A group of us went to visit a friend at Life Care. There were 5 of us visiting and there was a lot of laughter and probably a bit of noise. The staff had no problem with all of us being there and were helpful in getting us another chair. Best of all my friend was happy with the treatment she was given while staying there.

I have seen and experienced so much growth at life care in the past 3 years my family member has been there. All the employees from the smile I get when I walk in the door to the cnas nurses housekeeping kitchen and admin are always friendly and listen when I have a concern. I have experienced genuine love and care for my family member on a consistent basis. Thank you life care!

My family & I are looking for a rehab facility for my wife & our children which the hospital states is needed to increase her strength. We toured Life Care Center with Karla. She gave us a good overview of what services they provide. She also covered the financial items. It appears that this would be a good transition place for the we love. We are expecting a good result from this facility,

My mother is currently in the care of these people and it has been a nightmare. Missing medication, nurse aids with attitude about missing medication and being questioned about it. Medication is very late getting to her. Her food is always cold and hours late as well. While I understand there are alot of residents in this facility, pain medication 2 hours late after requesting it, is unacceptable. She waits over 55 minutes after her call light is pushed to have anyone come in her room. Its insane that this can continue to happen when I have voiced my concerns to them already. I was told to write it down on a comment card...? This place has been known for missing medication as I've recently read in other reviews. Im just appalled at the care she is getting there. You want to trust where your loved ones are and this place fails at that.

My mother Barbara is receiving excellent care at this facility. She has enjoyed the staff, the quiet and clean room, the friendly roommate and good food. They worked closely with Medicare to ensure all her service was covered and provided some nice thoughtful gifts when she arrived.
