They have great communication and think about situations like a family member does. My mom walks all the time, like 6-10miles a day and they told me they were watching her calorie intake and gives her snacks because she burns so much. We were worried about the same thing and they brought it to me and already had a solution for it before I had a chance to bring it up. That really made me confident in their care.... Read more

My loved one is currently a resident at The Legacy of DeForest and the overall experience at this facility has been pretty good for us. The cleanliness and the care services are good. The friendliness and the staff are okay. However, the meals are terrible.

The staff at The Legacy of DeForest have been great. There has been lots of turnover in the kitchen help. The housekeeping is good. The activities are great. I would recommend The Legacy of Deforest to others. Comparing it to others, it is much better.

Response from The Legacy of DeForest
June 4, 2024Thank you for your kind words! It has been a pleasure having you be part of our community!
The Legacy at DeForest community went over and above for us. We didn't have the funds they needed and I got a call that the owner wanted to help us and opened their doors to both of my parents...Based on the experience we have had so far with The Legacy of DeForest, we would absolutely recommend them to other families.

Response from The Legacy of DeForest
October 11, 2023Thank you for your kind words. We really enjoy taking care of your family and serving our seniors.
They have a staffing issue. They can't find enough people to run the place and are shorthanded, which is the only reason they're not getting a perfect rating. That, and the food is terrible. But other than that, I really like the place. The people that are there are nice and friendly, and it's a nice place.

They made promises and they didn't go through with it. So we did not place our loved one here due to this.

A Place for Mom has scored The Legacy of DeForest 8.6 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.
We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.
Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
