“My family & I are looking for a rehab facility for my wife & our children which the hospital states is needed to increase her strength. We toured Life Care Center with Karla. She gave us a good overview of what services they provide. She also covered the financial items. It appears that this would be a good transition place for the we love. We are expecting a good result from this facility,”

★★★★★Vicky Bronstad · 2026-07-15 · via Google

“A group of us went to visit a friend at Life Care. There were 5 of us visiting and there was a lot of laughter and probably a bit of noise. The staff had no problem with all of us being there and were helpful in getting us another chair. Best of all my friend was happy with the treatment she was given while staying there.”

★★★★Andrea Kama · 2026-07-10 · via Google

All the employees from the smile I get when I walk in the door to the cnas nurses housekeeping kitchen and admin are always friendly and listen when I have a concern. I have experienced genuine love and care for my family member on a consistent basis. Thank you life care!”
