Life Care Center of Cleveland sits in a green, peaceful area in Cleveland, TN, less than two miles from Bradley Medical Center, and folks there get a mix of skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and assisted living services, so people needing extra help with medical care or personal care due to safety or health problems have staff at hand around the clock. The place meets federal standards for Medicare and Medicaid, runs on a care model that aims to give residents their dignity and some independence, and follows a Judeo-Christian ethic in treating residents, families, and staff, which is how Life Care Centers of America have gone about things since their start in 1970 with Garden Terrace Convalescent Center. The facility belongs to a bigger network spanning 28 states with more than 260 care centers.
Thirty apartments come with walk-in showers, emergency response systems, cable TV, kitchens or kitchenettes, and handicap-accessible features, besides washers and dryers, housekeeping, maintenance, and sprinkler systems to keep things safe and tidy. Residents get help with daily activities, whether that's bathing, dressing, or eating, and are offered medication management when needed. There's a salon and barbershop for grooming, a dining room, a fitness center, WiFi, guest parking, and a game room, plus transportation for errands or appointments. Medical care covers everything from basic nursing, wound care, podiatry, medication support, and occupational therapy, to bigger needs like infection control and nutritional management, and doctors like Andrea J Bowers, MD, are part of the staff there.
Both short-term rehab and long-term skilled nursing are important, and a team makes an individual care plan to speed up recovery or help maintain skills. They've even got an AquaCiser underwater treadmill for therapy sessions, which isn't something everyone's seen before. Inpatient and outpatient rehab services aim to help restore mobility and strength, and the staff is trained with programs like CNA and Gero Nurse Prep. The community offers social events, health programs, arts, crafts, and education, all with a focus on keeping folks as active as they want to be. They take part in community events, education seminars, and even legislative conferences, and you can find stories like Mary Denton's, which give a look at daily life and care at the center. Life Care Center of Cleveland stays active in professional networks, offers tours, and was recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the 2025 Best Nursing Homes, and while the place aims for high-quality care for everyone, things mostly revolve around the needs and comfort of the residents.
