Review for Capitol Ridge Gracious Retirement Living

Capital Ridge occupies the high, but not ultra-wealthy, end of their commercial niche. It's generally a well-run operation, marred by frequent staff turnover. Meal quality is good enough most of the time, occasionally breaking out into excellent. Despicable frozen pizza is occasionally served. Accommodations for individual preferences are cheerfully made. It bugs me that when Covid sweeps through Capital Ridge, as it has done often, no safety precautions to protect residents are implemented. Open communal dining continues. It even continued when the director himself became ill with Covid. Capital Ridge does not seem to acknowledge any responsibility for Covid safety precautions, even when staff and residents are clearly passing the virus. Provision for smokers are sparse. Smokers may indulge only outdoors at designated spots which are fully exposed to the elements. Since arriving a little over a year ago, Capital Ridge jumped up my rent substantially. Staff has been helpful and friendly during my time at Capital Ridge. Apartments are small but comfortable, suitable for elderly residents seeking an easier-to-manage lifestyle. Pets are permitted for additional fees. My neighbors have dogs. None have disturbed my peace. The sound insulation in apartments is well above average. There are three floors of apartments, about 150 units in total, but only one tiny elevator. Upper floor apartments should not be recommended for residents who cannot use stairwells. Overall I grade Capital Ridge as a comfortable and suitable place of residence for elderly people who can afford it, who do not require more intensive care, such as that provided by assisted living facilities or nursing homes. I do not regret moving to Capital Ridge in the slightest - though I endure exposure to the elements in all seasons to indulge my cigar habit. Some protection from rain and sun would be welcome, though.

Capital Ridge Gracious Retirement Living review

Quality of care -being the it is independent living there is no care or communication with the families. Capitol Ridge was just hard on my loved one. I had asked them several times if they could introduce him to another guy with a bird watching fascination and it just never happened. They were not as friendly once he moved in.

The meals are very good. The move in process was great! It is an independent living facility, so independence is expected.

Definitely recommended

The move in process was great - they have tall carts with wheels that are very helpful. The meals are very good - restaurant quality. Communication with the family is good as well. My dad fell once and I received a call as soon as they got him settled. The staff are truly awesome. Very welcoming and helpful. Housekeeping is also good. They come every week to clean my dad's place and are very nice and thorough. I would definitely recommend the facility to family and friends.

The cruise ship that never leaves the port

There are many opportunities to stay busy if one chooses to do so. The maintenance man was extremely helpful getting pictures hung and TV mounted so she settled immediately and it felt like home. He was also very timely in giving attention to items that needed repairs. They have a separate family dining room that seats 12. We were able to reserve it for a family gathering at no charge and it was perfect to contain little ones and made us feel as if we were in someone's home.

A friendly, safe environment

My mom moved to Capital Ridge Gracious Retirement Living recently and is still getting used to her new life there. What I've noticed is how helpful and friendly everyone is, in particular the staff. Any time I've had to call for assistance they've been more than happy to help. The restaurant is lovely where they promote socialization with residents. The food is good quality comfort foods. I've enjoyed my meals there with mom. They have entertainment there, but mom hasn't attended much of those yet. They also have two companies that can offer additional services. Additionally they offer great PT and OT on site. I would recommend Capital Ridge to anyone who wants to find a friendly, safe environment for their parents.

Happy with our choice

We visited Capitol Ridge and I immediately fell in love. Everyone is super friendly and the staff know the residents and their family by name. My dad ad an emergency and they called me right away and were very good about staying with him before the ambulance came even though it is independent living. The apartment sizes are great, he has a 1 bedroom and it is perfect size for him. They have a lot of closet space. We have recommended it to a few people and they have moved in.

Our Stay at the Capitol Ridge

My husband [name removed] and I stayed for 3 days and 2 nights in a one bedroom apartment at Capitol Ridge. The Staff went over and beyond to welcome us there. We were also pleasantly surprised to see how much extra space is available for all residents such as a library, television room, billiard room and even a movie theater. On one afternoon we attended an informational happy hour in the spacious activity room and on another afternoon a July birthday party which was followed by the magnificent performance of an Irish dance group. Meals are not only a culinary delight but also provide opportunity to socialize with the residents. Needless to say that we miss this wonderful place but it is good to know that a place like Capitol Ridge might be available for us to live there when we will have to downsize.

A Safe, Caring, Fun, Clean Environment

This is a brand new community that is clean and beautiful. I would highly recommend the community to others for their loved ones. They have a positive culture here. The staff is caring and friendly. They have a lot of family get togethers once a month for all the residents. They have a lot of activities available for the residents to participate in. The apartments have different layouts. There are communal laundry rooms in the buildings for the residents to use.
