“My grandma is a resident of Life Care of Red Bank. She has the best care at this facility. It has a home like setting for her where she is able to have a few of her favorite things. All the staff treat her as if she was their own mother or grandmother. I am thankful for the care she receives. Thank you staff of LCCRB!”

★★★★Calvin Perkins · 2026-06-05 · via Google

“Staff is usually polite, somewhat attentive to the patients could be a bit better but for the most part, I would give it maybe a eight out of 10, which is good Nothing really bad to say I’ll except missing clothing from my mom‘s clothing area where she keeps her clothes. I almost forgot about that. That was one of the reasons I gave it a eight out of 10.”

★★★★★Pendell Meyers · 2026-07-03 · via Google

“The nurses have been fantastic when my mother was there and since she left. I found coach there a few doors down. Have been dropping by to see him with deserts. The nurse tonight is the best. Coach could have. Really good.”
