Jenny 2021-08-14 My mother has been staying in the Legend at Rivendell for three weeks now. They have a welcoming, attentive, professional, and loving staff. We chose this place for her because the communication with the staff and the family is excellent, and the facility is beautiful, bright, and clean, and I like that my mom's needs are met. She's very happy there. The room that was available for us was small, so we're on a waiting list for a bigger room, but the room she currently has is clean and meets her needs for now. The dining area feels like a restaurant. It is very welcoming. There are lots of white tablecloths and the setting of the tables made the residents feel very special. The chef came out and met us too. I've seen him talking every day to the residents and they all love him. The food is high quality and nutritious. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Laura 2021-06-23 My impression of Legend at Rivendell is that they are very focused on their residents and their comfort and their happiness. Their chef has been there for a very long time. He's focused on getting it right and making sure that they all have what they need and what they want and when they want it. That has been a big deal. The rooms are very small, but it's assisted living, so they're not cooking their meals or anything. The facility was very nice, and I like it. I think Mom would be very comfortable there. The staff seemed very caring and very attentive to the residents and their needs, and what they're all about. They seem to be meeting the needs and desires of their residents and making sure that they're comfortable and happy and also getting exercise. They have an exercise class every day, and I like that. They have a beauty salon, they have books, have puzzles, have entertainment, and have activities. I met the activities director and I like her. She was very informed, very intelligent, and very caring. The other thing about this facility is that it is very expensive. You can get a bigger room, but it is nearly $6000 a month, so it is very expensive. I visited this facility

Joe 2021-01-14 My wife was at Legend at Rivendell. It was really good until COVID. It's in lockdown, so you can't see anybody. She was there from January until two weeks ago. The staff was great. They all took good care of my wife and they loved her. She loved them. It was all great. However, I didn't like the setting because I never could see her. They had 25 people in the section, and my wife had her own room. It was a private room. It was good as it could be. Food was OK. I would go there and eat with her before their lockdown, so it was OK. It was a very nice place. There was a young lady in there that kept them busy all the time doing activities. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Belinda 2020-04-17 Legend at Rivendell was a beautiful facility. They only had their two specialty rooms available and everything else was taken, which speaks pretty highly of their facility. The staff member was absolutely wonderful. They introduced themselves and talked to my aunt and encouraged her to come and move there. They would have assigned her a staff person for the first month to make sure that she had someone to walk her down to the meals and to encourage her to get out and participate in activities. They had beautiful courtyards. It's a quiet environment and they can age in place there. The dining area was very well laid out. I visited this facility

PS 2018-08-14 Legend at Rivendell is a very nice community, very communicating, very open, receptive, personable, and they went the extra mile. My husband was going to get a higher level of care, which would've had a 24-hour LPN on-staff. They have the sliding barn doors instead of a standard door, and they have a smaller dining area for the people that have higher needs. It was a clean and nice facility. I visited this facility

PersonalityPlus 2015-01-30 My father spent his last 7 months of life at Legend at Rivendell. My mother and I are very happy with the care he received. The attitude and spirit of the staff were supportive towards my father and family, and I am indebted to them for how special they made dad feel his last few months. My mother and I visited him often, and the staff always offered dinner to us, or whatever we needed. It just so happens my father required extra care, care my mother and I could not have handled at home, and the "yellow shirts", as I called them (nurse's aides) did a fine job, and each of them developed a relationship with dad. The administrative staff, including director, assistant director, nurses, etc., were supportive and always took any concern we had seriously, and acted upon our reasonable requests at critical times. In the end, their staff was very sorry to see my dad pass, because they liked him very much. I hope my comments are helpful to anyone wishing to visit for your own loved one's care. I am a friend or relative of resident

Kris5 2014-04-22 We visited the Legend at Rivendell in the evening, around seven, and we didn't have the chance to interact with any of the residents. We only met with the person who gave us the tour, and she was friendly. We really liked the location and the facility because they were nice. The dining area was one of the more impressive parts of it. It was clean and made up to be more like a restaurant. They had tablecloths, and the dining facilities were also nice.

lwilson 2013-07-01 The care he has received from Legend's has been unparalleled to any other center our father has been in. He is thriving and is more like himself than he has been since this disease began. It has meant the world to us since our family has had numerous unfortunate events during the past 18 months. In the beginning, he was unstable and many in the memory care facilities and medical community had basically written him off. He was unfairly labeled and was not given the care that he deserved. The Director at Legend at Rivendell found out what was really going on and address it so that he could improve and be more like his usual self. The Residence Director, Laura, was our earthly angel during a very dark and upsetting time in our family. Our family takes so much comfort in knowing he is being treated with the respect, courtesy and compassion that he deserves. This peace of mind is priceless for someone we care so deeply for. Dad is happier, has regained the dramatic weight loss he has experienced and is thriving in his new home. We are so thankful that he seems to be at peace and content with his new environment. The staff at Legends have been phenomenal. They have always been there to help us out, answer our questions and genuinely work with his medical team to ensure he is at his best. No other facility that he has been in has done that. We are extremely pleased with his progress, the staff, his medical team, his treatment plan and the care he has received since becoming part of the Legends Community. The social and family activities have been a wonderful opportunity for us to share in happy times with him. This disease is an extremely devastating one and like nothing we have ever experienced. The staff at Legend's is absolutely wonderful at having educational opportunities and talking with families to help cope during such difficult times. Thank each of you at Legends so much!

Marion S 2012-12-10 Legends at Rivendell is a beautiful facility incorporating features that provide for the comfort and safety of the residents. More importantly the staff creat a an atmosphere of family. They are friendly, caring, and cheerful in dealing with the residents. There are a multitude of activities available for any residents to participate. The food service is not only diverse in selection, but presented in a very pleasing dining atmosphere.My mother became a resident three weeks ago and loves being there. This gives me peace of mind and from my visits, I can see why she is enjoying her time there. She has expressed her satisfaction with the accomodations and the thoughtful and helpfulness of the staff. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Kathyone 2012-11-29 My mother, my best friend and companion whom I miss every day! However, her caregivers at the Legend at Rivdendell were remarkable. Not only were they caregivers, but were very special to me and my brother during my mother's declining illness. The staff was very responsive and the facility was well managed with a very warm and inviting living environment. Since my mother's passing over a year ago, I know that I can walk in the doors of the Legend at Rivendell at any time and be welcomed with open arms, for these people became my extended family and were there for my mother and me during a very critical time. To date, I continue to recommend the facility to friends in need of caregiving for their loved ones. In summary, yes, I recommend the Legend at Rivdendell and their staff with 5 stars! I visited this facility

Lisa 2021-09-01 We loved Legend at Rivendell and we liked how the memory care can walk the hallways. It was like a square so when they turn around they'll eventually find their room. In the middle, there's a really pretty courtyard with features. And all the staff talked to us as we were walking around, and they interacted with each other. So we like that. The staff who gave the tour was very nice, very friendly and very informative. There was even a client there that they were helping at the time, and called them by name. We talked to her twice since we left, and she was trying to get it more feasible for us. The building was very nice, well kept, had pretty landscaping, a nice parking lot, and easy access. We had to wait for somebody to unlock the door, which is what we would have expected with the memory care. I visited this facility

Elizabeth 2021-06-26 Legend at Rivendell was impressive. Out of four places that we went to, this one was the one that we thought was the best for our mother. We're specifically looking for a place that can specialize in treating Alzheimer's, and we just felt like they did the best job with that. We like the way that they have it broken up into what they specialized in, rather than just breaking it up into memory care versus assisted living. They also broke it up into 3 different phases depending on severity. My mom would be in a community with other people that were on the same stage of the journey as her. That was one of the things that we really liked. It's also a very secure facility so the patients are not in danger of wandering off. The staff does monthly training on dementia. There was just a lot that they focused on, specifically dementia; that's what we were looking for. We didn't really witness it, but they showed us some of the activities that they had done and talked about some of them. More than the specific activities though, what we were really looking for is a place where they would keep our mother active because she may not necessarily be able to participate in organized activities (like doing crafts and things) because she's a little bit farther along. The thing that impressed us the most is that they said that from the time she gets up until the time she goes to bed, they would have her doing activities and being in the community. Just the interaction with people and the physical movement is what we were most pleased about. One of the things that we were most impressed with this facility is they have a doctor on staff. Whenever she needs medical care, they will call the doctor to her instead of us having to take her out to a doctor's appointment. That was a huge advantage, especially because we live two hours away from where she's going to be living. I visited this facility

Richard 2021-02-21 Legend at Rivendell was above the rest of the places I looked at. The facilities were great, the personnel were great, they were the type of people that I could consider friends. They were very understanding and could listen between the lines. The staff was very good. The thing that impressed me the most about that was the way the memory care was laid out. From what I gather they have two separate buildings, the assisted living is in one building, and the memory care is in their own separate building. They had what amounted to three wings in the memory care facility. All of them were designed to where even if a person went out for a stroll down the hall, each wing all eventually routed back to a central hub of a living room, so even someone without all their cookies in line, they would still eventually end up back at their starting point. They also had the secure outdoor courtyard set up for both the assisted living and memory care, but the architectural layout of it was very impressive to me, that you could tell it was well thought out. It was very topnotch. The facility was extremely well taken care of, well designed, and well thought out. I was extremely impressed with their sales director. She's quite a lady. I visited this facility

VS 2021-01-13 I visited Legend at Rivendell. The nice thing about them is that they had separate buildings. They had 3 buildings for memory care, which were separated for what level of care they require. So, there is a 1, and a 2, and 3; if the people are just barely into it, so to speak they could be in a one. They do outings all the time with them. They get them in a bus, and they go shopping, or they go sightseeing or whatever. They had activity bars. I thought the residents were vivacious and happy, and having a good time. You would think that they were a part of the assisted living, not part of a memory care area. Unfortunately, my husband, at the time I was looking for a new place, he was already a 2, and he's more like a 3 now. So, he was not going to be going out on outings anymore, and their price was more than I can afford. It's over budget, but it was a nice place. I like their activities for their residents. They have single bedrooms. They have an exercise and activity room, they had other small rooms there for puzzles and drawings and things. Few of the residents could sit around the table and do things. They have broken them down to small groups, to do things, which is a good idea. They would feel more comfortable that way. It is so nice there and it is well kept, and they don't have stains on the rug. I visited this facility

Barbara 2021-01-03 Both my husband and my mom are at Rivendell in Oklahoma City. I like everything about it, it's superb. I didn't really want to move them, but we're running out of money. It's just beautiful. They take really good care of my family. My sister seems to like it too. We hate to have to move my mom and my husband, but we have to. They make these places so expensive. The staff takes extra care of my husband and my mom as well. The last time I was there the food was pretty good, but it has been a while since this COVID thing. I haven't been up there to eat with them but it's generally good. They have activities, they try to keep them busy, and they play games. The service is good up there.

Trina 2019-11-01 Legend at Rivendell was very nice. Im a simple person and kind of a country kid, so I felt very out of place. It felt ritzy to me. It wasnt for me. The place was very nice and very clean. The shared room was small. There was just a cabinet to divide the room. The staff member who showed me around was very accommodating. She answered all our questions and showed us pretty much everything that there was to see. The food was very good too. I visited this facility

Dean 2019-06-26 Legend at Rivendell is quiet and very well kept. It's a pretty place. Everybody is as friendly as they could be and takes really good care of my wife. I ate with her once and they have good food. They give small portions, and everybody there is slim and trim. They have somebody who does their nails. The day that she started, they took them all up for ice cream to celebrate a new resident coming. They go on scenic drives, they have a piano player that comes in, they do arts and crafts with them, and they have exercises. They keep them busy all day long. We're satisfied with them. The staff is really good. It's well kept, well lighted, up-to-date, and very clean. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Georgia613586 2016-07-13 My brother-in-law hs been in Legend Memory Care at Rivendell since April. It is very nice. The staff is very nice, very caring, and take really good care of him. They seem to serve very good food. They have shared apartments and some private rooms and have activities all of the time. They have a TV area where they can sit and watch movies. The dining room is set up like a nice restaurant with tablecloths and China. They have several sitting areas and an outside courtroom where the residents can go sit outside if they want and still be secured. I am a friend or relative of a resident

janetstagner 2013-08-14 I can't say enough good things about the group of people that for our elders. My mom has dementia and the really understand the disease and don't make quick judgments about her because they know it's the disease. They have educated us as a family and helped us help out mom. I would have given 1000 stars if they were available! I visited this facility

Assisted Living Reviews for Legend at Rivendell

August 14, 2021

By Jenny

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My mother has been staying in the Legend at Rivendell for three weeks now. They have a welcoming, attentive, professional, and loving staff. We chose this place for her because the communication with the staff and the family is excellent, and the facility is beautiful, bright, and clean, and I like that my mom's needs are met. She's very happy there. The room that was available for us was small, so we're on a waiting list for a bigger room, but the room she currently has is clean and meets her needs for now. The dining area feels like a restaurant. It is very welcoming. There are lots of white tablecloths and the setting of the tables made the residents feel very special. The chef came out and met us too. I've seen him talking every day to the residents and they all love him. The food is high quality and nutritious.

Provider Response

My impression of Legend at Rivendell is that they are very focused on their residents and their comfort and their happiness. Their chef has been there for a very long time. He's focused on getting it right and making sure that they all have what they need and what they want and when they want it. That has been a big deal. The rooms are very small, but it's assisted living, so they're not cooking their meals or anything. The facility was very nice, and I like it. I think Mom would be very comfortable there. The staff seemed very caring and very attentive to the residents and their needs, and what they're all about. They seem to be meeting the needs and desires of their residents and making sure that they're comfortable and happy and also getting exercise. They have an exercise class every day, and I like that. They have a beauty salon, they have books, have puzzles, have entertainment, and have activities. I met the activities director and I like her. She was very informed, very intelligent, and very caring. The other thing about this facility is that it is very expensive. You can get a bigger room, but it is nearly $6000 a month, so it is very expensive.

My wife was at Legend at Rivendell. It was really good until COVID. It's in lockdown, so you can't see anybody. She was there from January until two weeks ago. The staff was great. They all took good care of my wife and they loved her. She loved them. It was all great. However, I didn't like the setting because I never could see her. They had 25 people in the section, and my wife had her own room. It was a private room. It was good as it could be. Food was OK. I would go there and eat with her before their lockdown, so it was OK. It was a very nice place. There was a young lady in there that kept them busy all the time doing activities.

Legend at Rivendell is a very nice community, very communicating, very open, receptive, personable, and they went the extra mile. My husband was going to get a higher level of care, which would've had a 24-hour LPN on-staff.

Legend at Rivendell was impressive. Out of four places that we went to, this one was the one that we thought was the best for our mother. We're specifically looking for a place that can specialize in treating Alzheimer's, and we just felt like they did the best job with that. We like the way that they have it broken up into what they specialized in, rather than just breaking it up into memory care versus assisted living. They also broke it up into 3 different phases depending on severity. My mom would be in a community with other people that were on the same stage of the journey as her. That was one of the things that we really liked. It's also a very secure facility so the patients are not in danger of wandering off. The staff does monthly training on dementia. There was just a lot that they focused on, specifically dementia; that's what we were looking for. We didn't really witness it, but they showed us some of the activities that they had done and talked about some of them. More than the specific activities though, what we were really looking for is a place where they would keep our mother active because she may not necessarily be able to participate in organized activities (like doing crafts and things) because she's a little bit farther along. The thing that impressed us the most is that they said that from the time she gets up until the time she goes to bed, they would have her doing activities and being in the community. Just the interaction with people and the physical movement is what we were most pleased about. One of the things that we were most impressed with this facility is they have a doctor on staff. Whenever she needs medical care, they will call the doctor to her instead of us having to take her out to a doctor's appointment. That was a huge advantage, especially because we live two hours away from where she's going to be living.

Legend at Rivendell was above the rest of the places I looked at. The facilities were great, the personnel were great, they were the type of people that I could consider friends. They were very understanding and could listen between the lines. The staff was very good. The thing that impressed me the most about that was the way the memory care was laid out. From what I gather they have two separate buildings, the assisted living is in one building, and the memory care is in their own separate building. They had what amounted to three wings in the memory care facility. All of them were designed to where even if a person went out for a stroll down the hall, each wing all eventually routed back to a central hub of a living room, so even someone without all their cookies in line, they would still eventually end up back at their starting point. They also had the secure outdoor courtyard set up for both the assisted living and memory care, but the architectural layout of it was very impressive to me, that you could tell it was well thought out. It was very topnotch. The facility was extremely well taken care of, well designed, and well thought out. I was extremely impressed with their sales director. She's quite a lady.

I visited Legend at Rivendell. The nice thing about them is that they had separate buildings. They had 3 buildings for memory care, which were separated for what level of care they require. So, there is a 1, and a 2, and 3; if the people are just barely into it, so to speak they could be in a one. They do outings all the time with them. They get them in a bus, and they go shopping, or they go sightseeing or whatever. They had activity bars. I thought the residents were vivacious and happy, and having a good time. You would think that they were a part of the assisted living, not part of a memory care area. Unfortunately, my husband, at the time I was looking for a new place, he was already a 2, and he's more like a 3 now. So, he was not going to be going out on outings anymore, and their price was more than I can afford. It's over budget, but it was a nice place. I like their activities for their residents. They have single bedrooms. They have an exercise and activity room, they had other small rooms there for puzzles and drawings and things. Few of the residents could sit around the table and do things. They have broken them down to small groups, to do things, which is a good idea. They would feel more comfortable that way. It is so nice there and it is well kept, and they don't have stains on the rug.

Both my husband and my mom are at Rivendell in Oklahoma City. I like everything about it, it's superb. I didn't really want to move them, but we're running out of money. It's just beautiful. They take really good care of my family. My sister seems to like it too. We hate to have to move my mom and my husband, but we have to. They make these places so expensive. The staff takes extra care of my husband and my mom as well. The last time I was there the food was pretty good, but it has been a while since this COVID thing. I haven't been up there to eat with them but it's generally good. They have activities, they try to keep them busy, and they play games. The service is good up there.

Legend at Rivendell was very nice. Im a simple person and kind of a country kid, so I felt very out of place. It felt ritzy to me. It wasnt for me. The place was very nice and very clean. The shared room was small. There was just a cabinet to divide the room. The staff member who showed me around was very accommodating. She answered all our questions and showed us pretty much everything that there was to see. The food was very good too.

Legend at Rivendell is quiet and very well kept. It's a pretty place. Everybody is as friendly as they could be and takes really good care of my wife. I ate with her once and they have good food. They give small portions, and everybody there is slim and trim. They have somebody who does their nails. The day that she started, they took them all up for ice cream to celebrate a new resident coming. They go on scenic drives, they have a piano player that comes in, they do arts and crafts with them, and they have exercises. They keep them busy all day long. We're satisfied with them. The staff is really good. It's well kept, well lighted, up-to-date, and very clean.

Provider Response

My brother-in-law hs been in Legend Memory Care at Rivendell since April. It is very nice. The staff is very nice, very caring, and take really good care of him. They seem to serve very good food. They have shared apartments and some private rooms and have activities all of the time. They have a TV area where they can sit and watch movies. The dining room is set up like a nice restaurant with tablecloths and China. They have several sitting areas and an outside courtroom where the residents can go sit outside if they want and still be secured.

I can't say enough good things about the group of people that for our elders. My mom has dementia and the really understand the disease and don't make quick judgments about her because they know it's the disease. They have educated us as a family and helped us help out mom. I would have given 1000 stars if they were available!

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. Finding 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.
