Family experience, would recommend.

my wife is in the memory care part of the facility so my contact for the most part has involved only that part of the facility. It's close, only about 10 minutes away, so I can visit frequently and get there quickly if there's a problem. My wife likes to get outside in the fresh air. They do have a separate courtyard for the memory patients. And when I'm there, they have a number of nice walking areas. In addition, my wife had originally been placed in [community removed], which is a memory only facility. It was qu

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are so glad to hear that you and your wife are finding comfort and support in our Memory Care neighborhood. Having a secure courtyard and safe walking areas for residents to enjoy the outdoors is something we take great pride in, and it is wonderful to know your wife enjoys that fresh air and time outside. We also appreciate your feedback about activities. It’s important that Memory Care residents receive just as much engagement and enrichment as those in Assisted Living, and we are pleased to know that you’ve found our programming to be meaningful and comparable to dedicated memory care communities. Convenient access for families and value in care are priorities we take seriously, and your recognition of those efforts means a lot to our team. Thank you for entrusting The Legacy at Highwoods Preserve with your wife’s care. We are honored to support both of you!

Legacy at Highwoods Preserve review

The staff in Memory care are generally kind and caring. The food is much better than I expected and is varied over each meal. There are activities for those who wish to participate. There are more activities in Assisted Living as those residents are more able to participate. In Memory Care there are outings for lunch or for ice cream. The residents are sometimes taken for a ride just for a change of scenery. When the weather permits, residents are taken for short walks around the building.

Response from the community

In both Memory Care and Assisted Living, our goal is to offer meaningful opportunities for engagement that meet residents where they are, whether it’s joining an outing for lunch or ice cream, taking a scenic ride, or enjoying a walk on a beautiful day. These moments create joy and help enrich daily life.
