Life Care residents share what they love about the USA


We recently asked residents at Life Care facilities around the country to share what they like about the United States of America. Here are some of their patriotic answers!

“Freedom – the freedom to live, to do what I want, to pick the job I wanted and choose the religion I want to serve.”
