In Their Words – Testimonials from Our Senior Living Clinicians
Mike Rossi, LHCG Senior Living Therapist:
“I live very close to my facility. I love being part of my community, helping my community, and knowing we share a common trait – we reside in the same neighborhood. When I visit and talk to residents, I feel like we can identify through something we have in common – again, our community.
I get to know the residents whether I am seeing them for rehab or not. If I do get to see them for rehab, I truly want to see them succeed. I want them to know they are living here at the facility and that they have a therapist and rehab team with their best interests in mind. I like them to know they have a comfortable, safe setting they can be proud of in their home.”

JOB SCAM ALERT©2024 LHC Group Inc. All rights reserved.
SCAM Alert
As we continue to evolve through the digital age, consumers need to be aware of online scams that use false employment opportunities. These opportunities can service in a multitude of ways from a fraudulent job posting to scammers reaching out to you about a potential work-from-home job. LHC Group cares about the communities we serve and we want to ensure you are prepared for these criminal acts.
Here are a few key steps to help identify the authenticity of the job you are interested in:
1. Be skeptical of personal e-mail addresses. Any legitimate recruiter, HR person, or hiring manager will contact you from a corporate e-mail and never Gmail, Hotmail, AOL, Yahoo, or other free personal e-mail addresses.
2. Never pay to get a job. Legitimate employers will never ask you to send money to acquire a job.
3. Never accept money before working. Never agree to have money deposited into any of your accounts during the job search process.
4. Video interviews – Ensure the company representative is live in the interview. Legitimate recruiters, HR and hiring managers will always show their live self during a video interview.
5. Work from Home – Be cautious of any work from home job opportunity. Especially if you have been contacted by a person with a personal e-mail address, offers to conduct interviews without displaying their live image, and wants to send you money before you work.
6. Verify the job – Legitimate employers will post the position on their career site. Verify that job is on the career site and apply directly through the company’s official site. If you don’t find the job OR a similar job, chances are it is a scam.
