Life Care Center is a great place for my Sister to be. Whenever I have visited her, the staff have been very professional, knowledge and kind. My sister loves the weekly Bingo games and other activities the center provides for the residents.

I was very happy with the intake of my mother who had recently had a stroke . Immediately from the hospital,they greeted her and someone was there waiting with a wheelchair and take her to her roo..They had her lunch waiting there for her, a cup filled with ice water and a cute little message on her whiteboard saying:"Welcome".All the staff came in and welcomed her as well.It was a great experience.
