Enjoyed my visit with Mr Steve Henderson. I arrived during bed changing time, therefore, I went back to the desk to wait unto this process was completed. While waiting, I had at least 4 personnel to ask me if I needed assistance! Great employee service!
My Mom told my sister and me that she feels safe, comfortable and well taken care of at Life Care Center of Pensacola, who is helping her recover from her traumas and restore her capabilities to being more able to take care herself with minimum assistance. Our family can rest at night and day much better, knowing that Mom is getting the overall care that she needs.
My mom was placed at the Life Care Center to rehab from a lengthy hospital stay. I have found several members of this staff extremely pleasant and helpful. Starting with Marilyn, she greets you with a smile during your check-in and checkout. The OT and PT staff are very positive and consistent. Her nurses have been very compassionate and caring when administering my mom’s medication. Kaira and Bessie are always available to talk to you. Jessica G., CN will stop and assist you at anytime. The CNA’s are definitely on the move with numerous responsibilities; Z is my mom’s favorite. I can only imagine the challenges of running a facility of this kind; however the Life Care Center has staff members that make this place a respectable place to help, assist recovery of a loved one.
