Resort Lifestyle Communities

My Mom moved in just as the Covid-19 lock down began, which prohibited family visits for a while. In a facility new to her and with social distancing, it was hard to make friends at first. The staff stepped up, made her comfortable, supplied meals to each residents room and assisted with the technical details of her move. Now she has several friends and is pleased that she made her move. She had lived in two other residences previously. Both she and I will tell you Oak Park is head and shoulders better. Specifically, the food and staff are wonderful. [name removed] , the manager, is a conscientious, thoughtful and caring man. With his leadership, Oak Park is number one in my book.

From the first visit to the when the last box was unloaded, Mom knew this was the right place for her. Her first statement was "it doesn't feel like a nursing home." The residents were warm and friendly and maybe most importantly inviting. They asked Mom to join them for lunch and cards and were engaging. Mom loves the fountains at the open atmosphere. For us, in addition to the socialization and meals, we liked the idea that if in the future she needs more services [ex. bathing, dressing etc.] she could have those services provided [at a charge] without having to go to a full assisted living program. Mom had one day were she was not feeling well and they brought her dinner to the apartment with no complaints. She has not partaken of the activities as of yet but there are things she is interested in. She also enjoys the valet parking.

I am searching for Senior Communities in which to move. My daughter and I visited Emerald Oaks. [name removed] gave us a tour and treated us to lunch there. A number of residents introduced themselves and said how much they like it there. [name removed] and the staff were very nice and knowledgeable. The facility was spotless and very well kept. The offer all of the amenities one could hope for. [name removed] has stayed in touch since our visit and offered her help in various ways. I am not quite ready to move just yet but will before long. Emerald Oaks is high on my list.

My husband and I left our home in the East to come to Omaha to be near our daughter, and we chose Maple Ridge because it seemed the best choice. We have not been disappointed. The surroundings, although right off of the highways, is down a bit of a hill and has lots of grass and feels away from everything.The apartment is spacious and has walk-in closets and lots of storage space. It is airy and light, and we were able to keep our small dog and cat. The common rooms are beautifully appointed and the staff bend over backward to be helpful. [Name removed] and [name removed], the managers, are highly visible, always helping out in the dining room or wherever needed. There is beautiful artwork throughout the residence The food is very good, lots of choices, and can be brought to one's room if ordered during meal time. The only thing that was problematic was that somehow we were under the impression that, although we knew health aides had to be contracted for, they would be more readily available.

Good place to be

My mom moved from her single home of 50 years to her apt 3 months ago. It took time for her to settle in. She is keeping much more engaged with all the activities. She is eating much better than she was when living alone. Housekeeping being provided is huge for her. Her being able to keep her dogs was a major consideration. All the onsite amenities have made her life easier. A great place that has improved my mom's life. I highly recommend Walnut Grove Retirement Community.

I really liked the place and met and liked lots of friends. But I felt after 6 months it was too expensive and I moved into a standard apartment to cut cost. I still visit every sat to play bridge with the group.

We found all our needs at this community for my parents. They have a very large bedroom that fits their king size bed, the price is reasonable, and they provided 3 meals a day with the rent. It has been pretty good for my parents and they are getting involved with the community. They like the community and we have no complaints. Activities are available, my dad went to exercise once. Every staff is great, very nice and caring about the residents. They keep an eye out for them and if they are not at a meal, the staff will call and check on them. Overall they do a good job.

My loved one and I have recently taken a tour of this community and we are looking forward to moving in after construction is completed. The apartment we will be moving into is spacious with lots of great amenities included like our very own garage. The staff have been very helpful during this process and we are looking forward to settling in our new living environment.

My wife, and I am very pleased with our move to this community. It is a nice community, and so far everything is working very well. We do feel comfortable, and at home at this community. The staff have been very kind, and helpful. Everything is well-kept, they do a good job with the cleanliness of the community. All is well for us at this community, and I would recommend.

the staff and management are exceedingly friendly and helpful and patient.

My mother in law loves living at oak Park. The staff are wonderful and very nice. The food is very good and they are very accommodating. They offer various activities including bingo, cards and they have a speaker coming in once a week for the next few weeks to talk about ancestry. They have a hairdresser and a drug store on site. The community is very clean and I would recommend it.

Just recently placed my mother-in-law here - it was the only place I looked at - and I looked at many - where I truly felt I could live...full kitchen big enough for her table from home - very spacious; lots and lots of storage; open and airy...and the people couldn't be friendlier. Only place that had housekeeping every week at no additional charge; all meals included in price - able to have meals delivered to room when not able to make it to dining room...supplied their own life line that rang into the unit; managers that actually lived on site...and did I mention it's only one year old so everything is new and modern. She's happy to be as independent as she can be for as long as possible.

We have been very pleased with this community. Other than the few mechanical things that they need to fix and the high turn around in staff they are great. The food has been excellent. They treat you like you are on a cruise ship. There fine dining time is great. The facilities are marvelous. They treat you better than you should be treated. My wife is in heaven.

The staff is nice at this community. The food is fine. They offer a large variety of activities. The location was not a good fit for me. They kept the community clean and well maintained.

We had a good tour of Capital Oaks Retirement Resort. I did find it was a little to expensive for us. They offer a lot of great amenities. There is to much stuff going on than I think my aunt and uncle could enjoy.

We've been here now for a week and our initial beliefs have been borne out. The building itself is great, the food outstanding , and the residents are extra friendly. Can't sit down for a meal without someone joining us. Since were still an us a fairly high ratio of couples was an added plus in our decision. Would recommend Capital Oaks unconditionally.

it is a very caring place, everyone is so nice

My Mom recently moved into The Capital Oaks Retirement Resort. She absolutely loves it there. She is so pleased with everything, including the wonderful staff, the meals, and the options for activities!! We were so concerned about how Mom would adjust to her move and we truly could not be more pleased. It is so nice to see her so happy and excited!! Many thanks to Capital Oaks and their entire staff for making this a great experience for our Mom !

My Dad is one of the first residents. Spacious apartment homes, beautiful common areas and super friendly (and helpful) staff await you and your family at Capital Oaks. The dining room is amazing and the food is very good too. It's nice to have fruit, sandwiches and healthy snacks available 24/7/365 in case Dad runs long at an appointment or has the midnight munchies. We LOVE the medication adherence packaging of Dad's pills and monthly pharmacist check in provided by Hayes Barton Pharmacy! Pills are grouped into morning, noon, dinner and before bed "bubbles" that are easily punched out and taken. It really helps keep Dad on track switch his meds. The print out accompanying the packaging goes with him to all doctors visits to ensure all providers are in sync with what Dad is taking. Hayes Barton has a satellite branch on "Main Street" on the first floor of Capital Oaks - couldn't be any easier - and it's only $20 monthly for the packing - a tremendous value!
