The visit at Legend at Council Road was good. It's lovely, very clean, and has newer construction. I didn't meet any of the caregivers, but it is a lovely place that I like a lot. The sales person gave me a tour and talked to me. It is our second choice. I am impressed with it.

I am/was a resident of this facility
Our daughter was so impressed with Legend at Council Road that we came to see it, too. We liked the location very much and felt like it was where we wanted to be. It's a beautiful place. The room is very nice and very adequate for my husband and me. The staff is very friendly and wants to help very much. We haven’t had any problems with anyone. We just moved in a week ago. We have doctors' appointments and home health coming in. We have attended the prayer and praise time that they have in the mornings. They have bingo and other games. The food is very good.

It was very appealing when you go in at Legend at Council Road. It was new looking, didn't smell like urine, the rooms were a little smaller, and it looked like a little village with little apartments and lights on the door.

Wonderful and amazing do not even come close to describing how I enjoyed & found peace with mother being at Legend on Council in the Memory Care Unit!!
The director and staff are very attentive and loving to each resident. Her apartment was keep very clean day to day. And the meals were very good - served in a nice dining room environment. I also appreciate the organization and effort they made for mom to attend outings. Actual field trips to different locations!
I enjoyed the relationship with the administrative and medical staff also. Always there to help, assist, and support!
I could continue but this lets you know a little about how excellent Legend on Council is!

The Legend at Council Road was actually closer to my home. It had the same layout, like the floor plan and the dining area, as the other Legend that we visited. We visited there at around 5 p.m. so we were able to interact with the residents, and they were all friendly and happy. We were able interact with the staff too as we took our tour. The people were nice as well.
Memory Care Reviews for Legend at Council Road

We visited the memory care unit at Legend at Council Road. It was chaotic. There were a lot of people in a small area and it just seemed disorganized. The woman that ran it was hyper. It didn't feel like a home environment. It was more like a hospital type situation. The room was more institutional or like a hospital room, and not homey. I didn't see that many staff members. They have patios and areas for people to do other activities. The facilities were nice.

Reflections Alzheimer's and Memory Care
Dedication to Service
Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's or other memory impairments is a very personal, loving dedication to service. It requires service for specific and individual needs.
More often, the resident with memory loss needs assistance with life's daily activities including personal care but may not have an acute medical condition requiring around the clock skilled nursing or instruction. Finiding that unique combination of physical setting and specialized care is a journey traveled by many families.
The Reflections Program
At Reflections, our trained staff works closely with family members and friends to assemble a "Life History" identifying the personal experiences of each resident's life.
Through the "Life History," we get to know the personality behind the person, fostering a one-to-one association more like "friend to friend" rather than "staff to patient." Details and events from your loved one's past become "shared" memories and experiences serving as a foundation for activities, communication, and the development of friendships built on support, understanding and mutual respect.
Base Monthly Services- Laundry Services - personal and linen
- Housekeeping
- 24 hour-a-day specially trained staff
