The Legacy of Anderson

Independent living is the only level of care offered at The Legacy of Anderson, a community operated by Charter Senior Living at 3501 N. Hwy 81 in Anderson, SC. That makes it a fit for an adult who manages their own day and wants to hand off the house, the yard and the cooking. It has also been listed simply as The Legacy of Anderson in some records.

The community's design centers on carefree independent living rather than daily care. Residents keep their own apartment while restaurant-style dining, covering 3 meals a day plus snacks, and a private dining room handle meal preparation. A salon and barber shop, a library and a movie theater fill out life on site, along with a fitness center for residents who want to stay active.

Scenic walking paths and landscaped grounds give residents somewhere to go outside without leaving the property, and a full calendar of daily activities and social events keeps the schedule from going quiet. High-speed internet is available throughout. Because The Legacy of Anderson offers only independent living, a family should ask what happens if a resident later needs daily help with bathing, dressing or medication, and whether outside home care is allowed in the apartments.

Families comparing independent living communities often ask how long the current on-site team has been in place, since turnover affects day-to-day consistency. Getting a written list of what the monthly rate includes also helps with that comparison. Families can look at senior living in Anderson to see other options in the area.
