This made me feel like were family and not just a number…”

“I was very pleased with the care I received at NH C Murfreesboro. The Techs and Aides were friendly and knew their jobs. They do need more staff, but staff always put the patients first. I would recommend this facility to anyone who has a family member that needs short term rehab. I also want to thank the PT & OT for their encouragement .”
