Legend Lancaster is an impressive facility. The office staff, maintenance team and care givers are helpful, professional and very kind. I can't thank them enough for taking care of our father.

They make clients families shell out extra money for basic human care. Clients have to go in and give their loved ones daily baths or showers. They shouldn't have to pay extra to be treated like a human being.
