Very Professional

The staff and the caring at Legacy is outstanding. I am a Hospice nurse and I love and appreciate the communication between me and the staff. My goal is to provide care and comfort and the staff at the Legacy are right in step with me. The facility is gorgeous and always clean. Staff members such as Toni (DON), Theresa (ADON) Lisa, Kelsey, Eve, and Julie are all med techs and so proficient in their jobs, my job would be impossible without their assistance. The facility caregivers, too numerous to name, are fantastic. Thanks ya"ll for helping me take good care of my patients, they are in a wonderful place.

Nice place!

This is a beautiful, caring, and well-run community home for those seniors who need assistance.

Fully recommend bringing your parents here! I have peace of mind knowing my mom is taken care of by this crew. Directors are always available for concerns or conversation with a smile on their face. The caregivers and additional staff are very kind and truly care. Breathe of fresh air.
