Legacies in Caledonia, MI is an Independent Living community that keeps medical support readily available for residents who use oxygen or require special diets. Although it does not specialize in dementia care, the community maintains protocols to make sure those two medical needs are addressed promptly and safely.
Staffing and safety systems are in place around the clock. A nurse is on call 24 hours a day, and all team members undergo background checks. The night shift remains awake, and each apartment is equipped with a pull-cord as well as optional personal emergency response systems—both automatically connect to 911. For day-to-day personal care, residents can request assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, or toileting, and staff can help with transfers for people who use walkers or wheelchairs.
Apartments come in a range of layouts; some include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, furnished setups, cable service, and in-unit laundry. Other residences share certain features, so it is best to confirm availability when touring. Housekeeping is provided on a regular schedule, and Independent Living residents can also opt for laundry service. Medication management monitoring is offered for those in Independent Living who want an added layer of oversight.
Dining is flexible. Residents may order meals as needed, eat in the main dining room, or have food delivered to their apartments. Menu planning accommodates physician-ordered or resident-requested diet modifications, including the special diets supported by the community.
Beyond the apartment and dining services, Legacies offers resident parking, is wheelchair accessible throughout, and welcomes pets. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Additional on-site amenities include a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, library, internet access, and regularly scheduled religious services for those who wish to attend.
