We even think about the frequency and the way in which you would like things delivered. And because we regularly bring everybody together who’s invested in your happiness and health, we’re confident that everyone is on the same page.

You might say it’s almost like we're putting together the greatest meal you’ve ever had, gathering all the ingredients that you love. (And leaving out the brussel sprouts if you don’t.)

We like to think, what will make you want to get out of bed in the morning and say, “Hooray, another day!”

Let’s get to know you.

 

Is Assisted Living Right for You or Your Loved One?

An individual might be a good fit for assisted living and benefit from the services and environment if the answer is “yes” or “sometimes”to any of the following questions:

  • Has there been a fall in the past six months?
  • Is the older adult lonely or isolated? Do they wish they had more friends nearby?
  • Is meal planning and preparation a time and energy-consuming task?
  • Has there been significant weight loss or gain over the past 12 months?
  • Are interventions more frequently occurring in the evening or night time?
  • Is the adult missing medication times, or incorrectly using medications?
  • Does the person live with chronic pain or a complex medical condition?
  • Does the adult worry about what might happen if they have a fall or other emergency alone at home leading to reduced independence and activity?
  • Are home care services becoming more frequent and costly no longer providing the person with the assistance they need? Is home care simply too expensive?

At Legend assisted living, our services are designed to enhance independence, encourage new friendships, and give residents the support they need to live life to the fullest.

Less than you might think. In most cases Memory Care is equal to or less than living at home accounting for all the costs of ownership and maintenance while using Home Health Care and other service options in the home.

Because Legend services are personalized to fit your needs, you pay for only what you choose unlike more prescriptive healthcare environments. We encourage you to contact us for assistance in determining monthly costs based on your unique situation.

To learn more about monthly rates in your area, find a Legend Senior Living Residence, schedule an appointment and visit the residence. We can help you estimate costs and make an informed decision.

In addition, there are we can introduce you to several funding solutions you may wish to consider. We encourage you to fully explore the options, and would be happy to assist you with that process, if needed.

 

How Memory Care Living is Different From Other Living Options

Memory care living is perhaps the most specialized living option at Legend Senior Living. Memory care residences are designed especially for adults living with Alzheimer’s disease or another type of dementia. We have created the residence and our programming to meet the challenges that can come with cognitive decline.

What does this mean for you or your loved one? It means that associates work hard to create an environment that feels comfortable and secure so that you or your loved one feels comfortable and secure. It means associates learn best practices in dementia care and tailors our interventions to the preferences of your loved one so that we can help your loved one sleep better, socialize with new friends, and eat nutritious foods based on their own abilities. It also means we will adjust and adapt our interventions as your loved one’s condition evolves.

 

Is Memory Care a Good Fit for You or Your Loved One?

You or your loved one might be a good fit for memory care living if you can answer “yes” to any of the following questions:

  • Is there a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease or another type of dementia?
  • Is there a history of confusion, including wandering out of the home?
  • Are you worried about safety?

While someone living in the very early stage of dementia can manage safety and personal care tasks well, the need for support will increase as the disease progresses. Be sure you find a memory care residence sooner than later so that the senior can be involved with the process and so there is not an emergency situation.

While all senior living residences offer meals served in a busy dining room, Legend Senior Living’s approach is more than just good food on a plate. We know the value of gathering for a meal, planning the day with friends over a cup of coffee and a stack of pancakes, or catching up with neighbors over an appetizer. At Legend Senior Living, dining is an event to look forward to.

 

Our Menu

When you visit a senior living residence, it’s important to take a look at the independent or assisted living food menu. Here at Legend, we offer a diverse menu so everyone can find something they love when ordering. You’ll find fresh, seasonal options and comfort foods that are just as good as mom used to make. Most importantly, residents always have a choice of what to enjoy next.

After all, studies have demonstrated that feeling connected and supported by peers is an important indicator of physical and mental health. And while residents enjoy events and programs throughout the day, meals are a key time in the daily routine when connection is even easier.

Benefits of Activity Programs for Seniors

Fortunately, choosing senior living at a Legend Senior Living residence can decrease isolation and increase connection with new neighbors and friends.

 

We know that residents can benefit from consistent connections with neighbors because we see it daily in the residences. However, research has also demonstrated that senior enrichment programs and senior care activities have positive health outcomes, including:

- Decreased rates of depression and anxiety

- Reduced risk of heart disease

- Decreased risk of obesity

- Increased immune system response

- Decreased rate of cognitive decline 

A busy social calendar has many mental and physical health benefits!

Wellness isn't a program at Legend. It's at the core of everything we do.

Wellness

Wellness at Legend Senior Living® is more than just a program that encourages healthy living for seniors. Designed to enhance the overall health and well-being of the residents we serve, resident wellness at any Legend® residence is our daily focus.

 

 

Keeping you well is an important part of everything we do.Staying healthy, both mentally and physically, means you can enjoy life with those you love.

 

 

Our Approach to Wellness for Seniors

We care for the entire person - mind, spirit, and body. Socialization, physical activity, spiritual and emotional support, medication management, nutritional counseling, and assistance with activities of daily living are all addressed individually for each resident, and support is provided for their family.

We customize our services and meet each resident and their families at their point of need with care and service plans designed especially for their needs. Our Healthcare associates monitors each resident's progress daily and adjusts the plan and service delivery approach as needed. Resident and family communication and counseling meetings are conducted regularly to ensure that all are confident and secure in their knowledge of the individual care plan, while nurses act as a liaison with the resident's primary physician to coordinate medical care and integrate their instructions into the resident's tailored service plan.

Legend offers a variety of programs designed to enhance the well-being of the residents. Fitness and exercise programs offer chair aerobics, walking clubs, and fitness classes designed to enhance balance, ease arthritis pain, and more. Our Companion Services provide personal companionship and assistance with tasks, delivering caring support and a friendly ear when needed.

Because at Legend, wellness extends far beyond the physical. It's a priority that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit equally and leads to a more fulfilling lifestyle.

 

Great Care Plus Attention to Holistic Wellness

At Legend Senior Living residences, associates, caregivers and nurses work hard to ensure we provide outstanding support, assistance, and care to residents who need it. And while we are exceedingly proud of that care, we are even more proud of the caregiving associates for paying attention to the overall wellness of everyone we serve.

Many health and wellness programs for seniors at other senior living residences aren't focused on residents' physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs. At Legend Senior Living, caregivers and other associates get to know residents so that they can notice when something seems different. We want to catch problems before they become a medical crisis and ensure residents have access to the resources they need to feel their best all the time.
