Legacy Rehabilitation and Living is located at 4033 W 51ST Ave in Amarillo, Texas.

Reviews of Legacy Rehabilitation and Living are sharply split: several people praise the physical and occupational therapy team for helping them recover from surgery or injury, while other families describe unresponsive nursing care, a rude front-desk experience, and one serious complaint about a resident being hospitalized after care lapses. The facility appears to do rehab well for many, but experiences with day-to-day nursing care and staff attitude seem inconsistent.

Legacy Rehabilitation and Living had 9 government inspection visits in the last three years, with 26 citations on file according to CMS Care Compare data. The full history, including what each citation was for and whether it was corrected, is in the inspection section on this page.
