Legacy at Highwoods Preserve

Susan

I toured The Legacy at Highwoods Preserve. I didn't eat their food, but the people there were nice. The people walking around were nice. It was very clean. It was like going into a hotel.

Legacy at Highwoods Preserve was beautiful. The guy was very accommodating. They'll take pets up to 35 pounds or two cats totaling 35 pounds. They have a covered smoking area down by the front door, and if it rains, they have a covered smoking area on the second floor. That's all well and good, but my friend is not going to go down by the front door and smoke. Every hallway had a mini kitchen, a game room, a place with soft chairs, and a place with a table out in the open for the residents. There were two on the first floor and there were two on the second floor, so there was plenty of space. They had all kinds of really cool activities, like happy hour with a live piano player and a poker night for the men. They had a sports room where they played ESPN and football games. There were game tables so the guys could play cards up there. They had 35 men in that facility, which I thought was a lot. So, they were catering to the men as well as the women because most of those places were all old ladies. When we got there, it was after lunch, and they were having a cornhole championship game and it was a hit. They were having a great time, and men were playing, too. There were probably 20 people in this big horseshoe playing this game. They were having a grand time. I was very impressed that there were that many people. Then we passed by a couple of people doing puzzles and a couple of people just meandering around who were saying hello to everybody. It was great. That's my first choice. They were just really nice people there. That place only had one elevator, which I thought was cool because everybody wouldn't be lost all the time. They had a courtyard in the middle, and then it was sort of laid out like a spider. It was laid out very nicely. One of the guys there had taken up making a flower garden in the courtyard. He had all these plants out there that he tended to every day. They were very proud of that.
