Life Care Centers of America

Headquartered in Cleveland, Tennessee, the company operates more than 210 skilled nursing facilities across 28 states and employs over 38,000 associates. The Whiting, Indiana location is part of this broader network, specializing in skilled nursing, post-acute rehabilitation, and long-term care services. With over 46 years of experience, LCCA positions itself as an established leader in the long-term care industry, rooted in a Judeo-Christian ethic that emphasizes both resident care and associate value. For nurses, LCCA offers opportunities in skilled nursing environments where RNs provide clinical supervision to CNAs and LPNs, conduct ongoing patient assessments, and revise care plans based on changing patient conditions. The organization welcomes new graduates, making it a potential entry point for early-career nurses. However, employee reviews suggest a mixed experience, with average ratings across multiple categories including work-life balance, pay and benefits, management, and workplace culture. Nurses considering this employer should weigh the stability of a large, established organization against concerns raised in reviews about management support, trust among colleagues, and inclusivity.

LCCA's mission centers on two foundational principles: (1) patients and residents are the highest priority and deserve superior quality care and customer service, and (2) associates are the most valuable resource in serving those entrusted to the organization. Core values include preserving resident dignity, self-respect, and rights in a loving, caring environment; a resident-centered approach to total care needs; family involvement in resident care; community responsiveness; cost-effective resource management; and fostering relationships with local educational institutions. The organization is rooted in a Judeo-Christian ethic and emphasizes being a good corporate citizen in the communities it serves.
