The Legacy at Long Meadow in Richmond, TX delivers assisted-living support for residents who need help with daily activities while still wanting to keep as much independence as possible. On-site clinical oversight includes diabetes management that addresses glucose monitoring, medication assistance, and diet coordination. The community also brings in a licensed speech therapist for residents recovering from stroke, injury, or other conditions that affect communication and swallowing. Families looking for temporary placement will find that short-term respite stays are available, giving caregivers a break or providing a safe setting after hospital discharge.
Care is delivered inside a fully secured community, an important feature for residents who may be at risk of wandering or simply prefer an added level of safety. Trained team members are on duty around the clock to respond to emergencies, assist with mobility, and coordinate with outside physicians or therapists as needed. Routine wellness checks, medication administration, and help with bathing, dressing, and grooming are part of the standard service package, scaled to each resident’s care plan.
Apartments and suites vary in layout and finish, so not every unit comes with every feature, but options can include kitchenettes for light meal preparation, wheelchair-accessible showers, Wi-Fi, cable or satellite TV, and individual climate controls. Select residences provide a private balcony, patio, or deck overlooking landscaped outdoor areas, and common spaces such as a central fireplace lounge and a piano or organ room are available for relaxation and informal gatherings. Parking is offered for residents and guests, and the community is pet-friendly for those who want to bring a small companion animal.
Dining is handled by a professional chef who prepares three daily meals plus snacks, all served restaurant-style with table service. The kitchen accommodates low-sodium, no-sugar, and vegetarian requests, and an all-day dining menu is in place for residents who prefer flexible meal times. Guests can purchase meals to share with loved ones in the main dining room or in a private space reserved for family events.
Residents can stay active and social through an on-site activity center, library and computer lounge, and a swimming pool that complements both indoor and outdoor walking paths. Clubs and community groups meet regularly, and planned social outings extend engagement beyond the campus. Raised garden beds, karaoke sessions, happy hours, yoga and chair yoga classes, intergenerational programs, birthday parties, dances, and live music round out the calendar, giving residents multiple ways to stay mentally and physically engaged.
