Capital Oaks Retirement Resort at a Glance
What Does Capital Oaks Offer?
Capital Oaks is independent living only. The company says plainly that it is not licensed to help with medications, bathing, dressing, or other personal care, so residents who need that help hire a home care agency, and one is available on site.
Independent living
Studios through three bedroom apartments of about 566 to 1,206 square feet, each with a full kitchen, a washer and dryer, and an emergency alert system.
Live in managers and travel
Managers live in the building, and residents can stay at other Resort Lifestyle communities around the country through a travel program.
What Daily Life Looks Like
Chefs serve three meals a day at flexible hours with tableside service and a casual buffet, meal delivery to your apartment costs nothing extra, and a 24 hour pantry has snacks.
- A 150 seat theater
- A fitness center
- Weekly light housekeeping
- Utilities, cable, and internet included
- Free scheduled transportation twice a week
- A library, billiards, an arts and crafts room, and a computer center
What Does Capital Oaks Cost?
Capital Oaks charges one all inclusive monthly rent with no buy in and no long term lease. Move in requires a deposit equal to one month's rent, half of which is refundable. Home care, salon visits, and the on site shops cost extra. Ask me for current pricing and I will get you the exact monthly number for the apartment you want.
Is Capital Oaks Licensed by the State?
No. North Carolina does not license independent living, and Capital Oaks does not hold an assisted living license, so there are no state inspections or star ratings for it. I found no news of serious problems at the community.
What I'd Ask on a Tour
