I used to work here years ago, this is a SAFE place to put your loved ones. Unless they have completely changed what they are about, this is a fantastic establishment that balances things very well. When I left it was on great terms, and they were still fantastic, and when my friend who worked there for 30 plus years left, it was on good terms, and she had nothing but positive things to say.

Chose this place for rehabilitation for a loved one and very much wish I hadn't. One nurse is extremely rude (she told my loved one that she didn't know when his pain pill was due when he asked and that she had a lot of other patients and couldn't remember everyone's medication schedule. This wasn't the only time she was sarcastic and rude). The place also needs some serious remodeling. It's clean, but old.

My aunt lived at the Life Center for about 14 months. She was very happy there and loved her caretakers. She viewed them as family. Many patients have family members who are very involved in their lives and those people also develop friendships and support each other. Everyone has a private room and the residents make them very homey. The food is excellent and visitors are welcome 24 hours a day. I felt very fortunate to have my aunt there for her final year.
