I was able to tour Legacy Reserve at Old Town. They showed me all the different areas, and I thought it was great. If I could have just gotten my mother in, I would have been happy. The apartments were brand new, updated, and clean; they were kind of small, but it's OK. I like what they had to offer.

If I had to use one word to describe how I felt when I left Legacy Reserve at Old Town is WOW! It is gorgeous and the staff was so friendly. Everything is so elegant and we look forward to moving in once our home is sold. At Legacy everything you could imagine is at your finger tips. I never thought my retirement could be spent this way.

Legacy Reserve at Old Town is like a five-star resort. It's absolutely beautiful. Our tour was wonderful. Everybody was very kind. They showed us around the entire facility and explained everything about all the different features, how the tenants were treated, the staffing that they had on hand, what was available to my mother, and how they were handling things regarding COVID. We saw a few rooms to make a selection. It was very thorough. We learned what would happen going forward with any of their activity directors, and we met one of the residents. It was very nice.
One of the main reasons that we chose is it because they have a geriatrician on-site to help care for the residents as well as 24-hour registered nurse and CNA, so they have resources there that we felt would be very beneficial for my mother while she was there. We also liked the ease of being able to move for her, she wouldn't be just sitting in a room, there were many outdoor spaces, an indoor heated pool, things of that nature that she could take part of if she wanted to, and the fact that it's about ten minutes from where I live, so it's very easy and close. They have four restaurants, but she could order things to be delivered to her room. Right now, because of COVID, they're not necessarily eating in their restaurants as far as a whole group, but there was a small area on each floor where the residents had access to a full kitchen that they could be assisted using if they wanted to, and they could eat there safely or they could just be in their room and things could be delivered to them.
It's brand new, and it's appointed very nicely and very comfortably. Every place we went, all the different rooms, the library, things of that nature that they had available to the residents, were very comfortable. The one benefit that I had at Legacy is she got a life rate lock, so the pricing that we will be paying is locked into life. It will not go up. In addition to the staff being very kind and answering questions and being very supportive and just watching them interact with other residents while we were there, they also gave me their personal cell phone numbers to contact them at any time for any reason, which was very comforting.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident
I visited Legacy Reserve at Old Town. The place is very new and the price is reasonable. The people there are very friendly, we just liked everything about them. My cousin is going to move in on February 15th. The room was a 1-bedroom and we liked it because they have an oven. They serve two meals, but you can cook if you wanted to cook, especially since she's Korean, and she'll be able to cook Korean food. It's got a lot of kitchen cabinets, space, and a refrigerator is a full size. It's really clean. They were very friendly and very helpful. When you go over there, they check the temperature and everybody has to wear masks.
The dining area is also very clean and they social distanced. They had three places to eat over there. One restaurant is called Bistro, and you can go there every time you wanna eat. They have a dining area where you can go and make a reservation to eat the food, but I don't know if you have to pay for that or not. And then one place, the restaurant, which includes the price. If you go to that place, I think you have to make a reservation and then you have to pay I think.

I took a tour today at Legacy Reserve at Old Town and was very impressed with what they have to offer. Melanie in sales was so detailed with the information she gave me and the executive director Mrs. Blakeman was so welcoming and took the time to get to know me. I felt right at home and look forward to moving in.

Melanie Grace gave me the full tour for IL which is Independent Living. Legacy was absolutely beautiful and I never realized that retirement could be so good. They have fine dining, a Bistro and bar. Followed by having a gym, indoor saltwater pool, theater and salon. The Library and Terrace was stunning. I didn’t want to leave. I look forward to spending my retirement with Legacy Reserve at Old Town. It was the best that I have toured in the BiCity. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Also the activities director had a large variety of activities that you could enjoy daily.

I am interested in Legacy Reserve at Old Town. It's where I would probably go, but I would like to consider a community that's a lot less costly. I like it because they have rooms or apartments that have their own entrance and exit. I doubt by the time I'm ready to move that one of them would be available, but that's what I would like to have. I like freedom of going in and out without walking down the hallways. I have difficulty with my breathing so a lot of walking is hard for me. They have three different restaurants within the facility to have your meals, and the big highlight is they have a heated indoor pool. The only way I can do exercise is in the water. It does not hurt my breathing if I'm in the water. I can move very quickly, like jogging in the water. That is what I want, but the price a month is very steep. The apartments looked nice, not real spacious, but I can understand why they're not real spacious. They were impressive. The staff member during the tour was informative and helpful. They'd only been up a few weeks when I visited, and they only had 25 residents at the time. They had happy hour and no charge for the drinks. I wish there was something similar to that that was less costly.

I've toured many places locally looking for quality Memory Care for my mother. Finally my search is over. I found exactly what my family was looking for at Legacy Reserve at Old Town. The staff was very knowledgeable and caring about the needs and expectations for my mother. The rooms are absolutely breath taking. The activities for memory care were so careful thought out with the needs of mother in mind. I'm so thankful to Legacy for all the love and care that has already been shown to us in the last two days and look forward to my mother's transition from our home to Legacy Reserve at Old Town.
