Legacy at Grande�Vie

I toured Legacy at Grande Vie twice. It wasn't as clean as the other communities, they were starting to do some remodelling which I understand. I'm very disappointed with their meal service. The elderly have some recall issues, and they asked them to pick their meals the night before, so we're eating at our table and people don't remember what they ordered. And then they're coming around asking the residents what they want tomorrow night. The food quality wasn't all that good, they didn't have what I ordered. So we were disappointed with this place and it's now off our list. The staff who helped me out during the tour was very good, she was great and her name's Melissa. In terms of activities, they have a happy hour going on and it looked like they were engaged. They were remodelling an apartment in December when I was there, I knew it was the holiday season but when I went back in January nothing really had been done. They got the carpets laid in the hallways which was fine and neat, but it's different. The laundry situation wasn't great, it was very hot in that room and there didn't seem to be good ventilation.

Rooms aren't always clean. When my mother left the place you will find meds on the floor under the furniture. Staff is changing all the time so very hard to get to know who is who. Some of the staff are very hard on the patience so you will see bruises too often. Sunday's are very short on staff so do not expect your loved ones to be taken care of. Activities are not that great. Also you will smell urine a lot. Not good.

We were not pleased with Legacy at Grande'Vie. It was good the first year my mother was there, but then they were bought out by a corporation and things went downhill pretty badly pretty quickly. They contract out for all of their staffing, nurses as well as aides, so there's constant turnover. They don't pay well, so that's the kind of employees you get. There was no oversight by management, so the level of care was very poor toward the end, to the point where there were health and safety issues. We got my mother out of there as quickly as we could find a placement for her. They have a whole schedule of activities, but my mother has memory issues and nobody would take her to them. She didn't have the wherewithal to wheel herself down three hallways to the one area that they had some activities. They would have Bingo, they would do current events discussion, and read the newspaper together, but it was only accessible to the higher-functioning clientele that were more mobile and had fewer memory issues. She really didn't get to take part in any of that. She was in the enhanced assisted living area.

The assisted living is ok. The memory care side is horrible. Would not recommend it to even my worst enemy. We were deceived by what we were told of the care he was going to receive. They were going to charge me $1200 more a month and get LESS care. My dad was there for only a few hours and fell three times because their staffing sucks . No one was watching him. I do not recommend it. Stay away!!!!

Grande'Vie is without a doubt the greatest senior living community there is. My mother has been a resident in the assisted living facility for over 5 years and it has been wonderful. She lived on her own until 87 and then dementia forced her move to assisted living. We researched and visited many places but nothing remotely compared to Grande'Vie. The admission person was so helpful but never pushy. My mom was happy there right from the start. The staff is incredible. Medical staff always keeps me up on things. Activities staff is amazing. Every employee I have seen is incredibly nice and helpful. There are things to do from morning till night and always new and creative stuff. I usually find my mom in the activities area when I visit. My mom loves the food and again they keep the meals varied and healthy. There is always an option if the resident doesn't like what the main course is. That's incredible. When my mom moved in the stress level of her living on her own completely went away and she is so happy not to have to worry about so many day to day things that Grande'Vie provides for. She has many friends there both residents and staff and she always tells us how much she loves the staff and her life there. I wish all seniors could find a place in their latter years like my mom found in Grande'Vie. Thank you Grande'Vie.

Whats not to love with Grande'Vie Senior Living Community? We are treated like royalty, served wonderful meals three times a day, have our rooms cleaned, our beds changed, our laundry done and our medical needs tended to. But more importantly the staff, the nurses and the aids are wonderful to us always taking care of us and stopping to talk to us with smiles. They are genuinely here for us and I am told by them that is their reward. I wouldn't live anywhere else! Sincerely, Nancy

My Grandmother loves it at Grand Vie. We took a tour in November and she began living there this January. She found friends right away in activities. Shes sure to make it down to bingo everyday. She also loves the day trips they take, it gives her a chance to get some fresh air and get her shopping done. We did think the rooms were a little on the small side when we first came. However for the amount of time shes in her room its more than sufficient. She hasn't complained at all about the food and loves that she can sit in the dinning room and eat with all her friends. The staff are all very nice and they seem to know the residents well. All in all we are having a great experience so far with Grande Vie. Its nice to know my Grandmother is taken care of and gives us a piece of mind knowing that she enjoys it there so much.

Everything at Grand Vie was satisfactory. I was looking for a friend. For medical and financial reasons, it was adequate for his needs. The people were very good. The rooms were satisfactory. Generally, the atmosphere seem good. We did have lunch there, which was adequate. We did not decide to pursue Grand Vie.
