National Church Residences acquired Legacy Village on February 1, 2011, a 48-acre retirementmunity in Xenia, Ohio, for $5.1 million. Legacy Village is comprised of 36 patio-style duplex and single-family homes, as well as a 34-unit assisted living center and memory care unit. As the new owner and operator, National Church Residences plans call for the eventual expansion of Legacy Village’s independent living component and addition of a $3.25 Million Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Facility. Legacy Village is located on the 253-acre Legacy Center Campus, which is home to various service-oriented organizations, including Athletes in Action and Xenia Christian School. The campus dates back to 1869, when it was known as the Ohio Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Orphans Home, which provided housing for orphans of Civil War veterans.

The "Home" was commissioned by Abraham Lincoln, and was a self-contained community with a farm, dairy barn, hospital, power/heating plant, gymnasium, banquet hall, chapel, and residence halls. Lincoln challenged the states to bind up the wounds of the Civil War by meeting the needs of widows and orphans created by the conflict. Ohio members of the Grand Army of the Republic took up that challenge, and, through a donation of 100 acres by a Xenia farmer, created the Ohio Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home.
