Dietary Department

The Village at Legacy Pointe welcomes our new dietary supervisor, Scott Tangeman. Scott has arrived just in time for the holidays. We are very excited about him joining our team.

As the Christmas season approaches, many quests will be coming in and many residents will be going out. We recently began our Dining Committee for the residents in the A.L. and N.F. Our first meeting was mid November. The Committee has been going over the current menus with the intern dietitian to make changes that will appeal to you. You can look forward to seeing the new menus soon!

Classic Car Rolls in For Winter Display

Bud Karli from the Independent Living has loaned The Village his beautiful 1931 Ford Model A Roadster for display over the winter. Stop on by and see this wonderful piece of history.
