I actually did a lot of research before picking this place. Having one bad experience was enough to learn my lesson and not let the hospital coordinator choose the assisted living facility. I was about to learn another huge lesson: high ratings on a website means nothing.
Life Care Center smells like urine as soon as you walk in and you better know where you're going and have a room number because you can't ever find someone that works there. This place is more rest home than rehab...what am I saying, this is a nursing home. The rehab this facility offers is a joke. They wheel out their patients into the hallway and they sit there ALL DAY never getting changed and reeking of urine. It's a pretty sad scene, I cried the first time I came to visit my loved one here and started working immediately to get them out of that horrible place. After a few days of fighting with the insurance company, they won and we had to settle in that crap hole for 4 months. With only our sense of humor to fall back on we started calling it skid row for seniors.
The food was horrible. The rehab was nonexistent. I had a really bad experience in a meeting with the director, head nurse and physical therapist but it gave me a better understanding of why this facility is so mismanaged. The nurses try to put everyone in these "protection pants", the best way I can describe them is as a cushioned chastity belt. Apparently they are supposed to protect you from injuring yourself when you fall but I believe they use them because they keep the urine from leaking everywhere. We declined signing the consent to wear the pants and the orderly whispered "good, these poor people are too dim witted to know what they are signing".
