Nhc Healthcare - Farragut sits in Knox County and has served seniors since 1971, offering a wide range of care including skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care, respite care, hospice, rehabilitation, and home care all on one large campus that includes courtyards, walking trails, gazebos, and outdoor areas so folks can get some fresh air. The place includes a 100-bed post-acute health care center, an 84-apartment assisted living center, and a 60-bed Cavette Hill Assisted Living & Memory Care Center, and the rooms come furnished with private bathrooms, cable TV, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and emergency alert systems for safety-plus people can pick from floor plans like The Kingston, The McFee, and The Neyland.
Residents get help with their daily activities such as bathing, dressing, eating, moving around, medication, and incontinence, and they can also count on a trained team that provides 24-hour nursing care and supervision, with special supports like a Medical Director, Nurse Practitioner, Resident Attendants, Resident Liaison, Social Program Director, and Dietary Manager. If someone needs more than basic care, Nhc Healthcare - Farragut offers skilled medical services like wound care, IV therapy, tube feeding, high-level nursing, and mental health counseling, and they provide rehabilitation services including physical, speech, and occupational therapy with outpatient options for folks who have a doctor's prescription, covering things like joint replacement, stroke recovery, pain rehab, and Parkinson's therapies such as LSVT.
For folks worried about paying, the community accepts Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, long-term care insurance, and private pay, but not every service is Medicaid-covered, so checking ahead helps. There's a strong effort to help families sort out Medicaid eligibility and income limits, with information on Medicare long-term care choices, Veterans Aid and Benefits, and long-term care planning, along with aid in comparing costs and picking nursing homes or assisted living in Knox and nearby counties. Nhc Healthcare - Farragut works with the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program and gives information on resident rights, complaint help, and support programs to keep people safe and informed.

There are lots of activities, like music, arts, wellness classes, fitness center, spa/sauna, game room, movie nights, spiritual services, and special outings, and the community keeps up organized group, family, and resident councils so everyone can share ideas or voice concerns.
