Comfortable, attractive home-like atmosphere

Legacy provides pleasant accomodations in a variety of sizes from studio to two bedroom units in an attractive, slightly wooded setting away from the street and traffic. They have two outdoor areas - one is a front porch with rockers, and the other is in the center of the square-shaped building which encloses this garden setting that includes a bunny rabbit and a small pond with turtles. The care is attentive and friendly, and although there can be considerable turn-over among employees, the senior management so far has been consistent. Activities are planned on a regular basis and the activities coordinator is very thoughtful. The dining area is attractive with a combo of 4-tops and larger tables and the food is plentiful. A choice of menus (selected the night before) is a plus, and they seem to accomodate specific dietary needs. A nurse practitioner makes regular visits and PT or occupational therapy is available for an extra charge. Put this one your list to consider.

I brought my dad for a visit. He was impressed with the size of the facility, and the size of the rooms themselves. Our tour guide was friendly and answered all of our questions, making us feel welcome and comfortable. We also liked the location, which is not too remote.

Legacy is a Happy Place for Mom

The med techs and staff are thoughtful and professional. I found the administration slow to respond on a few items. They offer several room types. If you prefer one over the room available when you move in, you are placed in a waiting list when the room type you want comes available. overall I recommend the facility. Plus Mom is happy!

Legacy a leader of the pack

Staff seem genuinely caring and professional. Always willing to step outside their specific responsibility to find the help you need. Also, accommodations are modern (but Colonial) and attractive. Clean and tidy

Legacy of Lexington is small enough to feel like home and big enough to get the care needed.

Staff is very friendly and helpful. The new resident is already feeling and sounding better than prior to the move in. Clean and room size adequate. Resident complains of lack of flavor in food but she understands that other residents may have diet restrictions.

Great place

The staff put up with a ton of negativity from my father in law. They always maintained a positive attitude. The food was wonderful! Very tasty and a wide variety. The staff and administrators went above and beyond to try and extend his care before my father in law had to go to memory care.

Expectations were?

Unrealistic? Higher? Unfulfilled? It’s a tough situation to move a loved one to an assisted living facility. We thought we’d found everything we were looking for. The sales pitch was excellent. But we were probably too optimistic about our loved-ones abilities and resiliency, but also about the effort level of the team on site. I’m sure there are some tremendously committed and hard working staffers there, but also plenty of sitting in comfortable chairs and vigorously using their phones. Ultimately, it was not an appropriate placement for our resident.

The people at Legacy were very nice and caring; however, Mom had innumerable falls there and multiple trips to Lexington Medical Center emergency department. I would recommend.

While trying to help my elderly neighbors navigate their challenges, I have experienced nothing but good vibes from this community and everyone involved. Legacy of Lexington has a welcoming comfortable family feel, like home. I only wish my neighbors had decided to make the move rather than struggle at home.

Review for The Legacy of Lexington

I thought the staff we had helping us was amazing. The thing I did not like was that as soon as my email and phone number were entered in the system, I was bombarded with calls and emails. So many I didn't even have time to call them all back to say thanks but no thanks.

Review for The Legacy of Lexington

It's nice that staff are always available. Helping him with his meds and baths are helpful. I can call if I have a question. They were misleading in that they would take him to md appts but you have to be there when they drop them off. It's just easier for me to take him for appts myself with those rules in place.

Great staff!

My parents moved in to The Legacy about 6 months ago. They both have dementia and were adamant about staying at home, however the experience has been excellent. They have adjusted to their new environment very well and love the staff and the other residents.

The facility is great. Latonya, the manager went above to ensure my aunt got into her facility.

Legacy sent someone to evaluate my aunt and determined she did not need to be there in long term care. They move her to assisted care. The Legacy entire staff came out to meet her. That was very special. My aunt loves the food. They are a five plus star facilities. [Facility removed] is maybe a one star facility if I am being generous. They care zero for the people and only care for their money. The food is terrible, that I would not feed my dog. No one at [Facility removed] take charge for their short comings. I never could get anyone on the phone. Use Legacy of Lexington and dump [Facility removed].

Not recommended

Not suitable for anyone even approaching memory care needs. They should have known better. Staff need to do their jobs. ...they largely ignored the residents...at least those that were a challenge.
