Outstanding Senior Living Care at Legacy at Highwoods Preserve! September 1, 2025 One of the most impressive aspects of Legacy is their transparency and responsiveness. When I bring up a concern or suggestion, it is immediately addressed with professionalism and urgency. They tell it like it is, ensuring that families are informed and confident in their loved one’s care. While Legacy’s pricing is competitively reasonable, their performance is light-years ahead of any other facility in the area. The level of respect, attentiveness, and quality of life they provide is truly 1000% better than what we previously experienced at Blue Heron Senior Living. A heartfelt salute and sincere gratitude to each of the areas of expertise--nursing, med techs, housekeeping, dietary, food, concierge, etc ( Toni, Theresa, , MaryJane, Cindy, Josh and Joe)—your dedication and professionalism set a gold standard in senior care. Sincere thanks for your exemplary works. You are making a positive difference in the lives of your residents at Legacy.
