Megan Wagner

OT Student, Nova Southeastern University

“My fieldwork experience with Legacy Healthcare was better than I could have asked for. My clinical educator provided enough support that I felt confident to complete treatment sessions and work with patients, but enough independence that I could plan the activities I thought would be best suited for the clients. The skills and knowledge I gained during my fieldwork rotation prepared me very well for my work as an OT in skilled nursing and outpatient therapy.”

Jamie Spangler

OT Student, Nova Southeastern University

“Completing my level 1 fieldwork with Legacy Healthcare has been a wonderful learning experience and Gabby was so great to work with. I enjoyed this setting more than I thought I would, and I am now thinking of working in memory care when I graduate! I feel that this entire therapy team works really well together and has helped challenge my knowledge and allowed me to practice what I’ve learned in school. If I could, I would come back in a heartbeat to learn more!”

Brooklynn Joseph

SLP Student, Baylor University

“My internship at Legacy at McKinney has been an amazing experience. As a speech-language pathology student, I have had the opportunity to work with residents in assisted living and memory care, focusing on cognitive communication and swallowing therapy. It has been eye-opening to see how speech therapy fits into the bigger picture of care, primarily through observation and collaboration with OT and PT. In just a short time, I have learned so much, not just about therapy but also about building connections and making a meaningful impact in residents’ daily lives. I am incredibly grateful for the mentorship and hands-on learning opportunities that I have had here. The fantastic team at this location has deepened my appreciation for working with older adults and truly makes Legacy Healthcare Services a great place to be.”

Kira Mucci

PTA Student, Kent State University

“I had an amazing clinical with the whole Legacy team. Natalie was a wonderful clinical instructor; she helped me to continually expand my knowledge. Natalie was patient when teaching me and provided great feedback to my performance. The Legacy team was very kind and helpful in my clinical rotation. I am very grateful to have been a student here, it was an amazing learning experience”
