The sales manager was very accommodating. The tour and meeting were informative. I will definitely consider this facility for my husband when the time comes.

This is a beautiful facility that feels warm and inviting from the moment you walk in. The staff I encountered was friendly, welcoming and transparent with all information. It made making the decision to place my loved one there one I at peace with. I even had a follow up call to see if I had other questions…a heart felt thanks.

Review for Legacy Village of Athens

These are my thoughts on Legacy Village : If you have a loved one who needs just a little bit of attention - this is alright. I personally would give it a C+ If you have a loved one that needs help of almost any kind dealing with mobility, then I'd give them a D+. The food was NOT GOOD at all. Everything that they served tasted as if it was straight out of a can - no seasoning, neither hot nor cold - room temperature. The only staff that I noticed that seemed happy to be there were the front staff that you see whe…

Definitely would recommend

Best: lots of windows: natural light + sky, clouds,trees,seasons, weather. Excellent choice of colors, cheerful and bright. Huge photos of local sights on the walls.

It is [removed]$ cheaper than other facilities where I would not put my worst enemy!! I would like more activities but I understand that with a group of dementia…

Concerns after first 60 days at Legacy Village

Ways that the facility could improve include: 1) clearly communicating What services and amenities are provided before a resident moves in. 2). Hire more staff 3). My mom requires standby assistance for showering and they only have staff to provide her with two showers per week, which is not enough for people like my mom who wear incontinence briefs 24-7 4) not enough outings---not enough opportunities for physical activity We would be gladly willing to pay more money if they would provide my mom with more fre…
