The Legacy at Long Meadow

Valerie Engel

My dad recently moved here after several very bad experiences at other facilities. One thing I have learned is that when looking at reviews you must look at the specific place you are planning to move your loved one into. Independent living, assisted living, and memory care are all very different within one facility. My dad is in memory care which often has the lowest reviews because these are the residents who need the most care. This facility is less than five years old and many of the caregivers have been here since it opened. I cannot say enough good things about the nurse, Rebecca. She is amazing! She is the most responsive and proactive person I have ever met. I have seen her interact with patients who were agitated and she is so good with them and clearly has an extensive knowledge of Alzheimer’s. Unlike many other facilities, we find this facility to be staffed appropriately for the number of residents and the care that needs to be given. The Director, Chris, definitely appears to be an honest guy who knows the way the staff performs shows the facility’s strengths and doesn’t need to overpromise. The memory care residents can attend the assisted-living activities if they are able. They have a wonderful sports room upstairs with table tennis and darts and many TVs. My dad is very happy here and he enjoys playing table tennis while sitting in his wheelchair and listening to the Astros on TV. The caregivers are kind and attentive. In my opinion this is the most important quality of memory care. We are very grateful to have found legacy at Long Meadow and have comfort knowing my dad is there and being cared for with compassion and kindness!

I may have to write a book about how incredible this facility is. My parents have been in two other assisted living venues, both were horrific. Finally Longmeadow opened and I will be forever grateful. My Daddy passed away after only living there for 2 months, but the love they showed to him, my Mother and our entire family was incredible. My Mother has been so happy. The staff goes above and beyond assisting the residents and their families. Since the management staff has changed, I wish to give major kudos to Rebecca (probably one of the most professional, knowledgeable and compassionate nurses I have ever been around. The CNNs and Med Techs are always aware of what is going on with each resident. I never hear them complain or gossip about other residents. Legacy at Longmeadow is spotless, food is superb and services are excellent.

As my mom’s dementia progressed, we had to make a decision to move her from her senior independent living facility to a memory care facility. We couldn’t have found a better facility than Legacy at Long Meadow. From the first day when we walked into the facility and Ruth Ann asked “How can I make your day better” we knew we found a great home for mom. We were in the right place. As with many people first moving to a memory care facility my mom hated the move. The staff was extremely caring and friendly. They told us to just give them a couple weeks to allow her to adjust to her new home. They were right. In a couple of weeks, she was out of her room and participating in the many activities that are available. She was flourishing at this facility. She even had a group of ladies that she would sit with after dinner. Unfortunately, my mom’s stay wasn’t long enough, and she passed away recently. Thankfully she was able to spend her last days at Legacy. We had our whole family in the last weekend and the staff at Legacy was exceptional in supporting our family. They offered food and stories about mom that let us know just how much they cared. We can’t thank Legacy enough for the love and care they gave to mom and our family. Our family will be forever grateful for the experience we had at Legacy.
