The Legacy has such a wonderful, caring group of people working for them. Their activities director plans so many events for the residents and encourages our family to attend. The facility is clean. The food is great. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for options for their loved ones.

My sister in -law has a very complicated neurological disease that causes in late stage cognitive and memory loss and motor skill deficits and care challenges. I transferred her here after her former facility could not accommodate her care needs.<br><br>The staff has been amazing. From the administrative staff to the care givers. They not only meet her challenging care needs, but have exceeded my expectations on how they have improved her quality of life at this difficult stage.<br><br>The staff are educated, compassionate and caring. They approach all the residents with respect. They truly make an impact on the lives of our loved ones. There are not enough words to express my gratitude for The Legacy of Deforest. Thank you for making my loved one feel safe & at home.
