My 10 day rehab stay at the Life Center was most excellent. I arrived after surgery and a 4 day hospital stay. I was in a lot of pain and barely able to walk. With the attentive care, comfortable room, delicious food, and superb physical therapy, I was able to heal quickly. I left pain free and on my own legs. The people make the place. The people at the Life Center were wonderful. 5 stars! One high point was the fabulous Thanksgiving meal put on by the staff. That was a turning point for me, it really boosted my morale.

All I can really say is when the new administrator took over, it went from being a nonprofit who genuinely cared about providing excellent care to the elderly, to being a place that wants to make money. Staffing has decreased, administration will belittle you in front of residents, supplies have gotten cheaper. It's become all about the money. Instead of the people. Which is the opposite of what it should be. The morale is low and it's spilling over to the residents.

My aunt lived at the Life Center for about 14 months. She was very happy there and loved her caretakers. She viewed them as family. Many patients have family members who are very involved in their lives and those people also develop friendships and support each other. Everyone has a private room and the residents make them very homey. The food is excellent and visitors are welcome 24 hours a day. I felt very fortunate to have my aunt there for her final year.
