My mother lived at Legacy Ridge for almost two years. They lovingly kept her safe and enriched her life. I really liked all the activities and engagement they had for my mom and all residents. My mom thrived at Legacy Ridge and they felt like family. Our family is grateful for their care. I highly recommend Legacy Ridge.

We were told by our previous facility that our mom needed to be moved to memory care immediately. We contacted Legacy Ridge and they were so warm and inviting! All of the staff went out of their way to help us move mom over and make her (and us) feel safe. Its hard to find an affordable memory care facility that has so many activities for their residents. This place is amazingly clean and smells good too!

Very enjoyable visit with my wife.<br>7/8/25 Pleased with the direction the agency is moving. Staff overall more responsive/ good " front door behavior!" Still room for improvement. The mood of the staff more pleasant. Let's get more staff with not only the skill to do the job, but also that " caring piece " to go along with it. If that caring piece is not screened properly, this candidate for a position should not be hired.
