The Legacy of Camden serves adults 55 and older, and the place is set up for many different needs, so folks can live on their own in independent apartments, get help through assisted living, use memory care if they need it, or even get nursing home support, and short-term respite care is there if needed. The staff works around the clock, and they've got nurses on duty, a nurse on call, and a doctor on call, and there's extra help for medication, bathing, dressing, and managing other everyday needs, plus a wireless emergency response system in every apartment and an emergency response team if anything happens. Apartments range from studios to one- and two-bedroom suites, all with private, full bathrooms that can handle wheelchairs, and electricity, water, and Wi-Fi are covered in the rent, so there aren't surprise expenses for these basic needs. If someone needs dental work, podiatry, speech therapy, occupational therapy, or physical therapy, those professionals come to the building, and home care services are available right there as well.
Everybody gets three restaurant-style meals a day in the dining room, snacks, and a daily routine of activities run by a full-time social director, including wellness classes, card games, outings, devotional services, and more, and the fitness center and enclosed courtyard (some care options) give people space to be active. The place has a beauty salon and barber service, laundry and housekeeping every week, in-house maintenance, and transportation to professional appointments, so getting to the doctor or therapist is not a hassle, plus resident parking is provided if you drive. Folks are allowed to keep small pets, like cats and dogs, and there's a no-smoking policy inside all rooms and indoor areas.
The building is all one story, so moving around is easy, and places are accessible for wheelchairs or walkers, with indoor common areas to relax or visit with others, and a private dining room for family or special events. Security runs 24 hours, and there's a staff that tries to be patient and caring, aiming to help everyone maintain independence or step in with more care as health needs change. Medicaid is accepted, and the facility functions as a continuing care retirement community, so you can move between different levels of care without having to leave, and everything is designed to fit both comfort and personal needs. The Legacy of Camden isn't fancy or full of hype, but it does offer a real range of services, comfortable living, simple pleasures, and steady support for people who want to feel both independent and safe as they age.
