My mother is a resident here, and I have been pleasantly surprised by how well this place is run. I’m an advocate for her care, and have recently consulted with her team about movement therapy. Today when I visited, I noticed the difference right after she received her therapy. She was more engaged and aware of what we were discussing. Given that we only have so much time left, that means the world to me. They have continually been gracious in hearing my feedback and concerns. This will never be forgotten. Thank you to the team at Life Care.

My experience as a visitor at life care has been an excellent experience. I’m greeted with a very positive and supportive welcome. The staff is very pleasant,helpful,caring and positively social. No question goes unanswered.No work undone. It is very clean with a calm atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and my mother Mary Leonard loves them all. Our family has seen a great change in her since she has been there. Although she can’t remember names she has a smile and beautiful report everyday about the staff. We are very pleased and grateful to have the opportunity to be a part of the Life care center.

As a home care agency owner I can say that this is an excellent facility. The staff here do an outstanding job taking care of the residents. Everything from the food to the activities here are first rate. I visit a lot of facilities and I can honestly say this is among the best. I am especially impressed with the social services department. Anytime we take care of a discharging patient, Stephen, Roneisha, and Megan always help to make the transition home as smooth as possible. I would strongly recommend this facility.

My wife Lorna moved in here to the memory care unit over 4 months ago from Lake Mariam. This place is very nice and clean. The staff is very good and they are on top of Lorna’s needed eye drop medication and it’s helped her immensely. I think Lorna loves it here, add a great kitchen staff, plus the food is very good. I can also buy a dinner and eat with her occasionally at a modest price. The hallways are brighter, a beautifully designed building and lovely lunch area with places for hair care professionals and Lorna has her hair shampooed and cut in the local salon with Crissy in the building. Also, there’s an ice cream parlor down the hall towards the front as well. Great parking and easy access to the main entrance.! Plus I can join her for a movie in the media center and have a snack.
