“Today I visited my friend who is recovering from hip replacement surgery. I was very impressed with how happy everyone was. Both staff and patients were smiling and friendly. The section of the facility I visited appeared and smelled clean and well kept. In the future if I’m in need of a facility in which to rehabilitate post surgery, Life Care Center of Leominster would be my first choice.”
