Capital Manor

I visited this facility

My husband and I visited Capitol Manor last month. His Auntie, who is partly disabled, wants to move to a retirement home because it's too difficult for her to manage her home by herself any more and her kids are worthless when it comes to helping her with anything. So we told her we'd shop around for her and then let her know what we thought of the places around the Salem area. Capitol Manor was nice and she liked it the best, so she'll be moving there soon. It's been here a while and has a good reputation in the community. There were lots of activities for older adults and we were told that there were little "mini-groups" of friends within the community that got together to enjoy crafts together, like carving or quilting. Auntie is too much of a recluse and so we thought that would be good for her. It's in her affordability range, too, which was a big issue. She hates to cook for just herself so it's nice that meals are served here. With Auntie in a retirement home we will worry less about her. We are afraid her worthless kids will completely forget about her now that she'll be in what they call "old people storage" but we and others in her family do still care about the old darling and it will be nice to visit her here, knowing she'll have folks looking out for her and new friends to keep her interested in life.
