Types of care available in Thomasville, GA
Independent Living
Some activities this community has is bingo, and exercise classes. There usually something to do every day. Legacy Village did not look like an assisted living facility, it looked more like a home. The room our loved one is currently in, has a bedroom with a little space for a couple chairs as well as a bathroom. They do also offer a two bedroom with a bath. The food served at this community is the only problem we have, its just not good quality food.
Very clean community friendly staff. Good food accommodating to my friends needs and wants. Highly recommend. When its time for me to move into assisted living it'll be Southern Pines!
They're a superb facility. My sister has been ther for over a year, this month. They did go up on her rent rate but we managed to get it reduced back to what it was. I do think the cost is a little expensive but I know the cost of living has gone up. I love it, personally. I wish I could afford to go there when I get older. I'm very impressed with them. The only thing is I would like there to be more activites. They've quit their exercise program because most of the residents are too old and can't do it but my sister is still active. It would be nice if there were more things that she could be involved in, but i realize she's only one of 80. Woodleaf is neat and clean and the personell is just remarkable! I would live there myself and I wouldn't put my sister anywhere that I wouldn't go.
