The Legacy Place sits at 570 13th St NE in Valley City, ND, and keeps things simple with a single-story building that doesn't have any steps or elevators, so folks get around easily, and you can see right away that they've thought about making it as accessible as possible, especially with 43 assisted living units all on one level. The whole place has a whole staff on-site 24/7, with LPNs, RNs, and Certified Staff doing regular safety checks, and there's help with things like bathing, getting dressed, and managing medicine, and even more support for transitional care residents who might need a little backup with walking or transfers, all tailored to each person since care plans match individual needs, and with options for senior living, assisted living, or transitional care, you find a fit for different stages of life.
The community size is medium, which lets staff actually get to know everyone, and with an Activities Coordinator always putting together crafts, music concerts, swimming, field trips to places like the Hungry Pelican at Lake Ashtabula, Museums, and Music in the Park, the days fill up quick if you want them to, plus there's an events calendar and news on their website, thelegacyplace.net, so families and residents stay in the loop, and there's even a directory and member accounts for those who like keeping track of what's happening or joining in promotions. Three home-cooked meals fill the day, served in a main dining room, with all-day dining, plus special diets for things like diabetes or food allergies, so you won't go hungry or worry about food not suiting you, and if you need dry cleaning or laundry, housekeeping keeps up so you don't have to.
Medical services run strong, with a 24-hour call system, daily wellness checks for assisted living, two assisted showers every week, monthly RN check-ins, and extra care for things like oxygen, C-PAP, or diabetes for transitional care, and with physical and occupational therapy right on-site, folks don't have to leave for much. The heated therapeutic indoor saltwater pool stays open year-round, Mac's Beauty Salon keeps things tidy, the chapel does Sunday services, and arts rooms, exercise space, gardens, courtyard, community rooms, lounges, porches, and walking paths all give people room to relax, visit, or keep active in ways they like best, and transportation services take folks on errands or to local shops when needed.
Living spaces come already furnished and every apartment's got a phone, emergency alert systems for quick help, and packages for senior, assisted, and transitional living include different levels of support, from medication management to bathroom help, AM/PM care, overnight support, safety escorts, and more, all right there in one spot. The Legacy Place started its assisted living services in 2009, is a member of the Valley City Chamber of Commerce, the ND Long Term Care Association, and the National Center for Assisted Living, and keeps up with community events as well, so it stays connected and active, trying to cover daily life, safety, and the little extras for comfort and social living without feeling over complicated or overwhelming.
