Review for Legend at Capital Ridge

It stood out that the facility was calm. There was activity and there were people out and about, but it wasn't loud or crowded. The decor was updated and the place was clean. Some issues we have noticed are with staffing. Sometimes they just don't have enough workers.

Our family's experience

Our experience was poor in most every thing. Walked into their apt and it smelled of urine. [name removed] was laying in a wet bed , wet clothing. Laundry wasn't done as we had been told it would be, went at supper time and she wasn't eating and she said she didn't like it. I ask someone with a badge that said food on it if she could have something else and they said the other offering was salad and she could not have that because of swallowing and I said so is she just supposed to go to bed hungry and they finally said that they could get a grilled cheese sandwich and she said [name removed] said she would eat that it took 4045 minutes for it to come out by that time they had passed out cookies and she ate cookies and wasn't hungry anymore. Then there was also changing in staff two and three times in the short time that we were there so we couldn't get any support from them because we didn't know who to even ask most the time. Just a very unpleasant experience.

Do not recommend

Administration, nursing and care staff changed. Communication was never great but fell apart. Thef left mom in her bed all day long and I went in many times to find her stool unflushed and bathroom messy. Her hair not washed. At times I found bed soiled but this was hit and miss. I'd never put her there now.

Worth a Try

The facility itself is lovely; beautifully decorated . Smells clean . [name removed] room was kept clean and his laundry was done in a timely way. There were special events with families .,I attended a "make your own charcuterie board" class with [name removed] which was fun! Special holiday buffets for Easter and Mothers Day. There was even a bunny present for pictures at Easter. The other residents were lovely and [name removed] enjoyed meals with them . I ate with him fairly often. The staff was mixed . There's been nearly 100% turnover since he was there. The nursing staff did their best but were not skilled enough to care for Gary as he declined. A large number of staff from the cook to aides to activities person to sales had all changed in less than a year. The one true nurse was horrible: All talk, no action . Again, most every main staff person is new. We were happy there for about 9 months until he declined rapidly. The facility is only about half full now. Looking back I can see it was not managed well by the director . We were thrilled for a while there. Until we weren't. Truly I was so happy I could afford to have him in such a nice place! The facility itself is truly lovely. The first few months were great.! Then they lost about 3 cooks and the staff had to work together to feed everyone. The activities person quit. The salesperson quit. The best aides quit and went elsewhere. The nurse was a joke who didn't follow through . She'd "forget" to order Gary's meds through the VA then I'd have to go there myself and get them, or pay out of pocket for one at our pharmacy. There are lovely people there. [name removed] was quite well liked by everyone because he's a sweetheart. There are no perfect care homes. Very nice for the price.

Pros and Cons

There is constant staff turnover. Occasionally they miss laundry and house cleaning. The food is average, they have trouble keeping a chef. Very ordinary meals. Lots of turnover for the activity director. Missed activities on holidays. There is a constant increase in the monthly care rate. Friendly staff, but a great deal of staff turnover. Monthly care costs frequently increase, but it remains the nicest, most luxe accommodations in Topeka

Legend at Capitol Ridge

There were problems with staff the entire time he was there. Washington not impressed with Legend. Facility is fine. It's all about staff, which changes all the time. I was there two weeks ago and didn't recognize anyone. Best advice is that you are your relatives best advocate. Ask lots of questions and hold them to what they say they will do. The current staff may be wonderful, but during the time [name removed] was there a change in staff didn't help at all. We had to push constantly for his room to be cleaned. He "lost" clothes, watches, cds and DVDs while he was there.

Feels like Home!

Legend at Capitol Ridge has given my 95 year old father a feeling of home and all the other residents there are his family. Very caring and inclusive.

A great retirement community in Topeka.

Legend at Capital Ridge was a good place. I had to move my dad around to 5 different care centers in Topeka, and this was the best. I felt the staff was really great, and they made the hard times bearable.

Safe, friendly and caring "new home" for Dad!

Transportation is available to get clients to doctors appointments. The facility has a beautiful courtyard where the residents are able to sit outside and watch the birds and squirrels and enjoy the day talking. I would highly recommend Legends at Capital at Ridge to anyone who is looking.

Ritz Carlton Style Living in Topeka, KS

When deciding on a place, we expressly asked about staffing and were told there was very little to no turnover. As it turns out, they are now having staffing shortages, so some of the services that we're paying for are not getting completed in a timely fashion. I will say that Legends is doing everything it can to keep up with the services promised, And they have always gotten them completed. But we have had to call them and ask that they complete the services before they get done. Otherwise, it's truly a Ritz Carlton style of living in Topeka, KS that we didn't expect to find there. And overall, we are very very pleased with Legends. It is truly the best, and we could not be more thrilled that our mother is there. We just wish they would get the staffing issues worked out.

Review for Legend at Capital Ridge

Great at getting my love done to meals. Meals seem to be improving. Could improve in giving my loved one reminders to use bathroom. Also facility needs to replace washers and dryers. Laundry seems to be an issue. Staff really care about my loved one, and are very kind to them.

Wonderful Atmosphere

We toured the top facilities with both assisted living and onsite memory care in Topeka for my Aunt, and this was our top choice by far. The facility is very clean and maintained, and the staff are super friendly and well engaged with the residents. From a great social dining experience to wonderful, well planned activities, they truly seem to have the resident comfort and happiness in mind. It is a very uplifting atmosphere, as the residents seem so happy and comfortable. The apartments and amenities are excellent, and the top level professional care has made this our first and only choice for high end assisted living for my Aunt.

My wife and I will be moving into Legend Senior Living in 2023 on the assisted living side. I often visit, unannounced, and the staff is very pleasant and always helpful. The folks who live there are also very nice.

My Husband's New Home

I am very pleased with Legend at Capital Ridge. It's a very warm, family-like environment. I like the size of the community - it's not really large. So I feel like the residents get more personal attention. When I first visited, I immediately felt like this was going to be the place for my husband. He has truly thrived here and is happy, which makes having to move him into a care home much easier for me. I would highly recommend it to others. It's a great value. Several of the other quality care homes in Topeka are nearly twice the price. Legend really tries to include the family with some special activates - for instance, there's going to be a Thanksgiving family meal coming up. And I like that they make that effort to include the family as well.
