Legacy Senior Services

The St. Gabriel community is a beautiful place, and even with the staff being short handed we do know they are trying their best and they are wonderful people. Due to them being short handed which is an understanding, there are still some promises that were made that have not been followed through with. Also the meals could be improved, that is a constant complaint for our loved one.

Our family had an in person tour and we really liked this community, we loved that the residents could walk all the way around in a complete circle with a courtyard in the middle. However they only had one room left and it was a shared room and bathroom.

I really like them. It's a very good place. For the food, you can order a la carte, and it's good clean food (not processed). For example, you can order a nice piece of salmon, potatoes, veggies. Most of the staff is excellent. The one negative is they don't communicate well between their internal groups, and you just don't know who you need to talk to when you have an issue. I would love to see them put together a roadmap so you can see how everything works. But it's a nice place overall.

It was exactly what we needed. My mom had shoulder surgery and needed to be someplace where she could be monitored and fed and have help if she needed it for a two-week period. They were the only place nearby that offered respite care for a logical amount. I thought it was a great value, and the cheapest we found.

Facility is friendly with staff getting to know Mom and family members. Very supportive of the moving in process and being flexible with getting Mom settled. Food is good with options for each meal. Weekly meal plans allow matching Mom's eating patterns. They were good with managing positive Covid test results and offered safe options for visitation. The primary trouble area is their service to transport the resident to medical appointments. There have been a few missed or late appointments due to limitations with that service.

We looked at 4 facilities and we chose St. Gabriel because it is really close to my home so I can get here quickly and I met with the director and I really liked him and how he interacted with the residents. My mother moved in right after covid was kind of ending, so they were still trying to get staff back up. I am very pleased with the level of care that she is receiving. The food is very good, I was able to eat quite a few meals with her, they are chef prepared. I have recommended them to several folks. I really like how things are done here and the informality of it.

We were able to do an in person tour at this facility, it was very very nice, however our loved one is very picky and he did not think it was going to be a good fit.

I would recommend this community to others. The people seem to genuine be helpful to the residents. It is a smaller community with personal care.

I feel the value here was good. I think it is a good community. If you have an active family member they be bored there. Due to the pandemic they didn't have activities outside the community.

Some activities this community has is bingo, and exercise classes. There usually something to do every day. Legacy Village did not look like an assisted living facility, it looked more like a home. The room our loved one is currently in, has a bedroom with a little space for a couple chairs as well as a bathroom. They do also offer a two bedroom with a bath. The food served at this community is the only problem we have, its just not good quality food.

We chose this community because it was closest to my residence as well as the appearance of the inside and the communication. We are very impressed. We thought it would be a comfortable place to reside. The food is really good, it is very nutritious and they make a lot of effort to make the meals acceptable to the residents. The room sizes are comfortable, it would be nicer if the shared rooms were larger. They provide painting, group activities, games, and TV time. There is always something going on there so residents always have something to do. The facility also does a lot of charities for different community groups. I would recommend this community depending on the care of the individual, if it was minimal care I would say I would recommend, if it was a higher level of care, I would not recommend.

I liked this facility & staff very much. This is a faith based facility which appealed to me. The facility was very clean & smelled good. The marketing director, [name removed] made my husband & I feel at ease & was a wealth of information especially for Veterans Affairs. The Renaissance & Harbor have a great home like setting & pricing was reasonable. They offer respite care. Liesa has called me many times to check on my mom & myself during covid. She is amazing!

Not active enough for my mother. Staff was very attentive and helpful. The facility looked clean and well-maintained.

I loved the small setting of the facility. The rooms were simple and just what my loved one needs. The members were all out of their rooms, interacting with others. The place smelled clean and fresh.

Disclaimer: I have had maybe ten experiences with assisted living facilities, over many years. I am comparing Legacy Village to all those, not just to local facilities. Legacy Village is about average for a contemporary facility, on the Atlanta scale. On the Thomasville scale, it's great. The staff and administrators are involved and engaged. Diet is comfort food - appropriate for the residents' tastes, maybe not for their cardio... but they seem to like it. Activities are many and varied. Finally, the cost is quite reasonable. On the down side, the physical plant is getting a little tired. Yes, they clean and paint, but the technology of assisted living has moved on. It still feels like an old-school "retirement home", but again, that's a matter of taste. Regardless, if you're looking in the Tallahassee - Valdosta corridor, this is about the best facility out there. Good value, great staff and location. We would make this choice again without hesitation.

[name removed] was really nice. Memory care center was not a sad place like other areas. Have a 2 bed with 2 bath, no pets but not a deal breaker yet. Neg - no pets, no toaster

[name removed] we spent time with us, answered all our questions and provided us this information on things we hadn’t thought of. The tour was amazing and loved the amounts of options available to Mom. Definitely on the second visit list. Thank you [name removed] for everything!

Again, less homey more businesslike. Tour person seemed ready to go home, less chatty. Lovely rooms. Told that there would be no waiting. Don’t like the elevator needed for second floor residents. Parking is not good. In the back, needing to walk around the front from a poorly lit lot.

My mom doing great and just fine with the help of the community. She has participated in a few community activities but not as for the outings yet. The food is not terrible. Since we visit a lot, we have gotten to know the staff and they give us updates.
