Capital Oaks

All are a 5 except number a 4 only because there has been some recent turnover in the staff lately so it is hard to evaluate now. The main reason we chose Capitol Oaks was the location and the value for the money.

Nice new neighborhood & friendly neighbors

I have been a resident here for 2 1/2 years. I have made many new friends here, as well as keeping friends from my previous neighborhood. With 24/7 concierge and good security, I feel safe. There are daily options for activities & 3 meals a day.... coupled with full kitchen in my apartment.

Great place to live and age gracefully.

As a Resident at Capital Oaks I find that all of the staff members are friendly and knowegable and willing to help. The activities Director has designed many activeties (Aerobics, Duolingo, classes, videos, bridge, and Rummykub. They provide three meals a day and the "Chef's Pantry" has snacks available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I wasn't sure I would like it here but I have made many friends here at Capital Oaks. The Fitness Center is open seven day a week, twenty four hours a day. They also schedule off-site activities and bus for folks who do not have a car or those who no longer drive. The Apartments are large and all have a washer and dryer so you can do your own laundry. They also provide Housekeepers for light house keeping once a week. The Common Areas are large and well-maintained also.

[name removed] thinks it's great

It's a great place with a great staff and great residents. Easy walks to nearby parks and nice nearby neighborhoods to walk through. The apartments are spacious and contain a full kitchen. There is a bathroom with a washer and drier closed off with bifold doors. most apartments have a balcony or terrace. I have a garage here with a small workshop: with a 2X5ft work bench, a small table saw, a chop saw, a drill press, and a tool cabinet. I also keep my bicycle in the garage. All that and I can still park my full size car in the garage. Raleigh is a great place to live with several museums, cultural venues, Collegiate and professional sporting venues, and large shopping centers.

Life on an unending cruise

A little over 3 months ago we moved into Capital Oaks on Ray Road. We have been on many cruises and living here is a lot like being on a cruise. All meals are included and we can have soft serve ice cream any time. Our apartment is cleaned regularly (also included). If anything needs repairs we just phone the front desk. There are many activities such as card games, book club, knitting/sewing club, "destination" presentations, and outings to interesting places. The residents and staff are friendly and quick to offer advice when we ask. But Capital Oaks is better than a cruise because our apartment is bigger than a stateroom and does not rock so we don't get seasick. Also we have a full sized kitchen with appliances and a full sized washer and dryer. The gym is just the right size. If we need help (health issues, etc.)we just call the front desk or push the button on our "life alert type of device." They have us covered here, entertainment, support for aging, and comfortable living.

Perfect place for my father!

I learned so much about senior living places while touring and searching for a place for my 90 year old father to relocate to. Ultimately, we decided on Capital Oaks and couldn't be happier! The staff are so friendly, most have been there a while, the food is wonderful and serves three meals a day (plus has a small snack/light meal pantry), no nickel-and-diming for extras. He has a full laundry set up and we rented the extra garage for a very reasonable rate! It is kept clean, the grounds are neat, and there are a lot of activities offered. Like everything, it is what you make it but my father has been good about getting out to meet people, joined their Veteran's Group, etc. Highly recommend!

Capital Oaks is a great choice

Capital Oaks is a great choice, it just was not the right fit for my mother. My mother was more needy than the independent model and by the time I figured that out she had made her mind up that she did not want to stay there. I think more help from staff in assessing my Mom in the beginning could have been helpful.

Review for Capital Oaks Retirement Resort

Concerns are not addressed and or met with lies. I do not feel safe. Food is inadequate and poor. I order food from outside. Housekeeping is minimal. I will be looking for a new place soon.

Very pleasant staff and residents

There are many people who have been here for 6, 7, 8 years. So that speaks a lot about the community! I am glad I chose Capital Oaks. It had a Catholic Communion Service on Saturdays. Also, my husband and I had rented at Okatie Pines in Okatie, SC which had the exact floor plan and wonderful amenities. Meals and cleaning provided. Theater, exercise room, hair salon, pharmacy. Bus for appts. Both staff and residents are very pleasant.

Everything you need!

Capital Oaks is one of many independent living communities in the RLC Brand throughout the country. All buildings have the exact floor plan. They have roomy apartments from small to large size. In the front entrance is a pretty coy pond. Beyond that is a roomy dining hall serving all meals cafeteria style and included in the monthly rent. As you step outside the dining area, the halls to the right and left have different services: theater, meeting rooms, mailroom, exercise room, pharmacy, hair salon, game room. In the middle of the hall is a big table where people can help complete a large size puzzle. There are different daily activities such as games and religious services. Staff and residents seem very friendly and welcoming. A number of residents have lived here for a long time - 7 or 8 years. I am very glad I chose to come to Capital Oaks.

Mom had trouble adjusting

Not at all the fault of the facility- wonderful people and wonderful residents Mom didn’t get the level of care needed when she first arrived - she was not independent and we didn’t realize that until she was there and it became more apparent Needed more upfront evaluation before moving her - she needs assisted not independent living

Capital Oaks Retirement Resort review

They seem to have a high staff turnover, especially in the kitchen. But everyone is very friendly and there are lots of activities. I think the biggest remark would be that the staff who work there are lovely and the food can sometimes be inconsistent due to high turnover which is a common occurred in this industry. Everyone is trying their best.

Capital Oaks is a beautiful facility. When you first walk in, you see the beautiful lobby. There’s a water fountain in the center with fish. The floors above have an open area and railings so you can look down or all the way up to the skylight. Past the water fountain is the dining room. They have cafeteria style serving. But they also have servers to carry the tray for those in need. The food is delicious! My sister moved here from Minneapolis after having health issues. It was a wonderful way for her to make friends. She stays very active with the daily exercise classes, book club, afternoon and evening movies and Walking group. After looking at four other facilities, Capital Oaks definitely outshines all of them!

I toured this community and it was very nice, top notch. The suites are a bit away from the common areas and would have required my loved one to do a lot of walking to get to them. Not ideal for us. The dining is buffet style versus restaurant style like a lot of other facilities are. A better fit for more active residents who don't have trouble getting around.
