Legacy Ridge offers a mix of independent living apartments, assisted living, and memory care apartments, and they also have residential cottages for people who like a quieter setting, and these spaces come with full kitchens, which is nice if someone still likes to cook or just wants the extra freedom, but you can also bring in a nurse or aide for a short time if you need help with everyday things or health needs, and folks in independent living can get full meals in the dining room, so you don't always have to cook unless you want to. The community also provides skilled nursing care with 24-hour medical services, physical therapy, and rehab for those who need a higher level of support, and there's a range of room sizes, like studio apartments from 265 to 305 square feet, and those are well-appointed to feel comfortable. Memory care is a big part of Legacy Ridge, and they have a dedicated Carriage House wing for people living with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, where safety and support are big priorities, and there's secure outdoor space so residents can spend time outside without worry. The Valeo™ Memory Care program uses the Montessori Method and focuses on activities-art, music, exercise, and thinking games-to help keep minds active and spirits up, and caregivers are around day and night, with special training to offer comfort and help reduce confusion or anxiety, even to stop wandering for folks who can't remember their way.
Assisted living services help with dressing, grooming, taking medicine, laundry, cooking, and cleaning, so people can stay as independent as possible, and staff manage medication and give diabetes care, and there's a strong focus on meeting each person's unique needs with a personalized schedule that respects their habits and likes. The staff also hold events and social gatherings, making sure there's something going on, from fitness classes in the gym to arts and crafts in the activity room, and there are nice spaces like a salon, library, spa, safe courtyards, and even a restaurant-style dining room. The facility's Valeo™ program also includes a women-only neighborhood with female caregivers and custom activities, and there's a supportive environment for both residents and their families, including monthly support groups for those caring for someone with dementia.
Legacy Ridge is a continuing care retirement community, so residents can stay put as their needs change, moving from independent living to more support if their health declines, and they publish planning resources and guides to help people understand costs and timing, with tools and stories to make the transition smoother. Programs like ServiceTree and StoryTree™ focus on giving residents joyful days filled with meaning, and the Salus™ philosophy guides everything, aiming to boost social, intellectual, spiritual, and physical health for each person. The location makes it easy to get to local spots like parks and the Wegmans pharmacy, and daily life is planned to encourage friendships, hobbies, and enjoyment. Legacy Ridge is licensed by Virginia, with oversight and regular checks in place, and it's operated by Solvere Senior Living, who design communities to be comfortable, secure, and easy to live in as people age. There's always staff available, with no set closing time, so residents can feel safe around the clock, and the simple, homelike setting tries to keep everything relaxed, whether someone just wants to read a book, join an activity, or chat with new friends.
