Legacy Living Memory Care

Legacy Living Memory Care is a secure memory care community located at 1501 NE Green Oaks Blvd in Arlington, Texas, and it's been serving the local community for 17 years, focusing on individuals living with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Residents live in one of four houses with private, fully furnished bedrooms, and the atmosphere aims to feel cozy and homelike, helping everyone feel comfortable as they go about their daily routines. Meals are home-style, with options for studio apartments averaging $3,750, and dining is available whenever residents wish to eat, whether they choose to enjoy restaurant-style service, room service, or need special meals like low-sodium or low-sugar options. The grounds include secured courtyards, a quarter-mile walking path, and gardens for safe outdoor time, while inside residents have access to common rooms, a coffee shop, entertainment areas, a beauty and barber shop, and fitness spaces with programs like yoga, stretching, Tai Chi, and brain fitness. Pets are welcome here, and people can keep dogs and cats. The staff includes 24-hour awake nurses who specialize in Alzheimer's and dementia care, provide hourly safety checks, and there's always a medical director-a nurse practitioner-and a doctor on call if needed, with visiting healthcare providers like podiatrists, dentists, and therapists coming regularly. The community supports different care needs for those who are diabetic, need insulin monitoring and injections, require assistance with daily living activities, or might experience behaviors like wandering or aggression. Legacy Living Memory Care uses secure building features and technology like alarmed bracelets and locked areas to keep residents safe and limit confusion or wandering. There's a strong focus on regular activities, with a full-time activity director planning arts and crafts, cooking classes, gardening, music, trivia, outings, karaoke, wine tastings, fitness and wellness programs, and much more, always keeping the mind and body engaged, and recognizing each person's strengths and interests. Families can check the website to see recent activities, and church services along with other spiritual programs are provided right on the property. Housekeeping, maintenance, linen, and laundry services are part of daily life, so each person's environment stays clean and pleasant. The staff have decades of memory care experience, with low turnover and an emphasis on safety and individualized support, enabling people needing physical therapy, rehabilitation, behavioral care, medication management, or hospice and respite care to remain in one place as their needs change. Legacy Living Memory Care remains strongly committed to residents' security and well-being, with safety checks, structured programs all week, and secure spaces designed specifically for those with memory loss, always aiming to reduce confusion, prevent wandering, and provide a safe, nurturing home-like environment. They're open Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, and families can speak directly with Bonnie Pleasants for more information about the community, which continues to support families and their loved ones as they navigate the challenges of memory loss.
