They have great communication and think about situations like a family member does. My mom walks all the time, like 6-10miles a day and they told me they were watching her calorie intake and gives her snacks because she burns so much. We were worried about the same thing and they brought it to me and already had a solution for it before I had a chance to bring it up. That really made me confident in their care.

Our Experience
My loved one is currently a resident at The Legacy of DeForest and the overall experience at this facility has been pretty good for us. The cleanliness and the care services are good. The friendliness and the staff are okay. However, the meals are terrible.

The Legacy has a Heart
The Legacy at DeForest community went over and above for us. We didn't have the funds they needed and I got a call that the owner wanted to help us and opened their doors to both of my parents...Based on the experience we have had so far with The Legacy of DeForest, we would absolutely recommend them to other families.

Nice Place
They have a staffing issue. They can't find enough people to run the place and are shorthanded, which is the only reason they're not getting a perfect rating. That, and the food is terrible. But other than that, I really like the place. The people that are there are nice and friendly, and it's a nice place.

They made promises and they didn't go through with it. So we did not place our loved one here due to this.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Wisconsin regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Wisconsin regulations for Assisted Living.

Frequently Asked Questions
about The Legacy of DeForest

The Legacy of DeForest offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored The Legacy of DeForest 8.6 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
