Seasonal breakfast, lunch and dinner menus with an emphasis on fresh ingredients and culinary excellence are prepared each day under the supervision of our executive chef and served by wait staff in the clubhouse dining rooms each day. Nutrition is a paramount focus in our kitchens and reasonable special diets can be accommodated if requested. The services of a registered dietician are provided to residents on a regular basis. Home delivery and take-out meals are available.

Residents will receive thirty meal credits per month (or the equivalent of one meal per day per month) under the standard monthly payment agreement. Those who prefer fewer meals may receive a credit each month by agreeing to a smaller plan.

Our transportation offering will evolve based on the needs of our members. When Legacy opens, our vans and drivers will run regularly to grocery stores, banks, shopping centers, and other desirable destinations. They will also run by request—so if you need a ride to the airport, you have an appointment with a specialist in Asheville or you would like to visit a festival in Hendersonville, we’ll gladly make the arrangements.

Accreditation by CARF requires a community to be operating for several years before it is eligible to apply. Legacy will follow industry best practices to put the community in a position to consider CARF accreditation upon reaching eligibility.  

Individual residences will be equipped with a campus-wide emergency response system. Security and nursing personnel will respond immediately. Additionally, our wired-campus can accommodate the latest in safety technology including health and safety monitoring, alerting staff to any emergent situations such as a fall. 911 will be called whenever emergency care is needed.

CCRCs are subject to state regulations in terms of their financial management and the extent and enforcement of those regulations vary from state to state. In North Carolina, the state Department of Insurance provides rigorous oversight, requiring multiple documents to be submitted annually, including a disclosure statement, actuarial studies, audited financial statements, and many more. They also impose strict cash reserve requirements and escrow requirements related to entry fees for start-up communities.

The healthcare operations of CCRCs are generally regulated both by state health departments and subject to Federal oversight if the community participates in Medicare or Medicaid, as Legacy does.

Our Pathways to Wellness program for members living independently offers planned on-campus primary care, therapy clinics, visiting specialists, a home care agency and even a service to help you manage the processing of insurance claims.

Our Health Care center, exclusively available to Legacy members, will provide the highest quality assisted, memory and nursing care with staff carefully selected and trained to maximize the quality of life and dignity for all they serve.

Primary Care Clinic

The Primary Care Clinic will contract with a local physician practice to provide on-site primary care that will provide routine examinations, lab work, assessments, and other more common needs for members choosing to affiliate.

Visiting Specialists 

Legacy will also provide space for visiting specialists such as audiologists, podiatrists, and dentists to see and treat patients.

Assisted Living

We will have a number of Assisted Living rooms—each with the same Arts & Crafts elegance that you’ll find throughout the entire campus. Designed with efficiency, comfort, care, and convenience in mind, our Assisted Living rooms are on the second floor of our main building, with its relaxing patio, open areas, and prime proximity to our Health Center.

Memory Care

Assisted Living residents who are dealing with Alzheimer’s and related dementia will benefit from our state-of-the-art Memory Care Program. While under our care, we will seek to strengthen and extend memory function of our participants while creating an environment that comforts and calms. The program emphasizes mental and physical exercises, memory cueing, as well as the establishment and maintenance of routines.

Skilled Nursing

Skilled nursing is an integral part of our offerings here at Legacy. We foster a person-centered environment, with emphasis on respect, privacy and a true understanding of each individual in our care. Between our state-of-the-art Health Center and our trained, caring staff being available 24 hours a day, our community will be here to support our members with the expert care they need—today and tomorrow.

Yes. As a sustainably-designed CCRC, Legacy will be staffed and equipped to serve the healthcare needs only of its members from routine check-ups to critical care. When members purchase a home at Legacy, they enter into a Membership Agreement which entitles them to receive the continuing care services at our private Health Center at a discounted rate. Life Care Contracts are available for members who want additional protection against the rising cost of long-term healthcare.

We offer a full range of healthcare services no matter your need during retirement. From care during independent living to assisted living to skilled nursing, we offer the comprehensive care needed for sustained peace of mind throughout your time in our community.  Legacy will also exceed state staffing minimums to make sure that everyone who needs help with daily living gets the closest possible attention.

Of course. Legacy members are free to continue to consult with any healthcare service providers they choose. We also provide transportation services for appointments at nearby medical offices or hospitals for a nominal fee.
