Key Review Excerpts

“My mom went to LMC-EC for rehab after a stroke. Her care was exceptional. The staff was awesome! They were caring, respectful to patients and families. The facility was clean and mom loved the food.”

Rehab patient's family · 2023★★★★★

“There are a few good people there who genuinely care, and it’s a shame that they are lumped in with the rest, but most of the staff I have encountered are unfriendly, borderline unkind (to the residents not me) and seem to be so completely jaded and burnt out.”
