My mom recently had a short stay at Life Care Center of North Glendale after previously being at Paradise Valley last year and I can honestly say the team here was just as excellent. From the moment she arrived, the admission team made the process smooth and welcoming, and the DON Toni was absolutely wonderful throughout her stay. The communication, compassion, and attention of the admission team was also on point. They gave my mom lots of care, rehab and attention during her two-week rehab stay truly made a difference in her recovery. Thanks to the care and support she received, she is now back on track and doing so much better. Our family is very grateful to the entire team at Life Care Center of North Glendale for the outstanding care they provided. Side note: Our aunt who lives in Las Vegas needed rehab after a hip replacement and the one in Las Vegas was great, no disappointments with her care either. It’s reassuring to know there is a facility that consistently provides such compassionate and professional care to families like ours. THANK YOU THANK YOU!

The staff at Life Care Center are all amazing. The nurses and CNA’s that are taking care of my dad are absolutely amazing. They are very supportive and show deep respect for him. Always there to meet his medical needs. The therapists for Physical Therapy Charles, Occupational Therapy Cari, and Speech Therapy Shirtiba were so good with my dad. They helped him to reach his goals to get back to his ability to take care of himself again. My only complaint is the beds my dad said they’re very uncomfortable to sleep in. It made his back hurt every day. We would recommend Life Care Center to patients in need of rehab.

My wife has been at Life Care Center of North Glendale recovering from a fall that resulted in a head injury and concussion. The nurses and all of the staff have been taking very good care of her. Her room is clean and quiet. She is receiving physical therapy every day, is healing and making good progress. It is easy for me to visit my wife. The parking is convenient and close to the entrance. Her room is large enough to accommodate visitors. I can even bring our dog to visit her. Overall we are very pleased and would give Life Care Center of North Glendale a very good recommendation.

Life Care of north Glendale is very clean and the rooms and hallways are very wide, so that patients have plenty of room to move around in wheelchairs or walk. The staff has been very knowledgeable and friendly. There were issues getting medications administered to my family member and it took a long time to resolve. But other than that my experience with this place was positive.

My father has been staying here recently. The nurses and staff seems to be very nice and sweet but the building is in rough shape inside and outside of the building The outdoor courtyard with a fountain is not even on and in disrepair. The walls need repaired and the floors need to be repaired it seems like the entire building is in rough shape and needs repaired.
