Legacy Retirement Communities (legacyretirement.com) is dedicated to redefining the aging experience by creating exceptional senior living environments where every detail is thoughtfully designed with care, purpose, and heart.
First opening our door in 1995, Legacy offers a full continuum of care—including independent living, assisted living, and memory care—within state-of-the-art communities that feel like home. Our story began with a son’s dream to create the perfect place for his mother, and that legacy continues as we enrich the lives of every resident we serve.
We’ll be celebrating 30 years of Legacy Retirement Communities this November.
What truly sets Legacy Retirement Communities apart—and has caused us to be voted “Best of Lincoln” for 26 years in a row—is the philosophy that guides every decision we make: everything must be “Good enough for Mom.” That heartfelt standard is at the core of our identity. Make sure you choose a space that is special enough for the most special person in your life.
From our intentionally designed spaces to the compassionate people who bring our communities to life, we pursue excellence in every detail. We’re not just providing a place to live—we’re creating vibrant, engaging environments where residents feel inspired, connected, and genuinely cared for.
We offer independent living for those loved ones seeking a maintenance free lifestyle, assisted living aided by licensed nurses and assistants, and memory care to work with the complexities of Alzheimer’s and dementia.
With a multitude of services and shops for residents, there is a place or person to care for everything your loved ones need. Barber shops, pub lounges, yoga classes, ice cream shops, and cozy sunrooms are included in the Legacy communities.
Legacy includes farm-to-table approach for dining services allowing the highest quality ingredients to nourish our residents for every meal of the day. We also provide work out programs focused on low impact movements, balance training, mobility increasing, or whatever goals you may have.
Beyond meeting basic needs, a thriving retirement home fosters a sense of community and belonging, encouraging mental, emotional, and physical health.
Our mission is to enrich the lives of each person in our community by continuing the Legacy and pursuit of excellence established by our founder, Jerry Joyce. We believe in improving the way we age and how we perceive aging—infusing each day with dignity, joy, and purpose.
Our philosophy is grounded in the values of family, compassion, integrity, community, and quality, with a focus on building welcoming environments that feel like home for both residents and staff.
