Legacy Ridge at Marietta

In terms of community, my mother was treated well. In her short stay at Legacy Ridge, she befriended some of her fellow resident. My dad visited her daily and also was treated with compassion and respect. So yes I would recommend Legacy. After six months stay, she was hospitalized due to extreme sun downing symptoms. We decided to move her to a smaller facility after her release from the hospital. She passed away in [month removed] in hospice due to dysphasia, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

I am currently a resident at Legacy Ridge at Marietta and overall the experience has been very good. The cleanliness and friendliness are great. The staff and activities are also great. Based on my experience, I would recommend Legacy Ridge at Marietta to others.

My loved one is currently a resident at Legacy Ridge at Marietta and her experience at this facility has been very good so far. The staff is amazing! The housekeeping is on point. The friendliness is good. The food is okay- we are used to eating spicy food. I would definitely recommend this facility to family and friends.

My loved one and I are currently residing at Legacy Ridge at Marietta. This facility is a very nice place. The cleanliness of the place is great. I have been impressed with all of the activities that are offered. The food is above average and the staff are outstanding. Overall, Legacy Ridge at Marietta is a very nice facility. I would recommend this facility to family and friends.

What we think they could improve on, is the process of checking on the residents regularly, hire more caregivers ( rarely saw one in our 4 days there), but we did like the activities director.

I came to visit my grandmother for a family night and there was live music, and food. You can tell they keep it clean. The residents seem to love the staff. My grandmother is happy.

There is a lot of light and doesn't feel closed in. Some of the care staff has changed recently. I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones. The common areas are kept clean; however, the floors can still get sticky. There was an activities director and they doesn't seem to be doing a lot of activities. The calendar of activities shows the same activities each day. In memory care they don't seem to be doing much.

We toured and had lunch with the sales director and her staff. They were very friendly and all of the residents looked happy as well. I met the resident Ambassador and she gave us a resident's perspective.

We would recommend Legacy Ridge to other families who are looking for a place for their loved ones. From the very first phone call, they were totally professional and efficient. The very first person I talked to spent 30 min on the phone with me before we ever got around to talking about where they were or coming to take a look. Once we talked about moving in, the director came right away to talk with us to see what we needed and how they could help. They were totally welcoming every time, and they were quick to call us if there was a change or something we needed to attend to. They also did a good job and worked well with the hospice team that came in. There was immediate access and everybody working together, which was great. My mother-in-law liked the food. Even at the end when they were pureeing things, she still liked it. I saw that they were offering activities and people were participating, even though she wasn't able to. I think most of the people there were in better condition that my mother-in-law was in. She had fallen, but only because she was trying to be totally independent. She was of a very advanced age and fragile, and her health just kind of went downhill from there. I'm so grateful that I happened upon A Place for Mom online. We were in a crisis situation, having recently moved and trying to find a place in a new area 4 hours away where I knew no one. Within 15 minutes of inputting my information, somebody called me and explained the process. And then within 15 minutes of that, an advisor called me. We had an appointment at Legacy Ridge, half a mile form where we lived, by the end of the day. The advisor walked me through the entire process, and gave me the right verbiage for my search (I was looking for nursing homes, but we needed assisted living). I can't imagine going through the process without A Place for Mom, and I'm so pleased with the care we found at Legacy Ridge.

Overall, we've had a very good experience. My only concern is that staff turnover seems high, which can be hard in memory care because changes in the daily lives of those with dementia can be difficult to manage. I feel like with staff inconsistency, the staff can't be aware of all the ins and outs of each resident's needs. It's not insurmountable - they just have to start over from scratch with new employees. And overall they're doing a good job. For the most part, the staff that are there are good. My loved one seems happy with the food. But I would say activities are limited/non-existent due to Covid.

We moved my dad here to the assisted living center in [date removed] from another local assisted living center. My dad arrived in pretty bad shape after being in the hospital, and within a few weeks was back to walking (with walker), and doing so much better than prior to his hospitalization (Able to dress himself again and complete other daily living tasks on his own). He liked it so much better than the larger facility he was previously in. The staff at Legacy Marietta was super nice, the Director worked hard to make sure things were done, even if he had to do it himself, the food was very good (my dad was very picky about food), and everyone was caring and helpful. There was a med tech that worked nights that would come by my dads room and chat with him regularly. My Dad really liked it at Legacy Ridge Marietta and I would recommend.

What an amazing team! We moved from out of state and when we arrived the team knew all of our names, and they prepared an amazing food tray for us. My mom was exhausted and overwhelmed by everyone that came to her room to greet her and welcomed her to the community. When I walked into the building I knew it would be a good fit for my mother. I was right!

I was hopeful that this would be a good place for my mother after her stroke in 2019 but I WAS COMPLETELY WRONG!! She was only there for 5 months. Her caretakers ([name removed]& others) would say that she was capable of walking etc which she was not after her stroke. It was so frustrating as I complained on several occasions and it fell on death ears. They would complain and belittle her for having to help her at night to be able to go to the bathroom and they let her fall at least 3 times. After her last fall and splitting her head open she never made it "home" from the hospital. I was already in the process at that time of moving her from there but unfortunately we never made it that far before she passed. If you cherish your loved ones and want them to be cared for DO NOT CHOOSE ALTO!!

We toured a lot of facilities while looking, going to about 3 per week. Alto Senior Living was one of the last places we visited, it was only 5 minutes from my house so location played a big part. When I walked into Alto, I broke down and cried because the place was exactly what I was looking for for my dad. The atmosphere is great, the staff was friendly, and it was very clean. They are very good with communication as well. The room size my dad has is very spacious, his bedroom size is big enough to where we could put a queen size bed and dresser. It is like a small apartment. I have eaten here and the food was awesome, they have an excellent variety for each meal. I would absolutely recommend.

They try hard and there are some really nice people there. They really do care. [name removed], the director tries really hard. I don't have anything to compare it to, but overall they do a good job. The food is good, some days are restaurant quality. The activities included Bingo, and buses for lunch. They do have an activities director, they could do better at the activities though. I don't know what other facilities do for activities. They used to allow my mom come out on the front porch and they recently haven't allowed her to come out on the porch to see me. She has already had COVID. There was another couple sitting out on the porch and the staff wouldn't let us, as they stated she would need to quarantine for 14 days.
