The Palmettos Assisted Living & Memory Care is owned and operated as a division of National HealthCare Corporation (NHC). Founded in 1971 by Dr. Carl Adams, NHC has been an innovator in quality long-term care for 51 years. NHC’s commitment to excellence coupled with the compassion that Dr. Adams possessed has been passed on to his sons and grandchildren, who still run the company today. Dr. Adams’ mission in starting NHC was to be the country’s leading provider of long-term care by putting ethics and quality first. This winning combination has propelled NHC’s growth over the years to include skilled nursing care, short-term rehabilitation, assisted living communities, home healthcare, hospice services and independent living communities. The Palmettos Assisted Living & Memory Care continues in NHC’s commitment to excellence by providing quality care that exceeds the standards of other assisted living communities.
