Legacy Village of Athens sits as a 70-unit assisted living and memory care community that belongs to the Legacy Senior Living network, carrying a history of awards from places like SeniorAdvisor.com and recognition for its meals, activities, and friendly staff, with reviews over 95% verified by staff for accuracy. The place offers both studio and one-bedroom apartments, along with the option for shared living, giving people a choice that fits their needs, while some pets are allowed if residents want to bring a companion. The design feels warm and open, featuring lots of windows, cheerful decor, and shared spaces like gardens with bird feeders, enclosed courtyards, and benches for enjoying the outdoors, plus easy access everywhere for wheelchairs or walkers. Residents can use gentle exercise equipment or take walks along enclosed garden paths, and there are plenty of places to sit and visit, like TV lounges, a piano room, a beauty salon, a cafe, a movie room, and a computer room with Wi-Fi.
The community provides different levels of care, including assisted living for help with things like bathing, dressing, and medication, as well as specialized memory care for people with Alzheimer's and other dementias, which focuses on a safe environment and activities to engage memory and cognition. New Alzheimer's Support Services are run by Dr. Ronald Harvard. There's independent living for active folks, home care with trained aides who give non-medical companionship, and respite care for short stays, all supported by a team of experienced caregivers and advisors who offer personal guidance and support, including scheduling tours, checking availability, and getting detailed pricing with options like all-inclusive rent and an entry fee. Legacy Village uses Electronic Health Records and Medication Management to track care, monitors residents' health, and provides quick access to staff, especially in the memory care area, where security and calm matter most.
The staff is led by an executive director and an interim team that focus on family peace of mind, while daily life stays lively with a long list of social events, recreational programs, arts and crafts, educational classes, spiritual services, and wellness programs aimed at promoting both physical and mental health. The community believes in fostering connections through things like tablets, social media, and group activities so residents stay active and purposeful. Services such as housekeeping, laundry, and special meal programs-including low sodium or sugar diets-are available, and there's a flexible transportation system for shopping, errands, and outings, either complimentary or at an extra cost. Apartments come in private suites, including some luxurious memory care suites designed for comfort and to feel like home, and people can age in place as their needs change without having to move out when more help becomes necessary.
Photos, videos, and even a 360 virtual tour show detailed updates made after recent renovations, and the community often hosts ribbon-cutting ceremonies to mark these improvements. Residents and their families can check resources for veterans, see support center services, and look into special programs called Legacy Lives or meet with the leadership team during tours to get an honest look at daily routines and life in the community. Legacy Village of Athens aims to take care of seniors in a secure setting, with the goal of helping each person keep their independence as long as possible, thrive in their health and friendships, and find purpose in every day.
