The Legacy at Herington

The Legacy at Herington sits at 2 E Ash St in Herington, Kansas, and folks have known it for over 60 years as a place focused on giving older adults care that fits what each person needs, whether that's a short stay for rehab after the hospital, long-term nursing care, or some help with memory issues. The team at The Legacy follows values like respect, kindness, honesty, integrity, and growth, and they work with all different kinds of residents, treating everyone with fairness and dignity no matter their situation. The building itself feels homelike, with private or shared rooms and sometimes a kitchenette, and the staff want people to feel safe, welcome, and part of the community. Skilled nursing care is present 24/7, with nurses on site, help with medicines, continence support, and wound care, plus assistance with daily routines as needed. Residents find services like cleaning, laundry, and rides to doctor's appointments or social events. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy happen right there, making it easier for folks who need rehab or extra support. People with memory loss can live in the memory care area, and the assisted living section lets folks stay independent while having help nearby. The staff writes up care plans for each person and works on their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. The Legacy supports people who pay privately, use Medicaid for long-term stays, or do short-term rehab through Medicare, and they've set up programs to help folks with different financial needs. Everything runs under a compliance plan to make sure care stays in line with rules, and the facility always welcomes questions from families or potential residents.
