Memory Care
Specifically created for those who are experiencing any form of memory loss or cognitive decline, our memory care neighborhood is designed to help you or your loved ones continue to live their best life with the highest quality of care possible.
We create a person-centered service plan for each resident, focusing on their needs as individuals and how we are able to help them attain a meaningful life each and every day. Most importantly – we include YOU – the family and friends – as we become an extension of your family celebrating daily successes.
We have embraced Teepa Snow’s philosophy of “Positive Approach to Care”, including her "Hand-Under-Hand" technique to meet the complex and unique requirements of memory loss, using her efficient and structured techniques each day within our program. Our staff endures an extensive training to learn Teepa’s philosophies and how to apply them in day to day, real-life scenarios.

Designed to keep your loved one active, our integrated hobby spaces – varying from textiles, woodworking, full functioning kitchen, doll therapy and beyond – will provide quality engagement for all skill sets and interest levels. The opportunity to spend time indoors or outdoors is always available with our beautifully landscaped courtyard as the center of the memory care neighborhood.
Senior Social Program
Legacy's Senior Social Program is ideal for any senior – but particularly those who themselves or their caregivers could benefit from a break in routine. By your loved one participating in this program, they will benefit from the companionship of others going through the same life journey, safety and peace of mind for the caregiver while they are away, and engagement through meal-time conversations and an interactive schedule of events. Legacy’s Senior Social Program is a great stepping stone for gradually introducing the idea of long-term care to your loved one.
Benefits for both Caregiver & Senior:
- Full or Half Days -- including evenings and weekends
- Supervision of licensed nursing staff
- No commitments
- Planned activities and entertainment
