Nice Place
They have a staffing issue. They can't find enough people to run the place and are shorthanded, which is the only reason they're not getting a perfect rating. That, and the food is terrible. But other than that, I really like the place. The people that are there are nice and friendly, and it's a nice place.

They made promises and they didn't go through with it. So we did not place our loved one here due to this.

Frequently Asked Questions
about The Legacy of DeForest

The Legacy of DeForest offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored The Legacy of DeForest 7.8 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.

Call (608) 807-2888 to reach a resident at The Legacy of DeForest.
