The facilities at Legend of Lancaster were just incredible. The building appeared to be brand new. It was clean, and it did not look, feel or smell like a hospital. It did not look or feel dirty either. It felt like a hotel vacation spot for older people. It had a very nice dining facility and it looked like a restaurant. While I was there, the residents were playing bingo. They were trying to get residents involved in something and it was as much about mental activity as it was physical activity.

A Place for Mom did all the research and presented what was available for our needs. They also helped schedule the visits. The thought of trying to do this with all available locations would have been difficult.

We had some concerns in the beginning about our loved one being kept clean and tidy, so once we brought up these concerns to their attention every time we call or our family goes to visit she is kept clean so we are glad they are following through with that.

We toured Legend of Lancaster. I liked the fact that we could get my sister a 1-bedroom apartment. You could get an efficiency apartment, too. I also like the fact that you didn't feel like you were in assisted living. It felt like you were in an upscale apartment building. It was lovely. It wa...

We toured Legend of Lancaster. I liked the fact that we could get my sister a 1-bedroom apartment. You could get an efficiency apartment, too. I also like the fact that you didn't feel like you were in assisted living. It felt like you were in an upscale apartment building. It was lovely. It was a beautiful community. They also had a lot of activities. They offered music, and they had singalongs. They sent us home a couple of cupcakes, and they were good. They have a lot of different areas. They have a coffee snack bar, a physical therapy room, and a salon. All the communities have a doctor that comes in once a week, but Legend of Lancaster offered dentistry as well. I found out they had a little mobile van that was coming around. And they had different sizes of apartments plus having an efficiency option as well. I liked the fact that they could have a one-bedroom apartment, so it seemed more like you weren't going into a home of some kind, that you were going into an apartment community versus assisted living. I like that concept. When I walked in there, they had a little easel set up in the entrance way, and it said, 'Welcome, Janice.' And then when my sister and I went, they got, 'Welcome, Elaine and Janice.' Their marketing manager and the girl that I met with up there were really on the ball. It made you feel like 'We're here to help you. We're glad you're here.' It was a very nice touch, and none of the others did. So that made me feel like they care. It's a very subtle message, but it made you feel like you mattered.
