“I recently had to recover from surgery and had to do physical therapy in order to walk again. I spent 2 and a half months at Life Care Center. The entire staff from the Administration, Registered Nurses, Certified Nurse Assistants, Kitchen Staff and Custodians were awesome. Let me start with the wound care specialist nurse Ms Shereka she is God Sent. God worked through her hands to heal my body. …”
