Legacy Retirement Community in Iowa City delivers two primary levels of care. Assisted Living is available for residents who need help with daily routines, while an Independent Living option is in place for individuals who remain largely self-sufficient. Both programs are able to accommodate people living with mild dementia, allowing them to remain in familiar surroundings for as long as possible.

On-site medical resources include a therapy room equipped for rehabilitation sessions and the capability to work with residents who have psychiatric conditions, reducing the need for outside appointments. Staff members can provide some physical assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, and they monitor residents who need cues or standby help while eating. This range of support allows care plans to be adjusted easily as needs change.

Apartments come in several layouts; some have private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, and the option for residents to paint or decorate their rooms. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are included, but not every unit contains every feature, so it is important to confirm specific details when choosing a floor plan.

Meals are served three times daily with a set menu, and a made-to-order option is available at each seating. Gluten-free and vegetarian choices are always on hand, and residents can request snacks between meals. In-room dining and a private dining room support recovery periods or family gatherings. Independent Living residents receive monthly housekeeping and may select a monthly meal plan that fits their personal schedules.

Supportive amenities round out daily life. The property offers resident parking, is fully wheelchair accessible, and permits smoking in designated outdoor areas. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. A barber and beauty shop, exercise room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, and a library are available on-site. Transportation services include scheduled medical shuttle trips, and the campus is close to public transportation for residents who prefer independent travel.
