Serving those who served: veterans of Life Care


As a skilled nursing company, Life Care Centers of America has the privilege of meeting and serving many veterans through our skilled nursing, long-term care and short-term therapy programs. These great men and women show us the true meaning of courage, compassion and commitment.

Below are a couple of the veterans we serve or have served in the past. We believe their stories are worth sharing and that they remind us of everything we have to be thankful for in this county.

They are proud to have served our country. And we are proud to have served them!


Mary Dorsey, therapy patient at Life Care Center of Morehead
U.S. Air Force
 
Mary was admitted to Life Care Center of Morehead for therapy after a fall at home. She served in the Air Force, where she became a flight attendant traveling the world. Her favorite place to visit was Paris, France.
 
In 1961, she was named Miss Armed Forces for 1961.
 
While enlisted, she met her future husband, who was an officer. Shortly after, she left the Air Force and began her family.
 
When asked how long she was in the Air Force, her first response was, “too long but not long enough.” She served our country for 3 years.
