A community devoted to seniors
living with Alzheimer’s disease and
other forms of dementia.

Welcome to The Legacy: Memory Support, where we support your loved one with memory-related care.

From daily routines to special moments, we provide compassionate support every step of the way, ensuring peace of mind for you and your family.

OUR UNIQUE PHILOSOPHY

Introducing Life Unrehearsed™

At The Legacy, our services are driven by Life Unrehearsed™, a unique philosophy that integrates compassionate care with flexible methods to promote seniors’ daily success and positive interactions. Centered on individual histories, preferences, and needs, this approach ensures comfort and effective communication.

Discover how our holistic approach supports seniors with memory care challenges and explore our Life Unrehearsed™ booklet, a popular resource among caregiving communities throughout Illinois.

What does the Life Unrehearsed™
philosophy mean in daily life?

At The Legacy, our Life Unrehearsed™ philosophy creates a nurturing environment where your loved ones can thrive daily through meaningful activities. Mornings might start with mental workouts like puzzles or memory games, followed by physical activities such as guided walks, dancing, yoga, or group exercises to maintain physical health. Personalized programs incorporate residents’ interests, such as gardening, cooking classes, or art projects, fostering a sense of  accomplishment and belonging.

For instance, a former teacher might lead a storytelling session, or a gardening enthusiast might help tend to our community garden. These activities not only stimulate the mind but also foster a sense of belonging and accomplishment.

Personal Memory Care Stories

“My Dad always praises the “girls” that come in and help him with bathing, laundry, housekeeping, etc. The place is so clean and I can’t imagine him living anywhere else. Thank you to the whole Evergreen staff!”

“Beautiful Home. We feel blessed for our Grandmother to have found a safe place to live.”

Loved one of resident

“Although more than 700 miles away, I have had phone and or email exchanges with Chillicothe’s Evergreen staff. That staff has been very helpful and deserve commendation. ”

OUR MEMORY CARE APARTMENTS

Private and Comfortable
Living Spaces

At The Legacy, we offer a stand-alone cottage featuring two households with 10 private apartments on the first floor, designed to provide a comfortable and personalized living experience for your loved one. Each apartment includes a kitchenette, spacious bathroom, individual HVAC for personalized comfort, and large
windows that flood the space with natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

We believe in simplicity and flexibility, making the transition as smooth as possible for you and your family. There are no entrance fees, maintenance fees, or long-term commitments. Instead of buy-ins, a deposit secures your preferred apartment and is applied to the first month’s rent, ensuring a hassle-free move-in process.
