The place looks nice, there are activities and a theater and we are happy with my Mom's apartment, but service is lacking with constant turnover and unmet needs.

Signature Senior Living is a nice, well-furnished place. They have a dining room, a movie theater, and a place where they play bingo and other games. They provided very good care.
Memory Care Reviews for Legend of Lititz

I visited this facility
Legend of Lititz was very nice. The room was like brand new because the furniture in the room had not been unpacked yet. It was a wide open facility, and it's only a few years old. It was assisted living with a memory care unit and it felt homey.

My uncle is at the Legend of Lititz. He appears much happier there because he's engaging in activities. They serve home-cooked meals, but they rely heavily on meat as opposed to having a lot of fresh salad. He is clean, he's always in fresh clean clothes, and they assist him in shaving. Meals are totally served on time, and everybody's really nice. It's on one floor, and it has a big center courtyard that they could go outside, but they can't wander off. They don't have a carpeted floor in the rooms because their residents shuffle. The activity coordinator is nice and informative, and some of the workers that take him different places are patient, calm and nice. The food is institutional, and they could step it up. I took a bite of a cake on a birthday, and it was so sugary. Nobody there ever smelled, so you can tell they're bathed. It's a very clean place. They take them on field trips, and they play different games.

My wife is at Legend of Lititz memory care. The residents seem friendly, but you can't have much of a conversation with them. They give her three meals a day, they help her go to the bathroom, and help her get dressed. It's all on one floor and the memory care is separate from the personal care. The personal care residents can get out, but the memory care can't do that. Her room is pretty nice, has a bathroom, a shower, a window, and an air-conditioner and heater. The dining area seems nice, and the meal I had was all right. They serve lunch and dinner, but there's no meal option; you get what they serve. They have bingo, they do puzzles, and a person there will read to them.
