Legend of McKinney sits in a two-story brick building near historic downtown McKinney, Texas, with plenty of natural light coming through floor-to-ceiling windows and comfy gathering spaces that make it feel warm and neighborly, though the area is mostly car-dependent so you'll probably need a ride for errands. The community serves adults age 55 and over, accepts some pets with a weight limit and a one-time $500 fee, and expects residents to care for their animals themselves. Apartments come in several types, including studios, single rooms, two-bedroom, and semi-private options, many with kitchenettes, private baths, and walk-in showers. There are inviting communal areas like cozy living rooms with fireplaces, outdoor courtyards, a bistro with coffee, tea, and snacks, a post office area, and activity rooms for hobbies or crafts.
You'll find a library with a good collection of books, the Oscars Theater for watching full-length films, and the Harmony Day Spa with a hair salon and whirlpool for relaxation or grooming. Dining takes place in restaurant-style settings under the Gold Leaf Dining program, which puts a focus on healthy meals and socializing, and there are more casual options like The Bistro as well. Shared spaces outside and in help residents connect and build a sense of community, with intentional design details like low-pile carpet and natural lighting aimed at safety and independence.
Legend of McKinney provides licensed, state-regulated assisted living, respite care, and Alzheimer's or memory care. There's a skilled nursing staff in-house, with nurses on site part of the time, plus Medication Technicians who stay trained with regular tests. Personalized care plans, designed by the Health Care Director, support each resident's needs, whether it's daily help, dressing, showering safely, or managing medicine, and there's a private Personal Care Suite for healthcare consults. The care team includes Health Care Directors, Medication Technicians, and Care Givers, all of whom participate in continuing education courses. Memory support is available for those living with dementia or Alzheimer's. Support staff also help with housekeeping, linen and laundry service, and dry cleaning.
Community life is active and organized by Life Enrichment associates-there are programs, activities, and shopping or medical trips scheduled during the week. Residents can access free transportation services, including trips for shopping on Mondays and medical visits within ten miles on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Religious services take place on-site. The front desk is monitored daily from 8 AM to 8 PM for visitor check-in and safety. For new residents, the "100 Hours 100 Days" program helps ease the transition, introducing people to Ambassadors and community activities.
Legend of McKinney is designed to support well-being and independence, with extras like a therapeutic whirlpool, scheduled fitness and wellness programs, and community rooms built for comfort. The community is licensed with Facility ID 107188 and License No. 308653, with services offered in English. There's a required minimum stay of 60 days, after which the lease is month-to-month with a 30-day notice, and respite stays aren't available. Some apartments allow pets up to the chosen weight, and the environment blends a welcoming Texas feel with features for safety and quality of life.
