Legacy at Erie Station has different types of care for seniors, including independent living, assisted living, enhanced assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing services, so folks can get help with what they need, whether that's help with daily tasks, more hands-on nursing care, or extra support for memory-related conditions like Alzheimer's. The place has apartments and villas-studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom homes-some with patios, all with either full kitchens or kitchenettes, and plenty of space to move around. Meals get served restaurant-style by a chef, with international recipes on the menu, vegetarian choices, hot breakfasts on Saturdays, and continental breakfasts most other days, plus chef-prepared dinners made using food from nearby farms. There are fireplaces, peaceful ponds with fountains, a big fitness center, a library, a salon and barber shop, and outdoor courtyards where folks can enjoy the gardens or sit with pets, since pet-friendly rooms are available.
The community offers lots of activities and classes, like Watermark University courses, art and cooking classes, Tai Chi, yoga, chess, language lessons, and group outings, including trips over to Tinker Nature Park and other local spots, and there are options for both on-site and off-site devotional services, with an interfaith chapel, Catholic and Protestant services, visits from chaplains or priests, and displays around the building showing upcoming events so it's easy to keep track of what's going on. There are both indoor and outdoor gathering spots, comfortable lounges with fireplaces, laundry facilities, a store for personal items, a game room, and even a therapy area for folks needing physical rehab or support. All units come with cable or satellite TV, community Wi-Fi/high-speed internet, and the whole building is kept up by housekeeping and maintenance staff, with 24/7 help always available. Security is there round the clock, and the grounds are well kept with safe, wheelchair-accessible paths and showers, plus ground-floor units for those who need them. The place gets described as having a country inn feeling thanks to its grounds, ponds, and the sense of privacy you get even as part of a bigger community.
Legacy at Erie Station sometimes brings in residents from its other locations like Legacy at Clover Blossom, Legacy at Cranberry Landing, and others, all sharing similar programs and a focus on making life comfortable and engaging for seniors. There are special programs like EngageVR®, BrainCafé™, and Resident Ambassadors to help folks stay sharp and social, and transportation gets provided for errands, appointments, and outings. The idea is to make sure older adults can keep their freedom and privacy while still having help nearby if they need it, with choices in where and how to live, plenty of activities to pick from, and care for all levels, from the fairly healthy to those needing more skilled support. Meals can be customized for diets, and the staff helps with things like bathing, dressing, keeping up with medications, and other daily chores for anyone who needs that sort of care. There's also short-term stay if folks want to recover after surgery or need help for a little while. The place works to give people choices in their care, offers financial planning resources, and keeps up many long-standing ties with the local neighborhood.
