Legacy Commons Senior Living, LLC is a privately-owned assisted living community with 22 beds. The building has a homelike feel, decorated in a way most residents find comfortable and familiar, with big picture windows, stone fireplaces, cathedral ceilings, and gable windows that let in lots of natural light. You'll find one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and efficiency suites, all with spacious kitchens and oversized handicapped bathrooms, so moving around isn't too hard, and the kitchens let residents cook if they want. The environment feels clean and inviting, with a large grassy knoll, trees, a cement patio overlooking a pond, and a pavilion with picnic tables for outdoor visits or meals. The facility supports seniors with a wide range of care needs, including memory care for those with memory problems, and assisted living services that let people age in place using what's called their Progressive Care program, which means care plans get updated as needs change, and families always stay in the loop.
Legacy Commons Senior Living, LLC has a staff that includes a full-time Director of Nursing, an LPN, 24-hour caregivers, a Licensed Assisted Living Director, a Food Service Director, a maintenance man, a licensed beautician, and an Activity Director, making the resident-to-staff ratio about one to six. Residents get individual service plans based on health assessments and are reassessed regularly, with the staff able to care for people needing Foley Catheters, feeding tubes, ileostomies, special diets, injections, two-person transfers, and mechanical lifts. There's also routine end-of-life hospice care when needed, and the facility partners with the Ortonville Clinic for quick medical appointments. On-site physical, occupational, and speech therapies are available, and meals are served three times a day with snacks, with options for special diets like low sodium, diabetic, pureed, or minced and moistened foods, though residents can also cook in their own rooms if they want. Activities are run by an Activity Director and include crafts, entertainment, and social events. Payment sources can include county contracts, the Elderly Waiver program, private pay, or Long-Term Care insurance. The focus at Legacy Commons Senior Living is to provide a comfortable and supportive place for seniors that feels a bit like an extended family, where independence and proper care both matter.
