The Legacy Of Farmington

We chose The Legacy of Farmington Senior Living for my mom, and she's officially moving in on Friday. It was great. That's why I chose it. It's only 70 units. It's a smaller facility, so it's more cozier. It has everything that my mom's going to need, has plenty of activities to do, it has a pub, it has a library, it has a sitting area, it has a place to watch the sport, it has a rec room. It has a chapel, it has exercise, it has everything. And yet it's still a cozy building. It's nice. It has independent living, assisted living, and memory care. It also has enhanced care, which I liked. So my mom does not have to go to a nursing home. Their apartments are all together. They don't separate. Once they move into an apartment, that's where they stay. And that's what I liked. They don't have to move again. They have 24-hour care. There's always somebody there, 24 hours. They have a shuttle to the local stores, to doctor's appointments. They have their own shuttle bus. There are doctors, there are two different clinics that are within two miles of the facility, so everything is close by. They also have activities, they have exercise, they have a beauty shop, they have a movie theater room. They have just everything, and yet it's still a smaller building of units. They also have a dog that is a facility service dog, a Golden Retriever. They made the transition very smooth and welcoming for my mom. And the other thing that they have is every apartment has its own washer and dryer, laundry room in the apartment. Their food is fabulous there. Everyone raves about it and the smell is amazing. I've seen it. I haven't tasted it. I've smelled it. And then I've talked to a few residents there and they said, everything is fabulous.

The reason we chose The Legacy of Farmington is it's a smaller facility, which is what she wanted. My mom didn't want to get into one of these great, big, huge, 5 and 6 stories, with 150 apartments in there. She has a 1-bedroom apartment here, which is very nice and laid out for her. She gets all her meals. The aides are there to help her and that is what we needed. She has mobility issues, so we needed to have aides. The location worked out best for us and so far, for 5 days, it's been good. They have an activities director here so, they have activities going every day, all through the month. They have a bistro room, a library room, a pub outside, and a seating area. They all do outings in their own little bus, and I think last year or last month they went to a restaurant called Cracker Barrel and had lunch. They have the dining room and a gym here. She's going to be getting some physical therapy and they will come here to do that. They have quite a bit to offer. They have 1-bedrooms and 2-bedrooms. They have full apartments with a living room, bedroom, bathroom, and laundry. They each have their laundry on laundry in their apartments. The staff has all been wonderful, very helpful, and very caring. They'll pop into her apartment and ask if she needs anything or if she needs help with anything like if she needs to use the restroom. She's loving the food too.

My brother moved into The Legacy of Farmington and so far, it's been good. It's just really friendly and laid back. The staff is really friendly and very genuine. My brother's room is nice. The building is only 2 years old, so everything's pretty new, nice, well-lit and pretty spacious. The windows are nice and bring in a lot of light. I had one meal there and I thought it was quite good and I enjoyed it.
