Since our first facility opened in 1970 by chairman and founder Forrest L. Preston, Life Care's associates have positively impacted the company's mission of providing exceptional patient care. Life Care and its affiliates own or manage more than 200 facilities and employ approximately 40,000 individuals who strive daily to make a difference in the lives of those we serve. Our facilities offer multiple levels of patient care and services, which vary by location, including assisted living, independent living and skilled nursing. We also offer post-acute care and inpatient and outpatient therapy in well-equipped, on-site rehabilitation gyms. We believe that as a privately owned company, Life Care Centers of America stands apart from others. We offer a resident-centered corporate culture with more than 40 years of experience, stability and success. Our modern and well-maintained facilities feature strong multidisciplinary teams, specialty programs and opportunities for continuing education.
