After 3 weeks we moved our loved one from the memory center of Legacy Ridge at Alpharetta. Unfortunately, the caregivers found it acceptable to let him sleep on the floor. I found him in bed as late as 2:00 p.m. lying in his urine from the night before and missing his meals and his timely medication. The staff lacked knowledge and understanding of dementia and Alzheimer's and showed very little patience or empathy when dealing with the residents. Needless to say, we regret entrusting our loved one to the care of Legacy Ridge.

If you are looking for a memory care facility for you love one look no further than Legacy Ridge of Alpharetta. They were so loving and caring to my husband who had dementia. It hard enough putting you loved one into memory card but these people love their residents and so don't hesitate for a minute to put them here. When looking for a facility look for the care being given and the length of employment of the staff. The first time around we looked for the beauty of the building and the staff was terrible. When we came to Legacy Ridge we looked for the staff care. You can bring your love one here and know that they are trained to handle your love one. Look for Teepa Snow training in the facilities.

My mom is in Legacy Ridge at Alpharetta. It's an assisted living care facility, as well as memory care; mom is in memory care. It's a very small community with maybe 30 people. It's very small, very, very nice, newly renovated, and the staff is great. They do a lot of different things, especially in the memory care unit. They play a lot of games like bingo and things of that nature. The thing I like about them is they make sure that even TVs are on old TV shows, nothing current, no news, and things that would disrupt people. They do physical therapy, and they have brain games to keep them engaged. It's very good. And of course, they need them to do those things and make sure they're moving around and not in the rooms all day. My mom's on a special diet so it works out well. The social activities are basically games, and they eat together. Obviously, in memory care they don't go out. There's an outside porch that they can go to and enjoy the sunlight, but it's all controlled access. They make sure they get them outside to get some sun. They also manage the meds and things of that nature. The place is newly renovated. The value for money for health care in memory care is somewhat challenging.
