Legacy Heights Senior Living Community sits in a Charlotte, NC neighborhood near shops, restaurants, and places like the Ballantyne Country Club and StoneCrest Shopping Center, and you'll also find the Sea Life Charlotte Aquarium nearby, and the community itself feels like a small-town square with common areas that have cozy fireplaces, a piano, and a front porch with rocking chairs and nice landscaping, and the building has brick and siding for a homey look. Residents have living options like assisted living, memory care in a secure purpose-built building, nursing home services, respite care for short stays, and independent living, with the chance to stay at the community even as care needs grow, including for people with behavioral challenges or wandering concerns.
