Memory Care
The meals are wonderful, they have a chef. The Memory Care residents get the same wonderful meals that are served to all residents. The residents in the other sections all seem very happy with the facility, too. It is very clean and well taken care of by all staff. The move in process was easy and I can't say enough good things about [name removed], Memory Care Director, and her entire staff. They have activities all day and I couldn't be more pleased. I toured approximately 7 facilities and Atria Hacienda was in the top two. They were both comparable in care, but the other was thousands more per month.
Overall, this is the best place for her, although no where is perfect, staff are willing to listen and work together for Moms best care. The entertainment and food are great! Sometimes they are low in staff. It is expensive, but worth it!
I am extremely pleased with the care at Legend Gardens of my sister. The staff is very caring and on top of things with my sister. It is a very clean, happy and safe environment. I highly recommend for your loved ones.
