The legacy is a family-friendly living community for our aging population. It feels more like a neighborhood than a retirement community. There is plenty to do there, pet friendly, and has a homey feel to it. I would say the only thing to improve on would be the lazy pre-made, pre-frozen meals. I mean, if youre paying thousands of dollars a month I think they would be able to hire someone that can cook from scratch.

Love, love, love this place! Good, kind people that truly care about their residents! I have had some unexpected changes with my parents and they helped me by communicating honestly about the situation and doing what they could! A shout out to all the amazing folks that work here! Although, my parents situation is not what I had hoped for the two of them, one of them is still very fortunate to call the Legacy their home! Thank you!!

The staff is very respectful and kind. The kitchen staff is the nicest crew I've met and care for my mom's food needs as well as her diet needs too.
