Overview of The Legacy at South Plains

Offering assisted living, memory care, and respite care, The Legacy at South Plains is a senior living community in the Indiana Avenue neighborhood of Lubbock, Texas. The 110-bed community includes 30 dedicated memory care units. It has been serving the Lubbock area for 9 years. Lasp Tenant LLC operates the community, and Melanie Bolen-Klemer serves as the administrator.

Residents receive 24-hour on-site care, including medication management and assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing and dressing. The community’s Connections program supports residents living with dementia, Parkinson’s disease, and other cognitive impairments through a personalized approach designed to promote comfort and engagement. The Legacy at South Plains also holds an Alzheimer’s certification, reflecting its commitment to specialized memory care.

Chef-prepared meals are tailored to residents’ individual preferences instead of following a single standard menu. Weekly housekeeping is included. Residents can spend more time enjoying leisure activities and scheduled outings. The community also welcomes pets, giving residents the opportunity to keep a companion animal after moving in.

The community is about 6.3 miles from downtown Lubbock. The area has a Walk Score of 33 out of 100, which is somewhat walkable. A handful of nearby errands can be completed on foot, but most trips require a vehicle. Families considering memory care should ask how the Connections program runs daily.

State inspections conducted by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission have reviewed the community’s fire safety systems and emergency preparedness planning. Findings focused on areas such as fire drills and alarm maintenance rather than resident care. The identified issues were corrected within the following month.
