[name removed] is wonderful...because my mom has to go to memory care it was a little depressing.... The separate dining area in memory care was a little drab..... the facility was clean. I appreciate the tour . [name removed] is informed and very helpful.

Overall, I would say The Legacy is above average, although there are some areas that could be improved. One of my biggest concerns was the $[removed]lifetime community fee.

[name removed] was kind and informative The tour was very good. We walked around and saw a lot of the property and the community and it felt like a very comfortable place. I would say it was rated probably first out of the properties that I visited that day, which was three I highly recommend another visit there and if we do not settle in a place in Virginia, this is probably where I will place my mom.

It was personable. What part of the facility I toured was clean and inviting. As for placing my family member here would be based on assessment of his health and mental condition their care team finds with their own contact information with Nursing/Rehab facility.
