Besides the fact that they are in the middle of a complete renovation, I would give them 4.5 out of 5 stars (nobody is perfect!). They're not as fully staffed as they would like to be because people just don't want to work anymore! My mother-in-law lived there for two years before she passed away. She loved it there. But she felt that they gave too much food at meal times. My mother has been there since the end of February of this year, and she seems fine with living there. She's pleased with the meals, and the staff have been helpful to her.
Legacy at Willow Pond is by far the most accommodating, clean, friendly community I have toured with my Mom. We sat for a lunch tour and the service and meal was incredible. The ED was so understanding and knew how life changing this decision was for our Mom and family. Willow Pond really blew us away with their activity offerings, dining selections and the warm cozy atmosphere. It was a no brainer when we decided to move Mom in!
I love here it here. The place is friendly, and they have had lots of upgrades in facility. I am very happy. There is a Shopping Plaza across the street and there is transporation to us take to the doctors office, when needed.
