I visited this facility I believed Orchard Ridge was independent living, but it had assisted facilities as needed. It was a high class or a high level place. I believe there were recreational activities, like the usual game rooms. It was a good facility, but the expenses involved were quite high.

I visited this facility The Legacy at North Augusta is a brand new community. It has been here about a year or so, and it is owned by the Lutheran Church of America. I thought they were supreme. Had it not been for the fact that they did not have any vacancies in a studio, or the smallest place available, I would have opted to select that particular one out of the three that I did visit. The staff is exceptionally outgoing. They were a tremendous help to me because I have had zero experience with assisted living. They even m... read more

I visited this facility Orchard Ridge opened in 2013, is very nice, and focuses on care in the apartment or detached home you purchase there. They also have a nursing home which they project will be certified for Medicaid in about a year and a half.

I visited this facility The Village at Orchard Ridge would have been a wonderful place for my parents. There were independent living cottages and assisted living in the main building. It was very beautiful. The staff was very helpful. The program sounds wonderful as well. There were quite a bit of potential activities because my father would have been very interested in quite a number of things, like chess or plants.

I am a friend or relative of resident My mother moved in to this community (independent living) over a year ago. We love it! I cannot say enough good things about this place. The full time admin staff are engaged, enthusiastic, and respectful. Very accommodating, too, to the many "hiccups" we've had with my mom. Of the 12 palces I researched and/or visited in this area, this was the best in terms of buy in price (low compared to all else), quality for what you pay (on par with places 3 times more expensive), and true indepen... read more

I visited this facility I do have friends that live at The Legacy. They did have lots of activities for them there. I have eaten there and food was excellent. Also their accommodations were great. The staff was on top of everything. They would go out of their way to know where everybody is. If my friend fell asleep or misses lunch, they'll make sure that she's okay. It's a good solid 4-star for this place; however, they didn't have memory care there.

I visited this facility The Village at Orchard Ridge is fairly new and it definitely would be a wonderful place. They have a lot of apartments and health care providers can come in and provide care. It is not for the average person because we're talking about a lot of money and you buy into it initially. They still had apartments in June but they were 95% sold out.

I am a friend or relative of a resident Mom was at The Village at Rockville and we liked their services very much. It's a brand new facility and we've just been very happy because my mother loves the food. She likes the care and the attention that she is getting.

I am a friend or relative of a resident I had a friend staying at National Lutheran Home for some months. It was clean. They had a lot of programs for the people and they have a chaplain there for them. They did a good job in terms of rehab but my friend really didn't need rehab that much. He had Alzheimer's and needed somebody around the clock with him. Their food was very good, with wide variety, well cooked and nutritious.
