At Legato Living, we believe in creating a space where seniors feel connected, valued, and genuinely cared for. At the heart of this mission is Kelsie Slobotski, someone who has always had an extraordinary bond with the older generation and a heartfelt passion for senior care. Join us as we introduce the person behind Legato Living at Rockbrook and the deeply personal story that inspired their vision for this community.
A Lifelong Connection to Seniors
For as long as Kelsie can remember, the owner of Legato Living at Rockbrook has felt a special connection with the older generation. Growing up, weekends were often spent at the Moose Lodge, surrounded by grandparents and their friends. Over countless Saturday nights, they listened to fascinating stories filled with wisdom, humor, and life lessons – all while sipping on one too many Shirley Temples. These moments planted the first seeds of admiration and respect for the life experiences of seniors.
But as life went on, this connection deepened through more bittersweet experiences. When their Grandma Lois was diagnosed with dementia in high school, they witnessed firsthand the realities of senior care. Visiting her in the nursing home left a lasting impression. Each visit was followed by the painful feeling of leaving her alone in her room, knowing deep down that she deserved more than just care – she deserved company, compassion, and connection.
Several years later, another heartfelt conversation left an indelible mark. Before passing away, their Grandma Margie shared a thought that still resonates deeply today:
“When you grow older, people only see you as ‘old’ and forget about the life you’ve lived and the accomplishments you’ve had.”
This powerful statement ignited a drive to create a space where seniors are not only cared for but celebrated for who they are and the lives they’ve lived.
The Vision Behind Legato Living at Rockbrook
When it came time to start a business, the Legato Living model immediately stood out as the perfect fit. Legato Living is designed to offer something so many seniors and their families long for – a home-like atmosphere with smaller staff-to-resident ratios, making it possible to build meaningful relationships. For Kelsie, opening Legato Living at Rockbrook isn’t just a business decision; it’s a deeply personal mission to honor the memory of their beloved grandmothers, Grandma Lois and Grandma Margie.
At Legato Living, the goal is to create an environment where residents feel connected, supported, and empowered to enjoy life’s moments, big and small. It’s about more than just providing care; it’s about building a place where each resident feels like family and can live in comfort, surrounded by compassion.
A Family-Oriented Approach
One of the core principles of Legato Living at Rockbrook is that families aren’t just choosing a care facility – they’re gaining an extended family. Every resident’s story, achievements, and individuality are honored here. The staff takes pride in forming close bonds with each person, from learning their favorite morning drink to being a listening ear when they want to share stories from years gone by.
The smaller staff-to-resident ratios are key to fostering these connections. With more time and attention devoted to each individual, residents feel truly known and valued. This intimate environment allows Legato Living to serve not just physical health but emotional well-being, crafting an atmosphere full of respect, dignity, and genuine care.
A Message to Families
“When families choose Legato Living at Rockbrook, I want them to know that we consider ourselves family,” the owner shares. “We’re passionate about being a meaningful part of this chapter in each resident’s life. Our goal is to go beyond care and create a space where residents feel cherished, understood, and surrounded by people who genuinely care.”
Every detail of Legato Living at Rockbrook is designed with this mission in mind. From the warm, welcoming spaces to the dedicated staff that feels like extended family, everything is focused on fostering a sense of belonging for every resident.
Moving Forward with Compassion
The opening of Legato Living at Rockbrook marks the continuation of a dream born out of love for family and a drive to ensure that seniors have a place they can truly call home. The foundation of this vision is built on heartwarming memories, personal connections, and the belief that every senior deserves to feel valued, respected, and celebrated for the life they’ve lived.
Legato Living at Rockbrook is more than a senior living community – it’s a tribute to the experiences, wisdom, and legacies of the older generation. It’s a compassionate place where care meets connection and every resident feels like an essential part of the family.
