Legacy Ridge at Buckhead sits in a quiet, tree-lined area near Chastain Park in Atlanta, offering both assisted living and memory care with a focus on safety and comfort, and residents find easy access to shops, restaurants, pharmacies like CVS, and parks. The community's secured memory care building is designed for people with Alzheimer's and dementia, and the whole place uses a Wander Alert System with bracelets to prevent residents from wandering, which helps keep everyone safe, even those with major behavior issues or exit-seeking tendencies. Nurses, LPNs, and RNs stay on staff, and doctors and visiting specialists like dentists, podiatrists, and therapists come regularly, so there's always someone around to help with health needs, and residents who need more attention get help too. Staff stay awake and alert all night, responding with a 24-hour call system, and manage medications and behaviors for those who can't remember or have trouble.
Residents can choose between different floor plans, including studio, one- and two-bedroom layouts, with sizes from 330 to 442 square feet, and they can bring favorite furniture or personal items to make things feel like home. The living spaces stay comfortable, with private bathrooms, climate controls, and spacious closets, while common rooms-like a game room, library, fitness center, spa theater, and salon-are easy to reach and never overwhelming, since the building avoids confusing halls or a maze-like setup. There are raised gardens, outdoor walking paths, and gathering spots for social events or quiet visits with family, and people with cats or dogs can keep their companions here, since pet care is available, which makes life feel more normal.
Legacy Ridge at Buckhead can provide many levels of care, from light support with simple daily chores to heavy care-assistance with bathing, dressing, or even diabetic care and incontinence help-so as needs change, residents don't have to move away. Those needing respite care, hospice support, or help after a hospital stay will find programs in place, as will those looking for skilled memory care using the SPIRIT Program. The dining staff prepare fresh meals all day, including special diets like gluten-free, low sodium, and low sugar, served in a private or restaurant-style setting, and residents have access to all-day dining, snacks at the snack bar, and even a chef on site.
Activities fill the days, with brain fitness, yoga, stretching, exercise classes, art, gardening, music, Netflix movie nights, card games, trivia, outings to attractions around Atlanta, and intergenerational programs. Residents can enjoy painting, karaoke, Wii bowling, tai chi, and wine tastings, and there's structured time for learning with the Academy Programming-offering seminars and talks. Nurses monitor health for 12-16 hours daily, and licensed staff respond at any hour, so residents feel safe and attended to at all times, and the behavioral team can manage aggressive or challenging behaviors. On a daily basis, staff help with housekeeping, laundry, errands like grocery trips, transportation for appointments, and there's secure resident parking. The property is managed by Atlas Senior Living, and both men and women are welcome, with some women-only activities.
Beauty services, like hair and nail care, give residents a way to treat themselves, and devotional services are available. Reviews from families and residents rate the community very highly, giving it a score of 9.5, and many people appreciate the friendly staff, scenic surroundings, easy-to-navigate layout, and options to age in place with growing care needs. Legacy Ridge at Buckhead doesn't claim to be perfect, but it does make a solid effort to balance safety, health, and enjoyable days for seniors who need assisted living or memory care.
