Capitol Ridge is truly a special place. The managers are absolutely amazing and go above and beyond to make sure residents, staff, and guests feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. Their dedication and leadership create such a positive atmosphere throughout the entire community.<br><br>All the staff is incredibly kind, caring, and hardworking. Everyone works together as a team, and you can genuinely feel the sense of family the moment you walk through the doors. There are always smiling faces, amazing food, warm hearts, and a welcoming environment that makes Capitol Ridge feel like a second home.<br><br>You can tell the people here truly care about one another, and that makes all the difference. Highly recommend!

I have lived here for about a year. Overall the experience has been positive. With that said, the food has become progressively worse. The “executive chef” has no clue. The menu aside, the quality of the food is consistently substandard. Meals are routinely served lukewarm or cold. Should be an easy fix, but apparently not. French fries as an example are normally cold and soggy. Despite numerous complaints and discussions, no change. Even discussed with your regional chef, that was a waste of energy.
