So far so good! My 98 year old mother just moved in yesterday. Her transition could not have been better. All nurse’s , cna’s ( Amanda)admissions personnel( Cassandra) and the front desk have been beyond helpful and kind. We are in memory care and everyone has done everything they can to make her transition from our previous care center seamless. It is such a blessing to know that your loved one is in such a caring and competent place.

In all I think the place is beautiful and everybody was very kind. There was a nurse Chris he was very kind and informative and all around just a nice gentleman. And the lady at the reception desk at the door when you come in I don't know her name but she was fantastic very nice very kind. I appreciate coming into a place that deals with the elderly and they still have kindness in their hearts! Thank you!

I visited a friend at Life Care Center today and the facility is very nice. Super clean, bright and easily navigated. My friend's room was clean and comfortable. My friend said the staff and rehab dept. are wonderful, and meals are really good! With no cleaning or cooking to do, she's almost sad to leave when her rehab is finished!!

My mom is a resident at Life Care, and both her and my experience as a family member have been very good. The unit manager, Jennifer, is PHENOMENAL! I had an issue with my calls not reaching my mom’s phone, and not only did she follow through to assist with allowing me to communicate with my mom but she was so caring and gentle to both my mom and myself. She clearly cares deeply for the residents AND their families. I would give her 100 stars if I could! Stephanie the director is also excellent at making herself available to address and resolve concerns from residents and their families, and I greatly appreciate the regular updates from her regarding the facilities and events. Great team and great care. Thank you so much!
