Company Overview

Improving the lives of people with severe illness or injury takes more than skill and compassion - it takes innovation.

A pioneer in long term acute care, LifeCare was built on the belief that early and aggressive intervention coupled with a personalized treatment plan that encompasses body, mind and soul can maximize a patient's potential for recovery. This philosophy has impacted the lives of thousands of LifeCare patients, resulting in improved outcomes, shorter hospital stays and more cost-effective treatment.

Based in Plano, Texas, LifeCare operates both freestanding and "hospital-in-hospital" long term acute care hospitals designed to treat medically complex patients who require acute care hospital services for an extended period of time, generally more than 25 days. Currently, the company's network includes 19 locations in 9 states.
