Extremely clean facility! Everyone is very attentive and friendly. The wound care team is THE BEST! My 82 year old mother had a level 4 bedsore and was told it would never heal. After 3 1/2 months my mother WALKED out of LCCenter of East Ridge with a completely healed bedsore!!!! Sarah and Melissa are WONDERFUL! I highly recommend this place!

My Mom was at Life Care of East Ridge for the last three months of 2024. While she was there I spent a lot of time with her and got to know many of the staff. They were all conscientious, professional, kind, knowledgeable, and truly cared about my mother's well-being and comfort. When I couldn't be there with her, I knew she was in good hands. I would definitely recommend the Center to someone needing Rehabilitation or Long-Term Care services.

I wouldn’t send a dog to this place. The careless & unprofessional treatment my grandmother received at this place I have no words for.

The staff has a very personal, caring approach to the residents. Personal concerns and needs were met with prompt compassionate attention. The facilkty is beautifully kept and decorated like a very nice hotel. The gym and therapy staff are top notch! I had a very positive experience.

I am leaving this review to warn others who may be thinking of placing a loved one into the care at Life Care of East Ridge. I would check out other facilities.

My mother is in Life Care Center Of East Ridge and they're wonderful. They keep her room very clean, and the people there were very nice and accommodating. We've never had any problems with them. The food is average, but it always is since they're budgeted. They had continuing physical therapy that my mom was in three times a day. The cost is covered by insurance. The dining area and the whole place has waterfalls and stained glass ceilings. It's like staying at a 5-star hotel. My mother loves t…
