Capitol Ridge at Providence

As the Executive Director of this community, I couldn’t be more proud of the incredible team and the compassionate environment we’ve built together. Every day, I see our staff go above and beyond to ensure residents feel valued, respected, and truly at home. What makes this community special is the sense of family—residents, families, and team members all connected by genuine care and purpose. From our dedicated caregivers and dining team to our programming/engagement and nursing staff, everyone plays an important role in creating a warm, supportive atmosphere. It’s an honor to lead such a devoted group of professionals who believe deeply in our mission to enhance the lives of seniors through personalized, compassionate care. I’m grateful to witness the smiles, laughter, and meaningful moments that happen here each and every day.

I visit Capital Ridge monthly and instruct the residents in craft projects and paint parties. The facility is always a pleasure to visit. The residents are always happy to join my craft classes. That tells me they are living their best life because they are eager to try new things without any hesitation.They all get along and support each other , it’s a wonderful community!

Capitol Ridge was not the place for me. It is very expensive with independent and assisted living residents mixed which is fine except for the hospital-like feel and loud walkie-talkies in halls for people who need assistance. Med carts in halls and frequent ambulances did not help the atmosphere. Housekeeping and nursing staff entered my room w a master key and needed instructions and signs to not disturb. I was not in need of assistance with trash or checking on where my meds were kept. Maintenance was slow to say the least. The food was very good but the dining room sounded like a TB ward with constant coughing. When I gave my notice, managers and staff no longer talked to me except the receptionist, a hard-working activities director, and the chef. I felt that several independent residents should have been in memory care. Relationships were difficult. Facilities are quite elegant but perhaps unnecessary and over the top, especially when taken over for big givers only. Activities were well attended as were happy hours right before a very early dinner time. I paid for a fair amount of wine I did not consume. I went there too early for my age. I was too independent. My time there was stressful and I have not recovered from the expenses. I expected a bit of a different population. Not for me.

My Dad lived at Capital Ridge for about 8 years before passing away recently at 93. When he moved in he was driving, walking unassisted and it pretty good health. In the past couple of years his health gradually declined. We were always able to get just the right amount of care at Capitol Ridge for my Dad at all the different stages and as a family felt comfortable knowing he was happy and loved living there. My Dad loved everyone there from management, nursing staff, care givers, activity directors, the head chef, and maintenance staff. He made many friends enjoyed participating in all the great activities with them! I loved walking in the door to visit my Dad on a regular basis and the management team would know me by name and be able to tell me how my Dad was doing and recent activities he enjoyed. Capital Ridge is the perfect size assisted living community with lots of heart! My family and I really appreciate all they did for my Dad.
