We now have a Life Care Center facility going up practically in our back yard. We have tried to raise objections, but to no avail. The city issued a “special permit” to allow these 3 story structures in a residential neighborhood. The mayor seem to believe this is going to be a great thing for our town, even raising our property values.
I believe that someone didn’t do their homework on checking out their reputation in other areas. Isn’t there any way of stopping this before it happens?

I saw people die with nothing to save them,they Lifecare abandoned the patients after they overdosed them,most of the people were geriatric long term care.I am survivor of Hurricane,this company is a disgrace to healthcare.

Lifecare was the entity that murdered the people in Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans,they need to be shut down.

Lifecare center of las vegas killed my mom…..they starved her and dehydrated her and insisted she have a feeding tube put in her stomach because they were to lazy to feed her. Her doctor called me and siad he was admitting to the hospital because her foot was black and had gangreen from the nursing home and he was going to let me know if he would ampitate it…he also asked me about the feeding tube and I said absulating NOT..she was eating for me…I had power of her medical…the next day I went to see my mom because I had not heard from her doctor and the nurse said her kidneys were shuting down and he had put a feeding tube in her stomache and he did not ampitate her foot… they did nothing to save her life…she died a excuinationg death for over 10 hours.. she could not talk and she died in my arms……I was devestated and heart broken and furious that the doctor did the feeding tube without my permission…I found out that they could of put a G tube down her nose….anyway her death certificate says sepis…no mention of of the wrong surgery……I think the staue of limitation is a year but I am not for sure.
