Martin 2021-08-19 I toured Legend of Fort Worth and they were very nice and straightforward folks. They had nice facilities, tons of activities, and they keep showing all the changes and what they do to keep the people very active. It was nice and the layout was excellent. Right now, they're trying to get more familiar with the police department across the street from them. They're trying to put together a program about safety on the internet or what phone scams look like. So, it's going to be a nice program. I visited this facility

Jack 2018-07-31 I was very happy with Legend Assisted Living and Memory Care. It was an excellent facility, very clean, very modern, and the people were very friendly. The staff was very professional and checked back with me and my dad. They were very helpful. They were a little pricier, especially when we went to the memory care side, but you would definitely get your money's worth. I visited this facility

Jan M. 2017-07-17 My mother-in-law is in Legend Assisted Living and Memory Care. It is fabulous. I can live there. All the staff is wonderful. They have so many activities for them. It is obviously clean. They have everything you can ever need. They have outings to go to stores or go out for lunch. They go on tours of the area. They have bingo and puzzle club. Once a month, they have friends and family where they do different themes. They had a cook out last month, and it was a Mexican fiesta where your family and friends can come. They have church, a spa, and a movie theater. There is nothing that they don't have. Their dining is not a set meal plan or anything; you order off a menu, and the waiters take your order and bring your food. You cannot ask for anything more. It close to where I live. When I go there, I know I don't need to go anywhere else. This is the first time she has ever been in one, and she loves it. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Julie766548 2016-11-22 We visited The Legend; they have a movie theater and a library, and they provide church services, games, and entertainment. The rooms were very nice, the dining area was very nice, quite large, and the menu was very nice. They do crafts. They have a memory care unit in the same building. I visited this facility

David726576 2016-11-05 The Legend was a really nice place, nice restaurant eating area like a little bistro, and all other amenities like theaters, gyms, spas, and salons. The rooms were nice and a really good size. This is really on the top of my list. The staff was very nice and very friendly. The facility was fairly new, but it had a good population, lots of people -- men and women -- and they seemed to be active. I visited this facility

Pat057154 2016-09-18 Legend Assisted Living is excellent, and my mother is staying there now. It’s a two bedroom with plenty of room. The food is good. She partakes in bingo, movie every evening, and dominos, and for those that can go, they take them shopping or dinner. They have arts and crafts, and during the day they have an ice cream social. There is lots of stuff going on all day. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Cindy123810750 2016-05-10 Legend Assisted Living and Memory Care was a nice facility. We got over there late one night, but they showed us one of the rooms, which was nice. Then we sat down at the table and talked for a while. The people were very helpful. The biggest impression we had was that when you walk in the door, it didn’t look like a nursing home. There was a reception area and then there was what looked like a dining room table off on the side. It wasn’t set up in a circle where there’s a nursing station right at the front door. I visited this facility

Becky G 2016-03-22 Our visit with Legend was great. They were very helpful, very friendly, and very informative and showed us a couple of different rooms. We ate dinner there that night. Upstairs, there's a big movie theater room where they show movies three nights a week, as well as a full kitchen with a big table. There's sidewalk and a courtyard in the middle of everything; some of the rooms had back doors that opened to the courtyard. They had one designated area where you can go to smoke. A lady comes in a couple of times a week for haircuts, manicures, and pedicures for the ladies. They also had a masseuse. Once a week, they would take the people in scooters or wheelchairs to Wal-Mart and take trips to local restaurants. The room is like a tiny apartment with a kitchenette and a deep bathtub with a door in the bathroom. They try to make it feel as much as possible like home. We ate dinner there one night; the dining area is like a restaurant with a menu of eight different things at every meal to pick from. They change options around periodically. We were completely impressed. It's a very nice facility, and my father really liked it. One little drawback was we felt like he needs a hospital bed, so you can raise and lower it, but you have to provide that yourself. I visited this facility

Sally37 2015-12-15 My mother moved into Legend. We chose this community because of their care. The facility is clean, and the people are nice. It is comparable price-wise with all of the other places in the area. I wouldn’t say it is totally affordable, but it meets our needs. They have all kinds of activities, like arts and crafts, field trips, bingo, games, board games, and movie nights. They have two or three different things that they can do every day if they want to participate. I am a friend or relative of a resident

JM3 2015-08-12 My mother is living in Legend. It is wonderful, and we are happy with it. It is a beautiful new facility. They have a very welcoming staff. We really enjoy our visit there, and my mother enjoys her stay there. They are very professional. They help us with the business side as well as talk about the opportunities there for her. They have an excellent restaurant where they order their meals. There is a spa, a place for hairdressing, a movie theater, a library, and an internet station. There are several places where they can meet. There is a real sense of community. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Nancy 2018-10-17 We chose Legend of Fort Worth because it was clean, and the staff seemed to be caring. I've eaten there, and the food was good. The dining area is more restaurant style. His room has an attached bathroom, a closet, and it's a good size. They have music and games. The memory care doesn't seem to have many trips, but the rest does. They should include memory care patients more in the music programs that they have because they don't take them unless they offer. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Provider Response

Thank you, Nancy for this great review. We’re glad to hear that you enjoy the Gold Leaf Dinning and the Life Enrichment programs offered at the community. The Memory Care programs are tailored to each individual’s needs and abilities so there may be difficulty in implementing a community wide musical program for Memory Care residents. Thank you for the suggestion, we will explore that option and see if that is possible.
