Legend at Capital Ridge in Topeka offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care. The secured community structure supports residents who need daily assistance as well as those living with dementia. Short-term or respite stays can be arranged, which is useful for post-hospital recovery or caregiver relief. Residents managing diabetes receive oversight that includes monitoring and nutritional guidance, and a speech therapist is available for communication or swallowing issues.
Additional clinical resources are provided on-site. Nurses coordinate medication management, incontinence care and ambulatory assistance, while occupational and physical therapists deliver personalized rehabilitation plans. A podiatrist visits to address foot health, and hospice care is in place when comfort-focused support becomes necessary. Suites and common areas have been designed to meet the needs of people with memory loss, and staff implement evidence-based programming that targets cognitive and behavioral symptoms.
