Grand Opening of New Apartment Homes and Cottages at Legacy Village

XENIA, Ohio ­– National Church Residences opens the doors on a new midrise building featuring 51 independent living apartments at its Legacy Village retirement community, situated on a 48-acre sprawling campus in Xenia, Ohio. The new complex with a modern design features a bistro with adjacent dining, a large gathering space with a grand fireplace, fitness center, courtyard and a private terrace or patio with views of the beautiful campus and community garden.

“At National Church Residences, our vision is to Advance better living for all seniors, enabling them to remain home for life,” said Matt Rule, senior vice president of development and construction. “Those who tour the Legacy Village campus will see firsthand what this beautiful and historic community has to offer seniors who want a fulfilling, healthy lifestyle.”

Nearly $18 million was invested in the expansion of this campus to better serve seniors who desire to still live independently, without the associated burden and stress of maintaining a household. Legacy Village offers a variety of one- and two-bedroom independent living apartments, as well as 55 single-floor patio homes, including 15 newly constructed homes and a healthcare center with 52 apartments for assisted living and memory care. Residents who move into the new apartment homes yet this spring will receive a move-in assistance package up to $1,000 and a $500 grocery store gift card, plus home-delivered meals for a limited time.

A monthly bistro credit and breakfast are included in the monthly rent, as well as maintenance-free living with staff available 24 hours a day – seven days a week.

National Church Residences is dedicated to closing the digital divide among seniors by providing free Wi-Fi service throughout the new apartment building. In addition, new residents receive a smart tablet to serve as a communications tool for scheduling work orders, communicating with campus staff and to utilize in an emergency situation. Emergency pendants also are provided to residents.

Many of the 15 new patio homes have been completed and are move-in ready. The homes still under construction will be completed in June and they can be reserved now. Residents moving into the patio homes also receive move-in assistance up to $1,000 and a $500 grocery store gift card.

Rule added that National Church Residences would like to recognize its partners and thank them for their support and dedication to this project including: architect MKM Design, Ruscilli Construction Company, Huntington Bank, the City of Xenia and Greene County.

The legacy of good work on the campus dates back to 1869, when the Ohio Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Orphans Home was established to serve children of who lost their father in the Civil War. In 1978, the home’s name was changed to the Ohio Veterans’ Children’s Home and in 1996 the last graduating class received their high school diplomas. In 2009, Legacy Village Retirement Center was built on a portion of the 253 acre campus. National Church Residences assumed ownership of the senior community in January 2011.
