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.
