The staff was great for communicating ANY concerns that they had about Dad. Daily housekeeping was good; facility was clean and fresh - no off-putting odors. Plenty of sitting nooks for people to sit and visit. Move in process was smooth and they were soooo welcoming. The food looked pretty decent for an assisted living facility. Portion sizes were appropriate. The location is easy to navigate to from I80 (for out of town family) and plenty of stores within 2 to 3 miles for odds and ends, groceries, restaurants, etc. I would highly recommend this facility. They were so wonderful!

As the family of the person living there I was very happy with it and loved it there. My dad was the one that had the problems, but then again he WAS a problem. He had some behavioral problems and issues.

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.

Honesty
I have personally been in long term care for many years, I a must say that the Administration is very responsive, caring and are on site more than most. Do not hesitate. Many times, tenants wonder why they would not have moved in sooner.

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.

Good
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.

Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.
Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
Know the Iowa regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Iowa regulations for Assisted Living.
