Care

Assisted Living

A living option for seniors or individuals who require assistance with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, or medication management while maintaining a level of independence. Assisted living facilities offer personalized care plans and social activities that promote quality of life for their residents.

Memory Care

Memory care communities offer specialized care and support for individuals dealing with memory-related conditions, such as Alzheimer’s or dementia. These facilities are equipped with trained staff and offer engaging activities designed to promote well-being while ensuring a safe living environment.

Respite Care

Respite care is short-term or temporary care. Respite care can be provided in adult day centers, in private homes via home health agencies and in senior living communities, most often assisted living or skilled nursing facilities.

Personal Care

    Food has been deplorable - we are given 1 entrée choice per meal - the meals are of poor choice and not prepared properly - food is served Luke warm and presentation is pitiful for example. Meatloaf is put on the plate with a scoop rather than how you usually get it sliced - chili is dry just to mention a few- They are always running out of food- even the most basic- milk, orange juice, eggs, fruit, ketchup etc. First picture is turkey with lemon sauce Second is a cheese burger with 10 sweet potato fries- they served a taco salad once that was lettuce and ground meat nothing else- management doesn’t even eat here - I would suggest a surprised visit from corporate!

    The Legacy at Highwoods Preserve is a nice assisted living facility. The commons areas are well-appointed, and you always see residents in those areas. They can sit out front under a canopy. I wish they had a garden area. The outdoor has many palm trees and some other pretty landscaping. The care is good for the most part. They are short-handed at times, and I have an issue with my mother's haircare and grooming. She can't do her own hair, and only gets showered twice a week. Her hair is always an issue, and not sure about oral care. The food is okay, but my sister brings her cooked food every week and takes her out at least once a week to eat. Mom misses being able to cook for herself. This past week or so, Mom had ants in her room, and they were crawling on her from her chair. I was aghast when I heard that. They came in and sprayed, and I haven't heard her complain any more about them. Legacy decorates nicely for holidays and special days. They do a very nice Christmas dinner for guests and family. There is a monthly schedule of activities for those that wish to participate. The activities director takes groups out to eat. They have in-house movies.

    Every year there has been an increase in price.. It’s a huge increase. While there have been no additional services, better or change in menu, additional activities no outings and absolutely NO increase of service/care for my dad…It’s absolutely ridiculous to increase monthly rent by 400.+ for the Legacy to increase every year 400.00 Taking advantage it’s pathetic

    My mother has been at Legacy for close to three years. I am very glad we chose this place for her. The facilities are really nice, and the people that work there seem to genuinely care about my Mom. They have a few parties throughout the year, and bring in special events such as soccer dogs, singers, etc. I know it is hard to keep good employees, and sometimes the facility is short-staffed, but I know that is an issue almost everywhere. I do appreciate that when I bring a concern to the staff, it is immediately addressed. The food at Legacy seemed to be better quality and taste when my Mom first moved in. She is not a huge fan of the food now. Many menu items seem like an odd choice, and not what you’d find in typical restaurants or homes. The monthly price has gone up considerably, since the new owners took over. That has been difficult to deal with, but I don’t want to move my Mother anywhere else. We will keep her at Legacy as long as we can. The front desk and event staff are marvelous, and the in-house therapists are very knowledgeable and caring. Overall, I would recommend Legacy to anyone needing assisted living care.
