Homey atmosphere

All 5's. Great place, so glad she's there. Staff and nurses are very friendly and helpful. She loves the bingo and music programs. They also take weekly trips to various stores. The food is very good too. The apartment itself is really nice. Has an apartment feel, rather than a hotel room/hospital room feel. Very homey.

Legend of Lancaster

Staff/care - Solid overall. It would be nice to get updates from the staff (weekly or bi-weekly) to know how he's doing. I get updates from family and friends who visit him, but not the staff. Activities - seem to have a lot for the residents to do. Food - seems to be good for the residents. Room size - good. Cleanliness - Seems to be good. Only main negative i have is how expensive it is per month.

Great experience

The people are very friendly and helpful. The only thing that could be improved is the transportation to and from appointments. They only transport 2 days a week and makes it hard to schedule appointments. I would recommend them to others. Everything else is good.

Easy Living at Legend of Lancaster

They are just so helpful and friendly. My mom has only been a resident there for 2 1/2 months and she was hospitalized during that time moved out of assisted living put into memory. Care graduated from memory care back into assisted-living and they just made the transition be as smooth as possible and they're just wonderful people.

They gave me as much time as I needed for the tour. The sales associate was very caring and knowledgable. The community was very clean and homey. It is convenient and to travel to from my home and easy to get in and out of.

Great environment for an assisted living parent to live!

All are 5...Were pleased. The size. Large enough to offer opportunities but small enough to not be overwhelming. The "loop" all on one floor. Can't get disoriented!

Review for Legend of Lancaster

Response times horrible. Sometimes waited 45+ min for anyone to come after using call button. Excuse was always not enough people. Food wasn't bad when first moved in but got worse as time went on. No variety bland taste small portions.

Really wished we had a different experience

Understaffed and not sufficiently trained. No consistency in staff schedules which makes it difficult to build relationships. They can improve by; Better training with appropriate interventions to manage behaviors associated with dementia and memory challenges.

Legend experience

This review is based on my brother-in-law (S**) admission. He has Alzheimer's. It's pretty bad he doesn't remember, incoherent, & paranoid. From first day there was lack of communication. Upper mgmt fired head charge nurse on spot before admission day. S** was put in room where previous occupant was relocated out because a female patient consistently came in his room. 5+ x a DAY! Seriously! Numerously, we found her sleeping in his bed, she had repeatedly defecated (diarrhea) in bed, on the floor & in the bathroom. Disgusting!! Mgmt. & staff knew of issue and still put S** in said room. Told there was NOTHING they could do!. Aggravation triggered S** to to act out. Staff couldn't resolve, no mgmt on site. Cops were called, took S** to hospital. Mgmt Said NO TAKE BACKS! Still in hospital to date. State on site for 3+ days. Knew a bout woman. Legends falsely ramped up staff+ . Surprisingly, as per friends this is normal at memory care facilities. They can't fix it. Very Sad.

Very friendly staff. Activities director keeps people busy with various activities. Food is varied and well prepared. Location is perfect. CVS drugstore within walking distance. Several medical offices about a mile away. So far, we have no complaints.

I found them to not be at least in some part not what they profess to be as a memory support community.

Though they certainly were a handful of very kind professional caregivers. My experience for my husband was there was very little hands on ADL assistance. I even found or observed that assistance was not provided to residents who needed assistance to eat their meals. “I’m not allowed to feed residence “. I didn’t much understand this, but I did observe that this did happen.

Overall good facility would recommend

[price removed] charge for power wheelchair! Need more activities. Orientation to the facility would be helpful. Food is good breakfast is the best. Housekeeping of my room could be better. PS we just celebrated Madrid gras. We had mask beads snacks and music. It was great fun.

Overall a good community with room for improvement

What I like best is that it is small - 45 apartments in Personal care, so my mom is known by everyone and receives good care. The staff are great - very friendly and kind. The size of her apartment is perfect. The fact that it is one floor is wonderful. They could improve the food. I've had meals with her and the food is really bad. It is overcooked. Proteins are dried out and leather hard. Vegetables are cooked to the point of being mush. Most plates are returned to the kitchen with a lots of food on them. They need to make this area better.

Very nice facility with pleasant and helpful staff

My husband is there many days a week to visit with his dad and said he is very pleased overall with the facility and staff. The only complaint I'm aware of that they've had some issues with is regular cleaning (housekeeping) of his dad's room and bathroom. They've addressed that with the director and seems to have improved.

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know Pennsylvania’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Pennsylvania’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
