Yes the staff is friendly Be aware of the hidden costs. They count the ADL's. Assist Daily living Each time you call for assistance it recorded They charge for Everything! They control your meds another $1200 a Month. A fee for bringing a meal to you if your enable to walk down to dinner! Above all they charged my Mom the highest Daily living rate while she was in the hospital!! Not even there! ! Very Sad this place is All About Money!!!!!

My father was in The Legacy before he passed. The staff is awesome, and they made me want to go to home health care. It meant so much to my parents with their kindness. The first day in the dining room, they know your name and what you are drinking. If you don't come out to dinner, they call you. The rooms are nice and clean. It is light and airy as well. They have some activities like going to Wal-Mart. They cater you; if you have a doctor's appointment and you need a ride, they have a chauffeur that takes you. If you need help with a prescription, they'll take you there as well. I really like it; I just wish it wasn't too far.

The rooms are OK at The Legacy at North Augusta, but it is just ridiculously expensive.

The Legacy at North Augusta is a brand new community. It has been here about a year or so, and it is owned by the Lutheran Church of America. I thought they were supreme. Had it not been for the fact that they did not have any vacancies in a studio, or the smallest place available, I would have opted to select that particular one out of the three that I did visit. The staff is exceptionally outgoing. They were a tremendous help to me because I have had zero experience with assisted living. They even made calls to their competitors to try to find me an accommodation that would meet with my time requirement. Regarding their rooms and dining room, they are a step above the rest, simply because they're brand new. The Legacy just seems to be a more comfortable place. They have everything that anyone could possibly want there. They did have several sitting areas that I found to be very nice.

I do have friends that live at The Legacy. They did have lots of activities for them there. I have eaten there and food was excellent. Also their accommodations were great. The staff was on top of everything. They would go out of their way to know where everybody is. If my friend fell asleep or misses lunch, they'll make sure that she's okay. It's a good solid 4-star for this place; however, they didn't have memory care there.
