Wharton Nursing Home

Wharton Nursing Home is a nonprofit-operated skilled nursing facility serving the residents of Pleasant Hill and the broader Cumberland County region of Tennessee. Governed by a corporate nonprofit mission, Wharton prioritizes the well-being of its residents over profit—a commitment that shapes staffing levels, care philosophy, and how resources are reinvested into improving daily life on campus. Pleasant Hill is a quiet, scenic community in Cumberland County, surrounded by the natural splendor of the Upper Cumberland Plateau. The nearby city of Crossville—just a short drive away—serves as the regional hub and offers residents and families access to full-service shopping, dining, and cultural amenities. Crossville's Palace Theatre, a beautifully restored 1939 landmark, hosts community events that keep the area's cultural life vibrant. For outdoor enthusiasts and visiting families, Cumberland Mountain State Park offers year-round recreation including hiking, boating on Byrd Lake, and picnic facilities in a stunning wooded setting. Cumberland Medical Center in Crossville is the regional hospital serving Wharton Nursing Home residents, providing emergency services, surgical care, and specialty clinics. Its proximity ensures that residents requiring hospitalization or specialist consultations receive timely care with a clear care-team connection back to Wharton. The greater Crossville and Cumberland County area has long been recognized as one of Tennessee's most popular retirement destinations, thanks to its mild four-season climate, affordable cost of living, and an abundance of golf courses, lakes, and planned communities like Fairfield Glade. Families choosing Wharton Nursing Home can feel confident that their loved one is situated in a community designed with the needs and enjoyment of older adults in mind. At Wharton, the nonprofit foundation means that care decisions are guided by what is best for residents—not shareholders—and that community trust is earned and maintained every day.
