Capital Oaks is our first choice. What impressed us most was the social atmosphere. We were there during lunchtime and we were able to meet and mingle with a lot of the residents. The rooms were fine as far as their size and layout. The tour, amenities and everything else were good but the availability was not there.

Capital Oaks is a beautiful community. They have nice open areas and a nice dining setup. The staff is very pleasant and helpful. The location was decent and the grounds are beautiful. Everything was well-kept and the place had a lot of light. The food we had was very good.

Capital Oaks was brand-new, it was very nice, and it was beautiful. There were a lot of people in the lobby, and they're all well-dressed and looked happy. It was more upscale, and out of my budget.

Capital Oaks had everything that we would be interested in if we were ready to move at this time. They had a bank, a barber shop, a beauty shop, an exercise facility, and rooms for pets or specific floors for pets. They fed us lunch and it was delicious. We were able to talk to other residents. The staff is very nice, pleasant, and not pushy.

Capital Oaks was very nice and extremely clean. It was like living at a resort. The rooms were very large and nice. They had a snack bar and a dining area. We didn't see any activities while we were there, but they did have a nice theater. The saleslady was very nice. The people we met were nice, too.

Capital Oaks is brand new. I met the staff and the residents, and everyone was congenial and friendly. I just like the place. What I like best is the attitude of the staff and management team. They are there to help us. Everyone is happy here. The food is good; they can make a sandwich, and they have a big salad bar.
