Tons of Varied Activities

It's expensive but it's a pretty good value. I'd highly recommend that place. It's excellent! They take a personal interest, it seems, in all the residents there. Everyweek they have a new activities calender. On a regular basis, almost every night it seems, they have movies. People come in every week - they've had comedians, musicians, they had a cellist. They have field trips to the beach or the shore rather. Every week is chock full of activities of varied kinds for varied interests. My parents weren't keen on moving into a place like that and even they have to admit that it's excellent. They feel like they're being very well taken care of.

Nice, but not the best location for us

I thought that Middlebrook was a very good place, their directors were nice that we spoke to, their caretakers seemed to be nice. Only one of my brother would have been really close to her so the rest of us would have had to drive a bit longer. I'm the main caregiver for my mom so driving out to Trumbull would have been inconvinient. It was also a little bit more expensive than the other place we were looking at but I liked their food (my mom didn't) and it seemed like a nice place.

Spotless and highly recommended

We chose this community because it was in close proximity to family so it made it convenient. Capitol Ridge came to us very highly recommends and we can see why. They allow residents to bring pets during the day while she is there. Actually received a phone call for our loved one the other day and without asking any question she just wanted to tell us that she was happy there, which was worth a million dollars on its own. We are very pleased and would highly recommend Capitol Ridge to anyone.

I thought Plymouth Crossings was very nice. I really liked it because it is much smaller, very clean, alot of staff with the amount of patients. The location is great. And the staff knows everyone by name only 19 residents on the memory care side and total max of 50 on assisted living, 70 staff members, really cater to each residents individual likes and dislikes weather gardening, interior design for Mom or whatever. Very willing to have people help out. Met a guy that takes out the trash daily in the dining room because he likes to, another that sets the tables, another that does all the floral arrangements on the tables etc....
