Family experience, would recommend.

my wife is in the memory care part of the facility so my contact for the most part has involved only that part of the facility. It's close, only about 10 minutes away, so I can visit frequently and get there quickly if there's a problem. My wife likes to get outside in the fresh air. They do have a separate courtyard for the memory patients. And when I'm there, they have a number of nice walking areas. In addition, my wife had originally been placed in [community removed], which is a memory only facility. It was quite a distance away, and after their last price raise, considerably more expensive. Originally, I was hesitant about a mixed facility in that the activities might be more focused on the assisted living patients rather than memory. I find that the activities at the Legacy are at least as involved for the memory patient as they were at [community removed].

Legacy at Highwoods Preserve review

The staff in Memory care are generally kind and caring. The food is much better than I expected and is varied over each meal. There are activities for those who wish to participate. There are more activities in Assisted Living as those residents are more able to participate. In Memory Care there are outings for lunch or for ice cream. The residents are sometimes taken for a ride just for a change of scenery. When the weather permits, residents are taken for short walks around the building.

My husband was in memory care which is separate from the main facility, so I can't add much other than the cost. It is a clean and well maintained facility and a nice staff.

A great place to retire

They (nursing staff) weren't completely honest in letting him come in. They admitted him and then after 1 day said he might not be able to stay that he's too much work for their aids. We were completely clear about his needs. They knew he was insulin sliding scaleN accepted it and then it was an issue.. They also strung us along after he went to the hospital for one month whether he could come back. He stayed 8 days, we paid two months rent and a $]fee removed] community fee that they won't refund even part of which is complete bs. But again, overall the experience for my dad was great. Their front desk lady has a huge attitude as well. Very clean. Awesome food. Amenities and activities are numerous. Nursing care is good and they are responsive. Its a very clean facility. Never smelled bad once.

a welcoming community

The location/setting is very nice. The place is well-maintained inside and out the staff for the most part are quite gracious. The food could be better. They just turned over chefs, so perhaps it may improve. In case you didn't know, the director was replaced last December.

Great place for dad

My dad was there from [dates removed] Went he arrived he was ambulatory and used a walker. But his health needs changed very quickly and after a few weeks his health deteriorated fast. With that said I can say that the head nurses [names removed] bent over back backward to meet my dads every changing needs. The staff including those that in the dining room took excellent care of my father till the very end. I would highly recommend Legacy to anyone looking for a place for their family member.

We needed a place to put my sister, with memory issues, for a short time. They were very cooperative and were able to give us a private room for Respite. My sister is comfortable, clean and her room is clean.

Peace of Mind

From the moment my husband entered Legacy, I felt he was where he belonged; and as time has passed, that opinion has only strengthened. His caregivers seem genuinely fond of him and relate to him in a very positive manner. I feel his physical needs are being well met also. Everyone seems to be on top of things. The administrative staff are welcoming and are knowledgeable about who my husband is. The nurse administrator is always available to answer my questions and also is concerned with how I am doing understanding that placement in memory care is hard on the spouse. Because of the care my husband is receiving, my mind is at ease. He seems quite happy at Legacy which is wonderful.

We couldn't be happier with Legacy at Highwoods Preserve. They have been very accommodating and helpful from the beginning and are attentive to all my Dad's needs. The staff is very friendly and my Dad loves the food.

Best decision

My mom has been at Legacy for a year now. It has been such a positive experience for her and myself. They work with me, listen to my concerns and always keep me informed. My mom considers Legacy her home. I looked at a variety of assisted living facilities in the area, and Legacy checked all my boxes. I love the surrounding beautiful preserve, it is so peaceful. Mom and many other residents love to sit outside and enjoy nature. The food is good, nice variety. They offer many activities-BINGO is very popular! Trips out to restaurants and grocery stores are scheduled weekly. A super PT department. But really, when it comes down to what we all want for our family, is for them to be loved. Legacy is that loving environment - from the cleaning staff, maintenance, med techs, front desk, my goodness All the staff, great attitudes, great hearts, kind words - always!!!

A beautiful residence for seniors

The Legacy staff has been very supportive and helpful to my mom moving into her new space. The environment is clean and well kept. There are many social events to keep everyone engaged and make them feel like a family. The food selections are great my mom especially likes the soups , ice cream that is home made and dessert. I really appreciate how everyone works together for the over all good of everyone.

Hard choices can still be good choices

I have only had a few meals there with my loved one and I wasn't that impressed with the food. It may still be too soon to judge. It is very nicely situated in a green area and has paths for [name removed] to walk both outside and in. She's in a one bedroom with a modest walk-in closet many of the other places didn't have that perhaps most important of all they were willing to take her in assisted-living versus insisting on immediate memory care. So far the staff has been extremely kind and helpful and understanding.

My loved one was previously a resident at Legacy at Highwoods Preserve and the overall experience was good. The staff response is good. The care services are good. The housekeeping is minimal. The nurse is caring. I would recommend Legacy at Highwoods Preserve to others.

A Haven for Moms

As a mother of two young children, finding a place where I can relax, unwind, and connect with other moms is like discovering a hidden gem. Mom 1 is exactly that—a haven for moms like me. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted with warmth and understanding. The atmosphere at Mom 1 is incredibly welcoming. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure that every mom feels valued and supported. Whether it's a listening ear or a helpful tip, they are always there to lend a hand. One of the things I love most about Mom 1 is the variety of activities available. From yoga classes to mommy-and-me sessions, there's something for everyone. It's a great way to bond with my kids while also taking some much-needed time for myself. The facilities are clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything a mom could need. Whether it's changing stations or breastfeeding rooms, Mom 1 has thought of it all. I always feel comfortable and at ease knowing that my children are safe and hap

Best Experience at a Senior Living Community!

What a great feeling to walk into an assisted living facility and feel like home. This is what I want for any of my family members if needed in the future! I have been in the senior housing industry for over twenty years, and this is not always the case.
