Capital Ridge assisted living is pretty Pricey, however, worth every Penny when it comes to my family members, I have a Cousin there whom I love dearly. This has been her new address since July 2025. We went over to Visit Capitol Ridge The staff took us on a tour of the place. We both was very excited to learn just how the residents were living. They were not only kind. They were very down to earth and you could tell that they were not just there for the paycheck. They enjoyed what they did for a living is looking after the people my cousin and I couldn’t have chose a better place this is it!😊 5 Stars every step of the way⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
