Small details like helping with a recipe once loved or walking a familiar path bring comfort and a sense of purpose.

Your loved one’s story, always remembered

Through our Hear a Story, Share a Lifetime™ program, each resident’s history is honored and revisited. These stories guide care and deepen connections between residents, associates, and families.

“

I had the pleasure of touring Legend at Silver Creek as well as attending an event there. I am so impressed with the facility and the staff. As someone who has helped seniors downsize into senior care facilities, I’ve seen quite a few of them. Legend at Silver Creek is like no other. It is a beautiful facility with plenty of amenities as well as activities for residents. They really didn’t miss anything. My personal favorite is the gardening area for residents to use. The upbeat energy is wonderful and makes it such a positive environment.
