12/07/2013 An Interested Visitor Writes: Muir Senior Care has changed it's Name to Legacy Nursing and Rehabilitation. The facility itself is clean and well maintained. Built in the 1960's, the building is a sprawling one-story,with a nice flower bed at the entrance, and a large field, my guess, about a quarter acre in size, in back of the building. There is parking out in front of the building. Recreational activities are geared more for individuals with mental and or physical disabilities. My suggestion is to bring a laptop or I-pad if moving in. There are TV sets in the rooms, but one must sign up and pay for service cable service separately, it is not included in monthly payment. The Nursing staff is uneven. Some of the nurses are outstanding, some ho-hum. Over all care is adequate. Food is nutritious but not inspiring. There is no dedicated dining hall. Meals are served in the recreation room and also in a small room that can hold 20 people tops. One can also have meals brought to one's room. Rooms are large and kept clean and tidy. Most rooms are for three persons. You are encouraged to bring your own belongings and personalize your area. One draw back to this facility is that it is in the hills, and there is no place to go and shop or sit and have coffee.
