Capstone Village sits on the campus of The University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa and offers a setting where residents can stay active, join campus events, and keep their minds engaged, so you get this place where older folks have walking paths, landscaped grounds, and plenty of spaces for sitting outside or gathering inside, and the place has three stories with a total of 130 independent living residences, 13 assisted living apartments, and 16 memory care studios. People can pick from 15 different floor plans, including one- and two-bedroom apartments, some with walk-in closets, full kitchens, balconies, private bathrooms, and in-unit washers and dryers, while studios are mainly for assisted living or memory care, and the rooms run from 784 up to 1,908 square feet, so there's good variety in living spaces. Residents can bring their pets, and each unit in the building has air conditioning, WiFi, cable TV, sprinkler systems, and emergency call systems, and there's controlled access for safety, wheelchair access, and customer parking.
The community gives a home-like feeling with lounges for chatting, dining rooms for restaurant-style meals, a beauty salon and barber shop, and common rooms for games and crafts, plus onsite housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance to keep things simple. Capstone Village has a big focus on health and wellness, so there's a fitness center, onsite classes like yoga and dance, and access across the street to the student recreation center, which includes a pool and more fitness options, and since it's right on the university campus, there are partnerships that let residents get OLLI memberships, attend classes, and use campus libraries, which keeps people's minds sharp and involved. Residents also get to join in campus life with book clubs, social outings, musical concerts, and health clinics with students, giving chances to volunteer or just enjoy events, and many people seem to like getting involved with University of Alabama athletics and cultural events.
The community gives independent living, assisted living, and memory care, so people can get more help if they need it, whether that's dressing, bathing, toileting, walking, or medication management, plus there's 24-hour nurse coverage and specialized memory care programs for those living with memory loss, Alzheimer's, or dementia. The health services reach up to nursing, wound care, medication support, occupational therapy, and podiatry, and Capstone Village accepts long-term care insurance. For social and daily needs, people have transportation for appointments or shopping, meals served three times a day, lots of clubs, activities, arts and crafts, and lifelong learning classes, which makes it easier to stay busy and connected. The place prides itself on creating a welcoming feeling where every resident belongs, whether folks want privacy or want to join in on programs with others, and living here means being able to enjoy sports, rich learning, and social chances linked closely to the university all in a place that looks out for people's comfort, safety, and independence.
