Legacy Heights Senior Living Community

I didn't like Legacy Heights at all. They reminded me of some of the nursing homes I used to go to. The services seemed OK and the lady who showed us around. I just didn't like it, and I wouldn't put my wife in there. The residents were just sitting around and watching TV with not much activities going on. It looked kind of old and not modern and up-to-date

My mom is in Legacy, and she is very happy there. We love it. Everybody is great. They are wonderful, nice, very helpful, and very personable. The room is very nice. I have tried the food, and it is good. They give them choices, and if they don't like them, they give them something else. But with the choices that they have, everyone is usually happy. They have all kinds of activities. They have entertainers who come in. They have social hours, like ice cream socials and popcorn socials. They have Wii bowling, bingo, and rosary. They have something all the time. You can either go to everything, or you can pick your choice.

We chose Legacy Heights for my husband because his two daughters live just two miles from there, and I also have a home there. It is very nice, and it is made of brick inside and out. He will be in the memory care unit, and they have the room set up in a circle, where they can walk in the evening. They are very nice with nice sizes. You can take your own furniture in and decorate it your own way, or you can use the furniture that they have. Their dining room is set up with tablecloths, colorful dishes, and things like that. They have lot of interactions with them. They have several activities going on. They say they do not let them sit in their rooms and do nothing. They are constantly in motion, so I think that sounds nice to me. I don't know if he will participate in any of them, but at least he has the chance if he wants to. Everyone I talk with seems to be very nice, and everyone I know who lives there, their family seem to be pleased with the situation.

Legacy looked very nice, and it was close to us. The residents were participating in the activities. The people were sitting in a common area and they were playing games.

I had moved my father at Legacy Heights. We chose this facility because it was recommended to us and because of its location. For what it is, it is a good facility. It offered good service and good staff. The staff seemed to be professional and seemed to know what they are doing although I'm not there almost every day so I would not know all the details. Their rooms are adequate. Their food is good. I am not really familiar with their activities, but I know they have bingo and they have movie time. They have a social director that sets up their activities.

I thought Legacy Heights was decorated in a very cheery way and the location was good for us. The staff were very professional, very friendly, knowledgeable and caring. There were various field trips and they had games and songs. They had a library and a parlor. They were in the process of remodeling so I think when they get that done, it would be really nice.

My feelings towards this facility were very mixed. In the beginning my grandfather enjoyed his time there but he was being fed hot dogs with chili sauce, which didn't make sense to me as he is a diabetic. It wasn't very stuffy like the other places and the environment was great. We were able to hangout outside and enjoy the day while he was there.

I had taken my Mom who has Alzheimers Disease to the Memory Care Unit of Legacy Heights for respite care. She was there for a month. During that time, when I went to visit her, on 2 occassions I was unable to find her. (Thank goodness it was a lock down unit) The facility was aware that my Mom needed help with walking, so when I couldn't find her I was very upset. Once I found her sitting on the floor all alone by the laundry room. No one was aware she was missing. The most disturbing thing that happened was they lost her DNR. How do you lose a DNR. Although there are some very good CNA's at this facility, some I felt were very lazy. I would not recommend the Memory Care Unit of this facility to anyone.

We're very happy about Legacy Heights Senior Living. It's a very nice place, comfortable, and homey. It has a big winding staircase, it's very inviting. My parents are very happy. We've been through a long search. It's great and the activities are wonderful. The activities director is phenomenal. I've seen him in action. The only issue is my dad, because he may have more health concerns than they can handle. He just keeps getting urinary tract infection and he may just need a little bit more monitoring like a skilled nursing facility. We're not quite sure right now that they can handle it because it's an assisted living. That would be the only concern, but we're very happy with them.
