Lifecare at Sugar Mountain is an impressively clean, quiet, friendly and active facility. Our friend has enjoyed living at Lifecare and enjoys the support he receives and the meals! Today, our friend had a birthday to celebrate! Our thanks go to Ariel for helping us set up his room for a small party, Todd for helping us prepare for the event and Alex for always greeting us at the front door with a friendly smile. You all have been awesome! Thank you!
Life Care is full of kind heart of people that show a great deal of concern for the residence. I am so thrilled that my mother was able to be admitted! They really are the best place around.
We visited a friend in Lifecare and the staff is amazing .Our friend is getting great care. Our only suggestion is to get new beds and new TVs. The beds are very uncomfortable and squeaky and old as we’ve had family there off and on for many years and we visited quite often. The beds appear to be the same. The TVs are teeny tiny small so I recommend you to get new beds and new TVs, but your staff is amazing. I will specifically mention Lucas. He was excellent and very attending to our friends needs. The care was excellent, and those who were being cared for at the facility were getting excellent care. We visited Saturday, August 16th. From the front desk to the people behind the counter to the attending nurses, Well, done!
The receptionist was very friendly and welcomed my special needs daughter and I with a very big smile . She offered to assist me in getting my daughter who is in a wheelchair to the person we were visiting, which I really appreciated. The nursing staff was very helpful and friendly offering to assist in any way they could ❤️❤️
I have visited my sister at Life Care over the last 10 days or so. . It’s always clean and all the staff are friendly and helpful. But the most important things is, the care my sister has received. She didn’t want to go to rehab. But they’ve done such a wonderful job caring for her, that it’s almost been a vacation for her. And she’s doing so much better. Thank you to each of you caring for her!!
