Legend at Capital Ridge gives seniors a place to feel comfortable by offering both assisted living and independent living options all under one roof, and folks get a real sense that their independence matters here because staff go out of their way to preserve that, supporting people only as much as they need, whether it's a little help with bathing, getting dressed, keeping track of medicine, or just having someone around for company, and for those living with Alzheimer's or other memory challenges there's a memory care area designed to reduce confusion and help people feel safe, with staff who go through special training for this kind of care. The building is a single story so no one needs to bother with stairs, and there are bright windows and natural light, indoor walking paths if anyone likes to stretch their legs without heading outside, and a garden courtyard with nice landscaping that'll make it easy to get some fresh air. Residents can pick a private suite for their own space, and there are plenty of common areas like a private movie theater, a bistro with coffee and snacks, a beauty salon for grooming or pampering, and a quiet post office area. Meals come three times a day in the dining room, with chefs using good ingredients, and those with special diets get meals made just for them through the Gold Leaf Dining program, and the facility also accommodates people needing kosher meals or other religious-based dietary needs. Social life gets a boost with a full calendar, featuring everything from crafts, workshops, special events like holiday dinners, outings, and even religious services on-site or off-site, so there are chances to connect or keep busy if someone feels like it, and for people who just want a chat or company, companions provide personal support. For safer movement, hallways and flooring use non-glare lighting and low-pile carpet, and everything's wheelchair accessible, with showers and tubs that make it easier for those with limited mobility. For those who need it, hospice support is available, and the place welcomes pets if someone's got a furry friend. There's free transportation, parking for those who still drive, and internet for staying connected. Legend at Capital Ridge keeps up with licensing requirements and gets reviewed twice a year for quality and safety, so families can feel more at ease. People can come for short stays, too, like respite care if caregivers are out of town. All together, it's a place focused on respect, choice, and supporting each person in living the best they can right where they are.

Caring, attentive senior living recommended
I moved my mom to Legend and I'm very pleased: the staff are kind, attentive and go the extra mile, her apartment feels safe, homey and well-maintained, dining is restaurant-style and activities/memory-care are strong. Residents seem happy and families are welcomed. Drawbacks: occasional staffing turnover, communication lapses, some smaller rooms and a higher price. Overall I highly recommend for caring, attentive senior living.
