They completed the entire redo in six days and unveiled it on July 20. Legacy Counseling Center, now known as Legacy Cares, opened Legacy Founders Cottage in 1996 as a hospice for people with AIDS.
As new medications became available that allowed people to live with HIV, the cottage became more of a respite facility. And by 2006, the cottage was doing more respite care than hospice work.
Brooke Henderson ran the cottage for 10 years and is now executive director of Legacy Cares. She said PSSA got involved when members of the teams were volunteering at the facility, doing work gardening around the house.
