ABOUT US

At Legacy House of Southern Hills, we believe that the more our senior living residents can be independent, the healthier they are and the better they feel. Of course, there comes a time when we all could use a helping hand, even for the most basic daily activities like dressing, bathing, grooming, or taking medications. Our job is to recognize those times and provide just the right amount of help to meet those needs. Following a "personal touch" philosophy, we take the time to get to know our guests and residents and always look for ways to provide care beyond what is expected. We are guided by six core values: Be loving. Choose wisely. Perform together. Act boldly. Express gratitude. Mind the store. We believe that the more independent our assisted living residents are, the happier and healthier they feel. We trust only the most qualified, dependable, dedicated, and trustworthy individuals with the care of our clients.

We strive to take good care of our staff. There really is a sense of family with the residents and co-workers here. If you're looking to work with a supportive, happy, and fun team, look no further!
