Legacy Ridge Trussville offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to remain in familiar surroundings even if needs change over time. Clinical support includes wound care management, oxygen administration and strict oversight of special diets, along with comprehensive diabetic care for residents using oral medication, injections or sliding-scale insulin. Staff monitor health changes daily and coordinate with outside providers as required, emphasizing continuity of treatment for each resident’s care plan.
Additional safeguards begin with a registered or licensed nurse on duty around the clock and continue with routine background checks on all employees, an awake night shift, door alarms and a fenced rear area. The community supports mild dementia conditions through structured routines and secure environments, and on-site podiatry helps residents stay mobile. Caregivers can assist with bathing, dressing, eating and toileting when some physical help is needed, and transfer support ranges from standby supervision to one-person lifts for walker or wheelchair users. Pull cords in apartments alert staff at any time.
Apartments vary in layout, and not every unit has every feature, but options include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls and basic furnishings. Residents may personalize spaces with their own décor or paint colors, and cable service is available so individuals can maintain preferred viewing habits.
Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet nutritional guidelines, with snacks offered between dining periods. The kitchen can adjust meals for doctor-ordered diets, allergies or texture modifications, ensuring residents on heart-healthy, diabetic or other plans receive appropriate servings.
Legacy Ridge Trussville extends daily life with resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a movie room and a wellness center. Internet access in common areas and apartments keeps residents connected, while landscaped communal gardens provide outdoor seating. On-site religious services are scheduled for those who wish to attend, and the property is close to public transportation for off-site appointments or shopping. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
