Competent and friendly staff

Attendants were very watchful of residents and housekeepers did a good job keeping the place from smelling. I was most impressed that they had a doctor on site every Friday plus on call if needed. My husband especially liked the desserts but didn't liked the meat in gravy that was the main meal every day. Most people ate well and could get something different if they didn't like what was served. I really liked the use of cloth napkins and washable plates and utensils to reduce waste. Management was friendly and very competent. They kept everything in order.

Legacy Ridge

At Legacy Ridge, the caregivers are passionate about giving back to the community of elders by honoring them with high quality care. This modern, Georgian-style establishment is nestled within its own private drive in the Gainesville, Virginia, countryside. The surrounding trees and quiet community paired with the nearby hospitals and shopping center allow residents to relax or seek common conveniences as they please. Visiting loved ones can enjoy the local winery and the lakefront views south of the facility.

 

Legacy Ridge is a memory care facility that adheres to the well-established Montessori tradition. Each resident receives a daily schedule that’s created with their input. The facility is split into two different communities with six different floor plans to choose from: The memory care neighborhood and the woman-centric neighborhood.

 

The memory care neighborhood houses both male and female residents and offers personalized care plans. With the application of the Montessori approach, the memory care services involve sensory experiences and functionally challenging activities.

Do not recommend

I didn't feel like my father was in a safe place. He had several accidents that required emergency room visits. The last incident there was an issue with the facility director lying to us.

Provider Review

Legacy Ridge providers a high level of care for my mother that includes safety, empathy, skilled care in both health and care for those with memory issues, and activities to stimulate and entertain residents. I have the peace of mind that Mon has the care I could not provide at home anymore.

Just what we needed!

Legacy is just what our family needed at a critical time. The NR Director is amazing, and helped my mother transition into this beautiful facility under emergency circumstances when no other facility was equipped to help. The nursing staff, caregivers, and staff have been one big family and offers excellent care.

Our Experience

The staff at Legacy Ridge were ALWAYS. available to talk with me about my father or to put him on the phone with me so we could talk. The staff adapted to the needs of my father as he progressed through his dementia. The activities director made sure patients were present for morning activities.

I think Legacy is far better than many of the other memory care/skilled nursing care facilities that I looked at. They have a women’s only memory care unit with staff that really seem to care about the residents and treat them with respect. The staff remains cool and professional when dealing with difficult residents. They also make an effort to have the residents out of their rooms and into the common areas during the day. They had a pre-Thanksgiving dinner for the resident and their guests a week before the actual day. It was really well done and allowed those who could to be taken out for home celebration on the actual day. The did a similar thing with a party the week before Christmas. Again, it was well done. They also took the residents out in van trips to see the Christmas lights. Moving in was not a problem. The staff was welcoming and helpful throughout the process. I would recommend the facility.

I moved my mom 400 miles from CT to VA six months ago! I'm able to see my mom 3x a week. My mom is very well cared for at Legacy Ridge. The staff is wonderful! The food is wonderful! I couldn't be happier. My mom is doing great!

Overall concerns with staffing and morale

The day staff is heavy with the best of the staff. The evening staff is not receptive, rarely the same people working. The morale has gone down considerably over the last month. I've often witnessed staff arguing about tasks and many disinterested. This has been ore frequent over the last month.

Family Thoughts

We could not be happier then the day we moved our parents here. I have zero bad things to say about the facility/staff. Everyone is so kind and pleasant. More importantly our parents feel the same.
