This place is incredible! Three months ago my 82 year old mother was told by the wound care nurse at a rehabilitation center that the stage 4 bedsore she got at the hospital would be what “would eventually get her because it would never heal”. When the physical therapist whispered to me to check out LCCenter of East Ride my initial reaction was absolutely no way I would be putting my mom in a nursing home. HOWEVER after checking the reviews, my family and I decided to give it a shot. BEST DECISION EVER! I cannot say enough good things about the entire staff at LCCenter East Ridge. From the first call (Dale) to the nurses, to the CNAs (Zach, Mignon), and especially Melissa and Sarah the wound care team, they not only cared for the pressure wound but nurtured her spirit! They became friends and when the wound HEALED, mom didn’t want to leave!!!!! They spoiled her❤️! There were many tears the day she walked out of the facility. She is now living mostly independent in an assisted living facility- strong and more healthy than we ever expected her to be.

No one likes to have to go to a facility like a hospital or an extended care place BUT when you do, it's nice to be treated like a human, like someone who still matters. And that's how Life Care is - a very caring, wonderful place. All the help is extremely nice & on the ball. They're constantly checking on their patients several times a day, always offering assistance or anything else the patient needs or asks for. They do a thorough job of checking the patients out, ensuring they get the care & help they need. AND it's very, very clean! A truly wonderful place. I highly recommend it!
