“My sweet mom was in Life Care Center in Lecanto for 3 days shy of 1 year. We LOVED her time there. The atmosphere is great: clean, inviting and full of activities, if that is what you want to do, but I can not say enough good about the people! I was able to be there all the time and see how they all interacted with the residents, with each other and with visitors. I do not recall a bad experience …”

“The place seems well kept up and clean. Our friend was eating lunch when we arrived and the food looked delicious! It looked like a lunch I myself would have very much enjoyed! I'm happy to see my friend being well cared for.”
