Reflections Alzheimer's and Memory Care

Dedication to Service

Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's or other memory impairments is a very personal, loving dedication to service. It requires service for specific and individual needs.

More often, the resident with memory loss needs assistance with life's daily activities including personal care but may not have an acute medical condition requiring around the clock skilled nursing or instruction. Finding that unique combination of physical setting and specialized care is a journey traveled by many families.

The Reflections Program

At Reflections, our trained staff works closely with family members and friends to assemble a "Life History" identifying the personal experiences of each resident's life.

Through the "Life History," we get to know the personality behind the person, fostering a one-to-one association more like "friend to friend" rather than "staff to patient." Details and events from your loved one's past become "shared" memories and experiences serving as a foundation for activities, communication, and the development of friendships built on support, understanding and mutual respect.

Laundry Services - personal and linen
Housekeeping
24 hour-a-day specially trained staff
Three daily meals plus snacks

I went to Legend at Rivendell. It was great. It's a nice facility. It was clean, it was fresh smelling, it was attractive, and the people there seemed to be extremely pleasant. I have nothing but good to say about it. I haven't tried the food, but they have different functions going on sometimes, and I've attended those in the past, and the food has always been excellent. They have something going all day long every day. Exercises, like yesterday they were getting ready to go to Sonic to have cocktail hour at Sonic Drive-in, they play bingo, they play cards. You can be as busy as you want to be or not participate, it's your choice.

My mother has been staying in the Legend at Rivendell for three weeks now. They have a welcoming, attentive, professional, and loving staff. We chose this place for her because the communication with the staff and the family is excellent, and the facility is beautiful, bright, and clean, and I like that my mom's needs are met. She's very happy there. The room that was available for us was small, so we're on a waiting list for a bigger room, but the room she currently has is clean and meets her needs for now. The dining area feels like a restaurant. It is very welcoming. There are lots of white tablecloths and the setting of the tables made the residents feel very special. The chef came out and met us too. I've seen him talking every day to the residents and they all love him. The food is high quality and nutritious.

My impression of Legend at Rivendell is that they are very focused on their residents and their comfort and their happiness. Their chef has been there for a very long time. He's focused on getting it right and making sure that they all have what they need and what they want and when they want it. That has been a big deal. The rooms are very small, but it's assisted living, so they're not cooking their meals or anything. The facility was very nice, and I like it. I think Mom would be very comfortable there. The staff seemed very caring and very attentive to the residents and their needs, and what they're all about. They seem to be meeting the needs and desires of their residents and making sure that they're comfortable and happy and also getting exercise. They have an exercise class every day, and I like that. They have a beauty salon, they have books, have puzzles, have entertainment, and have activities. I met the activities director and I like her. She was very informed, very intelligent, and very caring. The other thing about this facility is that it is very expensive. You can get a bigger room, but it is nearly $6000 a month, so it is very expensive.

My wife was at Legend at Rivendell. It was really good until COVID. It's in lockdown, so you can't see anybody. She was there from January until two weeks ago. The staff was great. They all took good care of my wife and they loved her. She loved them. It was all great. However, I didn't like the setting because I never could see her. They had 25 people in the section, and my wife had her own room. It was a private room. It was good as it could be. Food was OK. I would go there and eat with her before their lockdown, so it was OK. It was a very nice place. There was a young lady in there that kept them busy all the time doing activities.

Legend at Rivendell was a beautiful facility. They only had their two specialty rooms available and everything else was taken, which speaks pretty highly of their facility. The staff member was absolutely wonderful. They introduced themselves and talked to my aunt and encouraged her to come and move there. They would have assigned her a staff person for the first month to make sure that she had someone to walk her down to the meals and to encourage her to get out and participate in activities. They had beautiful courtyards. It's a quiet environment and they can age in place there. The dining area was very well laid out.

Legend at Rivendell was very nice. The rooms were very good. The person during the tour did a very nice job. The only reason we did not go there was because of the price.

Legend at Rivendell is a very nice community, very communicating, very open, receptive, personable, and they went the extra mile. My husband was going to get a higher level of care, which would've had a 24-hour LPN on-staff. They have the sliding barn doors instead of a standard door, and they have a smaller dining area for the people that have higher needs. It was a clean and nice facility.

Rivendell had very nice facilities. The people were really nice to us, and it’s a really big community. However, they were probably the most expensive one. The staff was very good, very professional, and took care of the people. The people seemed like they were OK and happy.

My father spent his last 7 months of life at Legend at Rivendell. My mother and I are very happy with the care he received. The attitude and spirit of the staff were supportive towards my father and family, and I am indebted to them for how special they made dad feel his last few months. My mother and I visited him often, and the staff always offered dinner to us, or whatever we needed. It just so happens my father required extra care, care my mother and I could not have handled at home, and the "yellow shirts", as I called them (nurse's aides) did a fine job, and each of them developed a relationship with dad. The administrative staff, including director, assistant director, nurses, etc., were supportive and always took any concern we had seriously, and acted upon our reasonable requests at critical times. In the end, their staff was very sorry to see my dad pass, because they liked him very much. I hope my comments are helpful to anyone wishing to visit for your own loved one's care.

We visited the Legend at Rivendell in the evening, around seven, and we didn't have the chance to interact with any of the residents. We only met with the person who gave us the tour, and she was friendly. We really liked the location and the facility because they were nice. The dining area was one of the more impressive parts of it. It was clean and made up to be more like a restaurant. They had tablecloths, and the dining facilities were also nice.

The Legend was very nice. The staff was friendly and accommodating. However, the price was very high and the rooms were very small.

My mom is now at Legend at Rivendell. The facility is extremely nice and they offer lots of activities. Her room is not that spacious but she doesn't really need a whole lot of room.

The care he has received from Legend's has been unparalleled to any other center our father has been in. He is thriving and is more like himself than he has been since this disease began. It has meant the world to us since our family has had numerous unfortunate events during the past 18 months. In the beginning, he was unstable and many in the memory care facilities and medical community had basically written him off. He was unfairly labeled and was not given the care that he deserved. The Director at Legend at Rivendell found out what was really going on and address it so that he could improve and be more like his usual self. The Residence Director, Laura, was our earthly angel during a very dark and upsetting time in our family. Our family takes so much comfort in knowing he is being treated with the respect, courtesy and compassion that he deserves. This peace of mind is priceless for someone we care so deeply for. Dad is happier, has regained the dramatic weight loss he has experienced and is thriving in his new home. We are so thankful that he seems to be at peace and content with his new environment. The staff at Legends have been phenomenal. They have always been there to help us out, answer our questions and genuinely work with his medical team to ensure he is at his best. No other facility that he has been in has done that. We are extremely pleased with his progress, the staff, his medical team, his treatment plan and the care he has received since becoming part of the Legends Community. The social and family activities have been a wonderful opportunity for us to share in happy times with him. This disease is an extremely devastating one and like nothing we have ever experienced. The staff at Legend's is absolutely wonderful at having educational opportunities and talking with families to help cope during such difficult times. Thank each of you at Legends so much!

Legends at Rivendell is a beautiful facility incorporating features that provide for the comfort and safety of the residents. More importantly the staff creat a an atmosphere of family. They are friendly, caring, and cheerful in dealing with the residents. There are a multitude of activities available for any residents to participate. The food service is not only diverse in selection, but presented in a very pleasing dining atmosphere.My mother became a resident three weeks ago and loves being there. This gives me peace of mind and from my visits, I can see why she is enjoying her time there. She has expressed her satisfaction with the accomodations and the thoughtful and helpfulness of the staff.

My mother, my best friend and companion whom I miss every day! However, her caregivers at the Legend at Rivdendell were remarkable. Not only were they caregivers, but were very special to me and my brother during my mother's declining illness. The staff was very responsive and the facility was well managed with a very warm and inviting living environment. Since my mother's passing over a year ago, I know that I can walk in the doors of the Legend at Rivendell at any time and be welcomed with open arms, for these people became my extended family and were there for my mother and me during a very critical time. To date, I continue to recommend the facility to friends in need of caregiving for their loved ones. In summary, yes, I recommend the Legend at Rivdendell and their staff with 5 stars!
