This is the worst place to take someone you love! Unfortunately I couldn’t rate it any lower! They have no clue what is going on, do not care for their patients! Had a loved one here they let him fall out of bed. They do not listen to the families either! One of the dirtiest places I’ve ever seen! I wouldn’t let my dog even eat off the floor here the floors are so disgusting! Furniture is all beat up! Tv was duct taped to its mount. Please don’t even consider this place!!!!

Legends Care Center The best place I was ever in. My sister and I was there for 3 weeks. The staffs treated you like your family! They're very caring people. They have fun things to do. They also have outdoor smoking patio for us smokers!! The food was good too. I have nothing bad to say about this place. If I have to go back, this will be the place I'll go back to. I sure do miss being there a lot. Thank Y'all so much for your kindness and help.
