The Legacy at St. Johns sits at 100 Hillcrest Heights Ave in the Fruit Cove neighborhood of Saint Johns, Florida, and you'll notice it's wheelchair accessible right at the entry with parking available for visitors, and while the building keeps cool with air conditioning, people often say it feels like a friendly place where owners and staff are kind and treat everyone like family, which can matter as much as anything else. The community welcomes seniors with different needs, offering three main care options-independent living where active seniors live easy and social lives, assisted living for those who may want help with things like bathing, dressing, or medication, and memory care for folks living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, and the memory care area uses alert systems and secure courtyards to help prevent wandering and confusion, with staff who are trained in dementia care, and you'll find both indoor and outdoor common spaces for activities, plus a beautifully decorated secure courtyard.
Rooms, private living spaces, and some kitchenettes help residents keep their independence, and some reviews mention nice food and enjoyable activities. Devotional activities, group outings, and social events are all available, though the schedule can change, and the focus seems to be on creating a safe, caring place that feels like home. The facility provides a 24-hour call system, supervision, support for both ambulatory and non-ambulatory needs, and services like diabetic and incontinence care, and sometimes home care can be arranged, with aides offering companionship and help for those who want to stay in their own apartments, because not everyone needs the same type of help every day.
The Legacy at St. Johns is a small, privately owned community, and staff try to give personalized care that fits each person's needs, so the help changes as the residents do, and many families are glad for this kind of tailored approach, which can be especially important if someone's health changes over time. Amenities support day-to-day life, aiming to protect dignity and promote safety, and while exact details on floor plans and rental fees aren't listed, the broader neighborhood has apartments, condos, houses, and townhomes with a range of features, so if family members wish to stay close by, there are options nearby. The community holds an active "In Review" license status (#12250), follows federal laws that protect residents from discrimination, and it earns good feedback, with a score of 8 from reviews. The goal at The Legacy at St. Johns seems to be giving residents a warm, secure, and socially engaging place to live, surrounded by a staff that treats residents with respect and kindness, making it possible for many types of seniors-whether they want an active independent atmosphere or need more help day-to-day-to find comfort and community there.
