Overview of Capstone Village

Capstone Village offers assisted living, independent living, and memory care in Tuscaloosa, AL.

Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

A two bedroom apartment can suit a couple moving together, while a one bedroom apartment or private room gives an individual a separate living space. Pets are allowed, and The University of Alabama owns Capstone Village.

Residents have several distinct places to spend time, including a salon, library, arts and crafts room, woodworking room, and resident gardens for grooming, reading, creative projects, woodworking, and gardening.
