Love, love, love this place! Good, kind people that truly care about their residents! I have had some unexpected changes with my parents and they helped me by communicating honestly about the situation and doing what they could! A shout out to all the amazing folks that work here! Although, my parents situation is not what I had hoped for the two of them, one of them is still very fortunate to call the Legacy their home! Thank you!!
