Senior Living Communities in Schertz, Texas Make Your Family Feel Like Our Family
Hello, I'm Sonya Garcia,
the Executive Director at The Legacy at Forest Ridge.
With a rich background of over 25 years in leadership, primarily in the hospitality industry, I bring a unique perspective to senior care.
I embarked on this rewarding journey at The Legacy at Forest Ridge nearly three years ago. I’ve had the privilege of leading a dedicated team committed to delivering outstanding support and care to our residents. My passion for serving older adults runs deep, and I often reflect on how fulfilling this path has been.
I believe in fully embracing life and all its opportunities, and I am profoundly grateful for each moment. At The Legacy at Forest Ridge, I encourage a community where residents feel valued and cherished, surrounded by warmth and camaraderie.

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.”
