Life Care Center of Columbia

Life Care Center has a decent reputation and is one of the larger nursing homes in Columbia. I have been regularly transporting patients to and from there for many years. As far as the building itself goes, I would rate it a 4/5 - the only thing that keeps it from a 5 is that it feels slightly more like a hospital than a place for people to live. The staff is very caring and friendly, and they provide lots of activities for their patients. Amenities include a large dining hall, a library, a barber shop/beauty shop, and even an Ice Cream Parlor (My personal favorite). The staff in the Alzheimer's/Dementia wing of Life Care is of particular note. They have always been very kind and compassionate towards any patient I've ever brought into their ward. While Life Care is certainly not the absolute best facility in Columbia, it is far from the worst and I would recommend it.

Life Care seems to have an intense desire to help your loved ones recuperate from an unexpected wreck, sugery, illness, etc .They even offer private services such as running errands, shopping and a little housekeeping as well. Great atmosphere. They're so serious that they have over 200 centers in 28 different states, EVEN HAWAII....Whoa!
