Tri County Nursing Home has become a reality because of the pressing need for a first-class nursing facility in the Lower Suwannee River Valley embracing the Florida counties of Gilchrist, Dixie, and Levy. Area citizens recognized and responded to the need, forming a not-for-profit entity to develop and operate the quality healthcare center they knew would be a great asset to the community. So Tri County Nursing Home came into being as a result of there being caring people.
