Eighteen cases of novel coronavirus have been confirmed in Washington state, and six people – including the four from Life Care Center – have died. Those who perished ranged in age from their 40s to their 80s, and at least three had underlying health conditions. As a precaution, emergency medical technicians will now wear protective clothing every time they respond to a report of a sick person, even if that person does not mention coronavirus symptoms, Stickney said. The staff at Burlington life care are always available when I need to vent or just to play around. I have been here for about a year and I like it better than my last placement.

Every time she used her call button for assistance to the restroom, she was forced to wait 40 minutes or more. I timed them after I realized how much it was happening. She was forced to get herself to the restroom alone out of desperation only a couple of weeks after surgery. They continually forgot to bring her her pain medication even upon request. They also sent attendants to "assist" her to the restroom that had no idea how to get her up, in which case she was again forced to get herself up in extreme pain. I had my grandmother placed in this facility.
Where passion and care live.
They promised to help mom dress each day for ther therapy sessions. Our goal for therapy was for her to be able to get dressed! Her sleepwear and socks were NEVER changed even though her clean clothes were hung up in the room. Dirty laundry stayed in the room for days, making room smell bad. Mom was a fall risk and had orders for a bed alert.

They had previously told me I wasn't allowed to take my boyfriend to the appointment because I wasn't experienced. When I arrived at my boyfriend's appointment and some random taxi guy was helping him out of the car, I realized Life Care has absolutely no organization skills. When my boyfriend finally came home, the wheel chair they gave him broke within about 3 weeks . Finally we just drove him up there to demand a working chair! While all the staff were very nice, I would never send a loved one here again.
Our residents and patients matter most at Life Care Centers of America. Whether you’re looking for short-term rehab as you recover from surgery or you’re needing some extended medical care, our skilled nursing and rehabilitation centers are here for you. First walking into the facility I felt a little uncomfortable cause there was nobody in the lobby area.
I also will be interest in seeing if anyone from Life Care reaches out to me. My mom is in Life Care Center of Port St. Lucie. It was basically the only one available when she had a knee replacement. They have good therapy, but not great nursing care. Her room is fine, she's comfortable, and it's clean. She doesn't like that, but that's just the way it is.

I have been doing outpatient therapy with Tom for a month now. His therapy is as good or better than the outpatient therapy I was doing before. He works me, but that is needed after a knee replacement. I have been very satisfied with the therapy and the results. Life Care's commitment to being a premier provider of care.
The parking situation for visitors was awful, but I do believe this was partially due to road construction nearby. The lady at the front was very rude to me when she finally showed up. As far as my grandmother goes, the staff she interacted with during our stay was patient and very kind to her. The grounds and overall facility seemed to be very well cared for, maintained and actually quite lovely. The outdoor garden was very pretty, the dining area was clean and served better then expected food. I also liked that there are people of all ages working there, I think the seniors especially enjoy the kind young faces.
The day shift nurses are quite busy even though there doesn't seem to be that much to be busy about. The male nurses I've found are much friendlier, especially the one on south hall. The care giving aids were very helpful in the morning and the overnight girls are great. But somewhere on the swing shift things fell apart.
