What to Expect from Our Schertz Senior Living Community

Our assisted living and memory care community is located in the peaceful city of Schertz, just minutes away from nearby attractions. Residents thrive here, surrounded by a welcoming atmosphere perfect for pursuing hobbies and making lifelong friends.

Community residents enjoy participating in line dancing, baking clubs, and competitive card games in our spacious lounges. They also spend relaxing afternoons in the library or the on-site salon. We offer the same engaging activities as other retirement communities in Texas but with added support services tailored to individual needs.

Families See the Difference Between Us and Nursing Homes in Schertz, Texas

We are completely happy and satisfied with The Legacy, and I’ve already recommended them to others. We tried them out as a respite experience, and that was wonderful. We were so happy we went permanent. The care has been great. Recently, we were able to reserve a dining area for a few hours to have a family celebration, and it was all very nice. I’m very happy with everything here.”

Meet The Legacy at Forest Ridge
Resident Ambassador

“I love everything at The Legacy at Forest Ridge. There is a family feeling here I just couldn’t ignore. I felt like I would never leave my own family but would be gaining a new one once I moved. The food was out of sight and so was the congeniality.

All in all, the care is impeccable! I’d ask a friend to move here because I want to share my good fortunes, and this is where I love and live.”

Christine

Resident

I’m Scott,

the Executive Director, and I have been serving seniors since 1991.

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY and spent many years living in Fort Lauderdale, FL. I attended the “U” (University of Miami) for undergraduate studies and then received my master’s degree in health services administration from Nova Southeastern University.

I am married to my wonderful wife (who I first met in high school), and after 3 children and 3 grandchildren, we are still together after 29 years! I enjoy time with my family, playing golf, tinkering around on my guitar, and doing “honey-do-lists!”

I began my healthcare career/journey as a licensed nursing home administrator 33 years ago doing what I felt was my “calling” and what I was being led to do by a higher authority… taking care of our elders. I’m glad I listened! My passion and compassion for our residents, staff, and this industry is still burning as bright as it was the day I began my career. I have always said, “Our residents have worked hard, made sacrifices, and helped create a better world for me, my family, friends, associates, and the rest of our nation… they deserve and will receive the best care and services from our team, bar none… this will not be compromised.”

I look forward to getting to know you and your family at The Farrington!

Regards,
Scott Perlman
