Legacy Living Florence sits on a scenic spot looking out over the west side of Florence and the rolling fields and trees of Northern Kentucky, and the community has a mix of 28 Independent Living Town Homes and 71 Assisted Living apartments-some studios, some with one or two bedrooms, some with basements-and 29 Memory Care apartments, which means folks can find a living situation that fits their needs, and many of the town homes come with attached garages, full kitchens, Internet, and back patios. Residents get amenities like maintenance-free living, lawn care, trash, snow removal, no extra utility bills or property taxes, and around-the-clock staff and Care Team support, plus the campus has a full emergency response system at your fingertips, and a friendly executive director named Gwen Reverman keeps things running. Independent living comes with kitchen appliances, garages, meal plans, porches to enjoy the views, WiFi, and scheduled transportation to appointments and outings, so you can keep things simple as you age, while assisted living residents get help with medication, bathing, grooming, and more, from personal attendants trained for the job.
The Memory Care neighborhood is built especially for people with memory loss or cognitive concerns, using Teepa Snow's "Positive Approach Care" philosophy, with a Care Team that works with folks using the "Hand-Under-Hand" technique, and there's both indoor and outdoor options, like a courtyard, and specialty spaces for hobbies such as textile work or woodworking, and even doll therapy. The campus has helpful features like a fitness center, indoor and outdoor fire pits, a spa, a theater, chapel, well-stocked library, and a pub for daily happy hour; there are also communal dining rooms, chef-prepared meals with quality ingredients, and programs for games, movies, hobbies, facilitated day trips, and entertainment, so people can find activities they enjoy and see visiting performers. Shared spaces offer free WiFi and cable, there's a computer station, and pet-friendly policies mean that residents can bring a companion pet for a fee, though there are restrictions on size or breed to keep everyone safe and comfortable.
Housekeeping and laundry services are built in, transportation services run regularly, and there's no worry about home maintenance, so those who want to enjoy life without chores can focus on hobbies, socializing, or wellness programs. Rehabilitation and skilled nursing are available for those who need more support, and respite care is also on offer for short stays. The staff, known for being quick to respond and for their compassion and kindness, work hard to make Legacy Living Florence a comfortable, friendly place, and they stick to person-centered care which respects each resident's needs and wants. Application fees and deposits run $500 each, with rent and care fees that change depending on your level of support, and tours are available if you want to get a sense of the dining, daily life, and activities for yourself. This is a place that offers different care and housing types, supports independent and assisted living, helps those with memory concerns, keeps nutritious food on the menu, and tries to make everyone feel at home in the community.
