I had notice lately that the place is not as clean as it used to be. I have found roaches in my brother's drawers. And the rooms floors don't look as clean as before. Don't know if they change administration or what but is not the same. My brother being there for almost 4 years. And I use to love it at first, but now I am a little disappointed. About the staff, even that almost every week they have different CNA but they are friendly and so as the nurses.

My mother has been at Life Care Center of Ocala for three months recovering from breaking her hip and is now a long-term resident. She is continuing to enjoy great meals, great staff, and wonderful activities that keep her busy. She likes being able to get haircuts and has been visited by someone to test her hearing and a podiatrist. She is constantly meeting new people and enjoying herself. We were able to provide her with a small recliner to help her feel more at home. We are very happy with Life Care.

One of the best Rehab centers I’ve seen. My Mother was in four facilities in the Ocala area in recent years. As a former maintenance supervisor of one. This facility and its employees is one of the best! Please keep up the good work.

The work you all put into my mother and caring for her needs is 100%. The work staff is wonderful. For a 92 year old to recover from hip surgery and a broken arm is amazing. She will still have aways ahead of her but you all have her on the right track. Thank you all at Care Life In Ocala
