My mother moved into the Legacy Retirement Community. The facility is very nice, they've been having a problem with COVID but it's ok. They seem to use a lot of salt and we've talked about it, and they don't seem to do any changes to it, but that's my personal preference, mostly. They have activities like movies, bingo, and a few outings. They don't go out for a lot of stuff. Her room is roomy, it's a nice-sized room. I've checked out some other facilities and their rooms are a lot smaller. They're not outgoing as far as helping the people with physical therapy and stuff like that. It's more like you're there and if you want to do something, you go ahead and do it. I think there should be more for the amount of money you're paying. The food could be a lot better.

We have moved into Legacy Retirement Community. We are pleased with the facility itself. We were in another assisted living prior to this. This was quite a bit cheaper per month for a larger apartment. It's an overall nicer apartment. For staffing, it seemed to be much better staffed than where we had been before. We haven't gotten involved in activities yet, but they do have activities.

Both of our parents lived in the independent building for a year and loved it. After mom passed away, dad continues to live there and be with the many friends they made together. The facility is very new and anything that needs repaired is attended to promptly. We have eaten several meals there, and the food is excellent. They can choose off a menu of they don't care for either of the selections offered. There are many activities to attend both onsite and off. The staff is very professional and know the residents by name. Housekeeping staff helps dad keep his place up. We feel very comfortable with all the services provided by Legacy!

I had a chance to visit and tour this facility and had mixed feelings about it. It had an impressive array of amenities including a salon, fitness room, nice dining area, and activity room among others. The staff seemed friendly enough and they seemed well liked by the residents from the interactions I saw. The main issue that I had with this facility was in the living units themselves. I was able to look at several different units (they have 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom, and different layouts which is why I viewed more then one)and saw several problems that I was not comfortable with. In one unit the front door would not close and latch properly and could not be locked. In another unit the kitchen was set up in an 'L' shape with the refidgerator on one side of the L and the oven on the other side. The oven door could not be opened all the way because it hit the refridgerator. And in the last unit that I looked at the kitchen floor was not level, it slanted and the flooring was bubbling up. Over all, I would not feel comfortable putting a loved one in this facility because of the issues in the units themselves. If this was something the facility could resolve then I would be more then willing to take another look and consider it an option.
