Doing "Whatever it Takes" for Today’s Seniors A Company Built on Values Life Care Centers of America traces its roots to the establishment of the first facility, known as Garden Terrace Convalescent Center, in Cleveland, Tennessee. Built by Forrest L. Preston in his hometown, it opened on January 4, 1970. Between 1970 and 1976, Preston developed a total of six centers--five in Tennessee and one in Altamonte Springs, Florida. Realizing he could not personally manage all six, he incorporated Life Care Centers of America on January 6, 1976, to become the management company for these properties and any others that might be built or acquired. The corporate offices are in Cleveland, Tennessee, near that first nursing center, which has been renamed Life Care Center of Cleveland. The company has grown to more than 260 skilled nursing, home health care, outpatient, assisted living and retirement centers in 28 states, from Massachusetts on the Eastern Seaboard to Hilo, Hawaii, in the West. The company has six operating divisions with headquarters in Burlington, Massachusetts; Indianapolis, Indiana; Denver, Colorado; Scottsdale, Arizona; and Seattle, Washington, in addition to Cleveland, Tennessee. Life Care’s corporate culture is grounded in the Judeo-Christian ethic of treating people—residents, families, associates and others—with compassion, dignity and respect in the provision of quality care and services to those who need them. Join the Life Care family as we live up to our customer service goal of doing “whatever it takes” to meet the needs of today’s Seniors. |
