Legend at Capital Ridge

I placed 5 stars because this facility deserves this rating. My mother was in a rehab facility. I had tried other places with no avail. I was running out of time for my mother to be in rehab, she either goes to a facility or she goes home, mainly because of insurance. Legend came in just at the last minute, did a assessment on my mom and agreed to take her. Prior to mom's scheduled admittance, I toured the facility. It is absolutely beautiful inside and out. Very well maintained, the residents there were extremely happy and the staff was amazing. They understood the situation I was in, having never been in a situation like that. They were very patient and kind, answered all of my questions and walked me through the process. Unfortunately, the night before mom was to be transferred she spiked a fever and was admitted into the hospital, she never did make it to live at legend as her condition worsened almost over night and was transferred out of Topeka for surgical intervention. I know had my mother been able to live at legend she would have enjoyed her time there. I highly recommend this facility, they treat you like family and genuinely care about their residents.

I love this place and its philosophy for my mother. It's open and friendly, very welcoming and encourages independence and positivity. Love all the activities they offer that stimulate cognitive function and provide socialization. I thought the adjustment period would be much longer. She has been there a week and is already adapting even with her short term memory deficit. Staff is attentive. Everything I've asked for or about has been addressed in the moment.

When I visited Legend, I was looking for a safe and “homey” place for my elderly Mother who suffers from memory loss and cognitive impairment. During these first weeks, the staff has gone above and beyond to make her feel welcome while getting to know her abilities and limitations. They have treated her with the utmost kindness - as if she were a member of their respective families. It seems we have indeed found a new home for her.
