Capital Place Retirement Community sits at the base of the Black Hills and Capital Forest, giving folks pretty views and lots of natural beauty all year round, and the community's open and cheerful atmosphere fits the setting well, where people gather in cozy common spaces or stroll the landscaped grounds with paved walkways, green lawns, a gazebo, and a swimming pool. The facility offers 113 clean and well-kept apartments, with floor plans including studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units, and some options feature plush carpeting, cozy fireplaces, high ceilings with big windows that let in plenty of sunlight, full kitchens, and private baths with features like walk-in tubs, safety rails, and modern fixtures. Folks who need more space or special features can pick cottages or apartments with hardwood floors or barrier-free layouts for wheelchair use, and everyone has choices like individual climate control, telephone hookups, or private patios and balconies.
Residents can bring their pets, and both cats and dogs are allowed, which is nice for folks used to having animals around, and the place stays comfortable for everyone thanks to wheelchair accessibility, modern safety equipment like smoke alarms, sprinkler systems, and emergency response pendants. Meals come three times a day, cooked by chefs, with beginner-friendly, healthy choices in either the main dining room-overlooking the Black Hills-a private dining room, or the bistro area, and folks can make snacks in their own kitchens or the resident kitchen. Housekeeping, maintenance, and linen service happen regularly, and laundry facilities are easy to find on every floor.
Capital Place is a pet-friendly, smoke-free community with an emphasis on comfort and value. Program and amenity options seem endless, from billiard games in the lounge and exercise classes-like tai chi or chair yoga-in the fitness room to bean bag baseball, Wii bowling, ceramics painting, happy hour socials, and group outings. The Engage Life program keeps a steady flow of activities, including book clubs, movie nights in the theater room, live performances, and wellness events, and the robust activity calendar encourages everyone to participate as much or as little as they want. The onsite library, computer center, business area, and WiFi in common areas support hobbies and daily needs, while cable and satellite TV in the big lounge means there's always entertainment. Residents can use scheduled door-to-door transportation for shopping, medical appointments, or trips into town, though those with their own cars can use either regular parking or covered spots.
Capital Place covers a full range of senior living options, making it easier to age in place, which means folks can move between independent living, assisted living, and nursing or memory care right on campus if their health changes, and the trained staff-including the Executive Director, Health Services Director, and Life Enrichment Director-help folks feel comfortable, safe, and right at home. The facility operates as a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), and there's always 24-hour staff available for anything from emergency help to medication reminders or personal care like bathing and getting dressed, plus residents can hire outside healthcare and support services if they want. Specialized Alzheimer's and memory care units, usually in a secure wing, serve people with cognitive needs, providing supervision and activities that focus on safety and comfort, with extra security like locked doors to prevent wandering. Short-term stays and respite care let family caregivers take breaks or help folks recovering from a hospital stay, and these are available for both assisted living and nursing home residents.
Capital Place's unique travel program lets residents visit over 300 sister communities for up to seven nights at no extra charge, and guests get a complimentary room and meals, making it easier for folks to travel or visit family. Staff take care of move-in with the EZ Move Program, working with Seniors Need, and offer concierge services for pet walking, taxis, or local information. The grounds feature nice spots for walking, sitting, or gardening, while the indoor areas hold spaces like the TV lounge, activity room, library, game room, and salon or barber shop for a bit of pampering.
Capital Place has flexible month-to-month leases, utilities included in one bill except personal phone, and an all-inclusive living plan starting at about $3,200, which covers meals, housekeeping, linen service, transportation, emergency response systems like Lively Mobile Plus, regular events, and more. The business has been around since 1971 under Holiday Retirement, keeps up with state licensing standards, and has a steady reputation with a 4.3 review score from 34 reviews. Folks get plenty of chances to connect, relax, stay healthy, and enjoy maintenance-free living in a safe, social environment designed for the needs of seniors 55 and older.
