay long. A clean inspection record doesn't fix thin coverage on the floor, especially when aides and nurses are cycling through.
