The Legacy at Highwoods Preserve is a nice assisted living facility. The commons areas are well-appointed, and you always see residents in those areas. They can sit out front under a canopy. I wish they had a garden area. The outdoor has many palm trees and some other pretty landscaping.
The care is good for the most part. They are short-handed at times, and I have an issue with my mother's haircare and grooming. She can't do her own hair, and only gets showered twice a week. Her hair is always an issue, and not sure about oral care. The food is okay, but my sister brings her cooked food every week and takes her out at least once a week to eat. Mom misses being able to cook for herself.
This past week or so, Mom had ants in her room, and they were crawling on her from her chair. I was aghast when I heard that. They came in and sprayed, and I haven't heard her complain any more about them.
Legacy decorates nicely for holidays and special days. They do a very nice Christmas dinner for guests and family.
There is a monthly schedule of activities for those that wish to participate. The activities director takes groups out to eat.
They have in-house movies.
The team at Legacy are amazing. If you or your loved one is in need of quality care and a fun place to call home, this is it!
I've lived here for over 2 years and I love the people and the staff helps me so much this is a great place to live
Outstanding Senior Living Care at Legacy at Highwoods Preserve! September 1, 2025
One of the most impressive aspects of Legacy is their transparency and responsiveness. When I bring up a concern or suggestion, it is immediately addressed with professionalism and urgency. They tell it like it is, ensuring that families are informed and confident in their loved one’s care.
While Legacy’s pricing is competitively reasonable, their performance is light-years ahead of any other facility in the area. The level of respect, attentiveness, and quality of life they provide is truly 1000% better than what we previously experienced at Blue Heron Senior Living.

My mother has been at Legacy for close to three years. I am very glad we chose this place for her. The facilities are really nice, and the people that work there seem to genuinely care about my Mom. They have a few parties throughout the year, and bring in special events such as soccer dogs, singers, etc.
I know it is hard to keep good employees, and sometimes the facility is short-staffed, but I know that is an issue almost everywhere. I do appreciate that when I bring a concern to the staff, it is immediately addressed.
The food at Legacy seemed to be better quality and taste when my Mom first moved in. She is not a huge fan of the food now. Many menu items seem like an odd choice, and not what you’d find in typical restaurants or homes.
The monthly price has gone up considerably, since the new owners took over. That has been difficult to deal with, but I don’t want to move my Mother anywhere else. We will keep her at Legacy as long as we can.
The front desk and event staff are marvelous, and the in-house therapists are very knowledgeable and caring.
Overall, I would recommend Legacy to anyone needing assisted living care.
