The Legacy at Santa Fe provides conscientious care in the inspiring New Mexican landscape. The adobe-style facility sits on the city's edge in the middle of the high desert prairie. Residents can see mountains in the distance and breathe the famously fresh air all day. Santa Fe brings in a lot of tourists for a reason. The nearly magical landscape mingles energetically with the unique Southwestern culture. You can walk your cowboy boots through the ochre sandstone with the deep blue sky overhead until you reach the Georgie O’Keefe museum. Here, you can appreciate the desert in a new way through the artist’s eyes, and after, enjoy green chile enchiladas at one of the many renowned New Mexican restaurants in the area.
The Legacy at Santa Fe is a large group care home. It offers a range of care options, including assisted living, memory care, and respite care. The choices don’t stop there: You can also choose from a few different floor plans, ranging from studios to one-bedroom apartments. The facility is fully equipped with community areas and amenities to keep residents engaged and active. The wide and covered outdoor patio is a popular place to chat and play games, but...

Overall ok despite a couple of incidents: broken glass not cleaned up by staff, visitors cleaned it up. Battery dead on remote wristband. My dad was stuck halfway falling of chair for several hours until I arrived.

Our grandmother had her sister living here and has had a good experience so we chose this facility for our loved one too. We think everything about Legacy at Santa Fe is great!

I have sent a card every month to a resident. Last week I got all of my cards sent between January and October returned in one fell swoop unopened and marked unclaimed. This was not a postal problem as one of the cards had her room number written on it in marker. I have called the facility twice to find out why these cards were held and returned in a batch. Each time I was promised a response. No one has called me. I am very disappointed that my friend didn't get what was sent to her and that I wasted time, effort, and money for eleven months.

My loved one loves the activities provided for the residents. There is a daily schedule that's she's memorized to make sure she doesn't miss bingo and black jack. I'm happy that the staff is very attentive to her needs.

Highly recommend using this service. All areas above 5, except meals and dining 2 (slow service, small portions, few selections, food arrives Luke warm). We suspect small work force in Santa Fe.

My step-mom always commented that the staff seemed a little racist. We didn't take her seriously, as she had a lot of complaints in general. But after she passed, my step sister met with the admin director (I think that was her role), who had just quit. And she verified that there was a lot of racism among staff and it was reflected in their treatment toward residents. My Dad was in memory care, and tended to wander at night. He ended up falling and had a lot of bruising. We never got a clear answer as to why he wasn't monitored more carefully and that report was never passed onto us. So I have my own reservations about their memory care ward. Aside from that, visitors were always treated well.

Very happy with the care that has been given to my father. The staff is amazing and they have made him the most happiest and healthy he has ever been. I could not be more happier to have him at the Legacy. They have an amazing team.

I chose this community because it was the brightest, cleanest, and most cheerful / modern one we visited. Overall Legacy has been great. We haven't had to use the upper care levels yet, so I can only speak to the basic assisted living situation, but my mother seems overall happy with the people, food, and activities.

Its a beautiful facility. Walking in there is like walking into a high end hotel. It's warm and welcoming. My aunt seems to be happy there. Moving from another state has been difficult for her, but she seems to be settling in with her daily routine. Communication is getting better with staff and myself.

My mom seems happy with her apartment, the staff and food. I haven't seen the facility but my siblings feel it's a good fit for my mom.

My loved one is currently a resident at The Legacy at Santa Fe. The care staff, housekeeping staff and front desk staff are all wonderful. Communication with the family is poor.

I would say that The Legacy is very good for those needing a lot of assistance. Make sure that is what your loved one wants/needs. For example, the residents don't seem to manage any of their own money, so cost of outings get charged to monthly tab. No shopping trips. Simple activities. We picked it because of location and the beauty of the building and views. That wasn't enough to keep Mom happy.

My grandfather recently moved in to the The Legacy at Santa Fe. I worked with [name removed] and the team to get grandpa moved in as quickly as possible after a stay in the hospital. The team at the Legacy moved up his move in date to accommodate his hospital release. [name removed] and his staff helped put all of Grandpa's furniture together and loaned us items that we needed until we were able to purchase them. We all met together to go over Grandpa's care plan so that we could decide on a placement that allowed Grandpa the most autonomy and also kept him safe and cared for. I love the staff at The Legacy! They are caring and treat the residents with respect. The residents have a large menu of programs to choose from during the week. This week I was able to join Grandpa at a concert in the music room where we sang along to familiar songs. They went on an outing and had lunch and ice cream the following day. I was waiting for grandpa to return, and it was so joyous to see him happy and safe.

There were numerous charges for items that while we toured and communicated with staff ahead of the move in, were never revealed. The rental staff person went out of his way to gloss over questions and make it sound like certain services were included, when in fact they were not. Our Aunt also had a small dog, for which she was paying a large monthly fee to have the dog walked several times a day. It became clear that the dog was not being walked. The dog was lucky to go out once a day. We purchased pee pads that were left for days without being changed and here apartment became unlivable. Every time we complained about this or the numerous lack of care issues, we were assured that things would change and they were experiencing understaffing. Things never changed and our Aunt’s health and disposition rapidly deteriorated over the course of the year. The Executive Director never took any action to make sure numerous issues were addressed. We moved her to avoid dire health consequences.

Legacy Santa Fe seemed to be on a par with [facility name removed], possibly even having a few updated features such as the gym, but the location was too far away for family and friends to visit regularly. [name removed] of Legacy was an exceptional staff rep. We enjoyed complimentary meals twice. We visited several times because immediate family members wanted to review. It was in our top 2 locations. It had a positive, pleasant environment that is created by the respective staff and their directors.

All of these categories are worthy of receiving 5 stars. What we really like about this community is the friendliness and the care given to the residents by the staff. They are very diligent in their care to the residents from the director down to the cleaning staff. Based on our experience so far we would without a doubt recommend The Legacy at Santa Fe community to other families.

There seems to be a serious lack of outside activities for example the residents should be driven weekly to a grocery store to buy necessities like toothpaste toilet paper body care etc. I am in talks with them right now to improve that

In my profession I visit many Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing facilities. I can genuinely say that the residents at Legacy are well cared for and happy. The staff know residents by name and stop what they are doing to give one on one time.

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:
Know New Mexico’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection 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 communities you’re considering. Learn more about New Mexico’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.
Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it 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 committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
