The Legacy at Highwoods Preserve stands out as a continuing care retirement community in a two-story building, set on peaceful grounds within a nature preserve, so residents can often see wildlife and enjoy a quiet setting. Residents can choose from private studio or one-bedroom apartments with private bathrooms, and these units come with weekly housekeeping and laundry, making life easier without much upkeep to worry about. The Legacy provides several types of care all on one campus, including independent living for older adults who want to stay active and social without needing help, assisted living for those who need daily support with things like medications or bathing, skilled nursing for more intense medical needs, as well as memory care that serves people living with Alzheimer's disease or other dementias. Staff members are there 24 hours a day to help with emergencies and every day needs, and they're trained especially well to help people with memory impairments.
Residents have meals cooked fresh each day by the in-house culinary team, and the staff can accommodate special diets as needed, so nobody has to worry about cooking or grocery shopping anymore. Dining, beauty and transportation services are all available, and there's always someone around to help residents move from bed to wheelchair if that's needed. There's a strong focus on making sure residents have chances to meet friends and stay active through activities like church services, outings, book club, Bible study, bingo, and arts and crafts, plus exercise and wellness programs and both indoor and outdoor spaces to gather, which helps encourage both body and mind. Social and recreational events happen regularly, and there's a real feeling of kindness and caring community among residents and staff, with direct care workers both skilled and compassionate. The Legacy at Highwoods Preserve also provides respite care for short stays, which can help families who need a break or are looking after loved ones temporarily.
People can adjust their care needs over time without moving away, since the campus offers everything from independent living to skilled nursing, and there's specialized attention paid to each person's needs, whether high, medium, or low, especially in assisted living. They also offer a dedicated Memory Care Program crafted around each resident's abilities and needs in a comfortable, safe environment. The community fee is $2,500 as a one-time charge, and average studio rates are around $4,295 per month, but residents have the option to pick between several apartment styles including studio and one-bedroom suites. The facility is licensed as an Assisted Living Facility (#12715) and is an ALTA Senior Living community, so it provides dependable care as well as amenities like on-site therapy options, access to Concierge Doctors, and tools for planning and support, such as a glossary and stories from people who've lived there. The Legacy works hard to support not just the physical health of residents but also intellectual, emotional, and social well-being, making it a good place for seniors to continue living with dignity, social engagement, and a sense of belonging while letting staff handle the heavy lifting of daily chores and support.
