Review for Legacy Pointe
The staff appeared to be more attentive and several professionals who were providing home health for my husband said it was their favorite place. I would recommend it to others.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. The ambassadors have been very good with my dad, helping him find his way around a new place and a new town, as well as helping him with his mail. The office staff has been very helpful for me in helping my dad to understand the paperwork and get proper forms filled out, as well as getting his rent paid without a computer. He doesn't like to deal with office staff and relies on me for that and Natasha has been extremely supportive and helpful when dealing with us. When I first walked in the apartment with my dad, and looked out through the windows to the trees and back field, the feeling I felt was like "Welcome home" and it's what I wanted for him. So that's what I would call my review. If I could have his exact apartment when it's my time to transition to independent living, this is exactly where I'd want to be, seriously. You know my dad wants to move out because he thinks it's too expensive for him, but it's really not. His dementia is worsening and he doesn't understand and it's kind of heartbreaking because he's giving up on a beautiful home.

No longer a memory care facility
Legacy closed Memory Care which is why we selected them. The closing notice was not handled well. And now we have to start searching again. They are transferring residents to Stirlingshire. The memory care unit there doesn't have very good reviews, either. (I would read the reviews before recommending them again). Seems like Covid as greatly affected staffing levels at both places. I get things second hand, but I am going to visit at the end of the month. Going to speak with [name removed] to see if I can get some more background. But, she has not responded to my emails which we will discuss as well. Things happen, it is how they respond that will count. It was extremely disappointing to know my parents will have to move again for my Dad to be close. A letter with no warning was not the way to handle that big of a change.

The residents here are very friendly and welcoming to new residents, and caring towards their friends who already live here. For example, if someone doesn't appear for meals or activities as usual, one of the apartment neighbors might knock on the door to be sure that neighbor is ok. We notice each other. The dining room staff is also alert to the regular residents missing meals or usual activities, and alert the Ambassadors on staff to knock on doors to see if everything is okay. Plus simply having a paid position such as Ambassador, whose job is to assist the residents for a variety of reasons, shows how sincere the Legacy Senior Executive Directors are about creating and maintaining an environment where the residents and staff are all family. I see and feel this! It's home!

Caring staff and exceptionally clean facility.
Overall, we had a very pleasant experience with Legacy Pointe. The staff had taken care of my Dad as if he was their own. The facility was exceptionally clean and neat. There are plenty of common areas for residents to visit and activities available as well. The individual units were sized just right with enough space for furnishings. And the location is easy to reach - easy drive from I-80 and Highway 6.

Legacy Pointe review
Overall we did think the value was pretty good while our loved one was a resident there, the meals were good but they were smaller portioned which was to be expected and we could see how hard the staff tried to get the residents involved in the activities. However when it came to the quality of care, it seemed like they just did not have all the supplies that were needed to care for the residents. Some of the staff members were amazing and others not so much. They were experiencing staffing issues just like everyone else.

Great experience
Legacy has far exceeded my expectations for a Senior Living Environment. The views are spectacular and so are the people. Every meal has so many options to chose from and is delicious. Each day activity directors plan out engaging crafts, music, and outings. Definitely a place to keep on the radar for yourself or loved ones.

Our experience so far
I have heard some complaints about the food, but I think it is on the upward mend. We did have a lot of billing issues and it took us a long time to get that all corrected and sorted out. [name removed], the directors assistant, who we spoke with was very helpful and friendly and tried to help us the best she could. The bills they give are hard to read and very confusing.

We are very pleased with our decision to move to Legacy Pointe. The facility is clean, most of the staff are friendly. They answer our call pendants promptly. The quality of food is good and the menu offers a variety of choices. The facility we were in previously was much more costly and less space. We now have two bathrooms which is a real plus. Our apt was just remodeled and beautifully done.

excellent care in a beautiful home
The cleanliness of the community is spotless. The meals are not fancy but good variety and plentiful, served hot with staff checking around frequently in dining room to refill drinks etc. Also willing to box a meal to return to room is asked. For activities there are at least 5-6 options daily with something for everyone --- music, taste tests, exercise, games, church, scenic drives to name a few. Assisted living is expensive, to be sure but we looked at several places and they are in the middle of the range. I feel like the cost is fair given the size of the apartment and the services my parents are receiving. I have been very impressed with the staff. It's very hard to "let go". I live 7 hours away. But anytime I have concerns or questions, it is easy to connect with the appropriate staff person and get a quick response. My parents always comment on the kindness of the aides. "They check on us all the time." Like many, they were resistant to making this change and are now happy they did. [name removed] (exec director) treats them like family. We feel very lucky that an apartment was available...it was a short notice decision. I really feel like they have bent over backwards to make it a good transition.

Poor Choice
Be very careful and ask for documentation when entering this community. Make sure that you identify all of the belongings of your loved one and expect things to either be misplaced or stolen especially if you are in memory care. With memory care they just walk in and out of each others rooms. Be ready to have low expectations. it is a nice room but the quality of care here is poor. There is a staff education requirement to take a certain course provided by management but this community uses a staffing agency for a lot of the workers and it seems like the training is not required this route so be careful when the specialized training is mentioned.

Legacy A Good Choice for Your Loved One
My loved one has been there for three months and we have been pleased with the care they are receiving. We would highly recommend the community to others for their loved ones. The food is excellent, they have a lot of fish options, and good vegetables that aren't overdone. The menu is diverse. Some of the activities include card games, bingo, live entertainment, and more for the residents to choose from. The activities director is very engaged with the residents and trying to get them involved in the activities offered.

Better care should be expected
There is no salon on site, so if your loved one needs their nails to be cut a family member has to come and do it. There have been several times where we call for hours on end and no one picks up the phone. They also cannot fill prescriptions.

Worth every penny!
Legacy was the cleanest and brightest community we visited by far. The apartments are the largest in size and seem so spacious. The community looks brand new and the staff seems to know the residents and offer plenty to do each day for those interested. We didn't stay for lunch but dining room was beautiful and everything being served looked appealing. The cost was perfect for us and they allow pets. Definitely worth a tour and worth it to pay a little more for all of the amenities and staff.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Legacy Pointe

Legacy Pointe offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Legacy Pointe 9 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
