I visited a close friend who's rehabbing for a spine/back injury from a fall. She rather be home, but she's comfortable waiting for test/X-ray results. My visit was pleasant. The facility is pleasant and I'm glad my friend had no complaints.

My mom's been at Auburn Life Care for almost three years now. Deciding to move mom there was tough, but it was all about keeping her safe. She's got more independence now, and she hasn't had any falls like she did at home. Back then, living on the third floor made it hard for her to get to appointments, but now it's alot easier. The staff is always there for her, especially during her crying episodes. My mom can be a handful—I know, I took care of her for 15 years. She doesn't hold back her feelings, but the staff gets it and helps her through those tough times. I've read other reviews, and I know no nursing home is perfect. We tried nine different places before, and I pulled her out of some within minutes. But Auburn Life Care has been different. Mom's happy here, and as long as she's happy, I am too. Thank you to, Auburn Life Care and their staff!
