Recently I had the opportunity to attend a event where Life Care Center of Charleston was present. I conversed with the Administrator Collin and Business Development Director Blythe. What a passion they both have to serve their community and be a resource for anyone in need of Healthcare services. Short term rehab, long term care, a secure dementia unit. I was very impressed with the knowledge and commitment they both have to make a difference. I highly recommend reaching out to them if you have a loved one in need. They will be on top of it!
